And Another Five Star Review for River City from Scattered Thoughts

by
Rveiwq - Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words - River City

Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words absolutely fricking loved it: All the characters here are so beautifully created, so multidimensional that they are all on equal footing.  Each and every one is so important to the story and will gain equal measure in your heart.  It’s a large cast but it simply doesn’t matter.  You invest yourself completely in their lives and their stories.  You hurt with them, you laugh with them…the entire spectrum of emotion will be trotted out here between the kids thrown out of their … Read more

Five Stars for River City from Drops of Ink

by
Drops of Ink - River City Review

Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – five stars from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: I was drawn into the story immediately, and wanted to know more about the overarching story, the characters, and how they would interact. The chapters are a great size, perfect for diving in and out of the story although, as I approached the latter part of the book, I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know how everyone’s stories would end. The story is a lovely, easy, feel-good read with plenty of ‘heart,’ and I very … Read more

Amazing Review for “The River City Chronicles”

by
Wicked Faerie - River City

Just got a fantastic review from Chris at Wicked Faerie for my “other” book this week – “The River City Chronicles”: “I thoroughly enjoyed The River City Chronicles. I liked the entire ensemble cast and how their stories connected in multiple places. The storytelling throughout this book is a particular strength of this author as he constantly provides a full, rich storyline no matter where the character lies within the story… highly recommend this, especially now that it’s summer. This is a great sit by the pool and get sucked into the story type of book. So go and grab … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: It’s Here!

The River City Chronicles

Hey all, Last week was a momentous one for me. After two and a half years and lots of effort, “The River City Chronicles” was released on Wednesday, my very first self-published work. The book is now available in eBook and print formats, and I am thrilled to finally have crossed a line I have labored towards for decades. I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and almost always had a dream of being a publisher too, though that came a little later. There’s something amazing about having the keys to the kingdom – about being fully in control of … Read more

The End of River City. For Now.

by
River City Chronicles

Hey all… For the last two years, I’ve posted a new chapter of River City almost every single week. Haven’t read it yet? You can read the whole thing here: https://www.jscottcoatsworth.com/the-river-city-chronicles-english-version/ It started out as an experiment. Could I write a weekly serial and have a new chapter up for my readers every Thursday? I was inspired by Alex Woolfson and Adam DeKraker, who post a new page of “The Young Protectors” every week. But River City also started with secrets. Each character had one, and I intended to reveal them all by the end of the story. I expected … Read more

Point of View: OMFG, It’s Finished

River City

The day that I thought would NEVER come is finally here. One year and eleven months after I started it, the River City Chronicles is finally done. Well, the first arc, at least. I powered through the final four chapters last Wednesday, typing the last word just shy of 10:30 PM, which for me is like three in the morning. I’m old LOL… And because I’m such a tease, here are the last three lines for your enjoyment: There were two mugs sitting there, littered with bits of dried tea. He picked one up, savoring the lingering smell of vanilla. … Read more
