robotech-rick-hunter-cockpit

Hey all, Thought I would do something a little different today – and share with you some of the things I like, so you can see what a weird – scratch that – fascinating person I really am. So here they are in no particular order: Trader Joe’s Ginger and Almond Cashew Granola: Because OMG this stuff is addicting. I have to be careful not to eat the whole box in one sitting. Seriously. This stuff is to die for. Robotech: Because I watched it in my formative years, but missed the two pivotal episodes that bridged series, and forever … Read more

Divine Magazine Loves Skythane

by
Skythane

This just in… and wow. *cries a little* Debbie Attenborough at Divine Magazine just posted a great five star review of Skythane: “The story flows like a river, from its source, getting faster and faster, deeper and wider until…. well, until it reaches the sea! There is no massive info dump that you sometimes get in this sort of story, it comes in drips, so you can process each drip before you get the next one. Or in my case, many times through this book, you can pull a face at the kindle and ” say what now???” when you … Read more

Another Great Skythane Review

by
Skythane

More Skythane reviews are rolling in: The fantastic Molly Lolly loves Skythane, and also has a special extra scene I wrote just for her: “Oh man this book was good. I truly enjoyed the world Mr. Coatsworth created. There was so much world building that pulled me into the place and made me feel like I was there… The world built in this story is expansive. I completely got lost in all of the places, scenery, and problems facing everyone… THAT ENDING THOUGH! There was a definitive sense of hope at the end of the last chapter. You knew there was more … Read more

It was a good week. Mostly. First of all, “Skythane” arrived at my doorstep in the form of a small box of print copies from Dreamspinner. I love opening boxes with my new books inside, and this one was extra special – my first novel. And the good reviews keep coming in. 🙂 Then came the next bit of good news. My novel “Liminal Sky” was just picked up for publication in October by DSP Publications.  “Liminal Sky” is an epic sci fi tale with a number of queer characters, about the launch of mankind’s first generation ship built to travel … Read more
