5 Star Review for “Through the Veil” from Bayou Book Junkie

Bayou Book Review

Just in – a great review from Bayou Book Junkie: – here’s what they said about my story, “Through the Veil”: Colton is a trans man barely managing to survive on the canals in San Francisco. Fate brings him together with an elf that needs his help and together they will try to find Tris’s brother. I loved how the author wove action with mythology and romance and gave us a very detailed story that I just couldn’t put down until it ended! Colton and Tris were both amazing on their own, but together they seemed unstoppable and I was very … Read more

Today’s Blog Tour Stop for The Autumn Lands

Today I’m stopping by Elizabeth Noble’s blog for one of my favorite stops this tour – talking about how the cover came together, done by the amazing cover designer Catherine Dair. I LOVE working with an artist on the cover for a new book. It’s your chance as an author to see your work through someone else’s eyes, made real. I’ve been through the process three times now, and it’s been fun every time (at least for me; I’ve probably sent at least one cover designer away screaming). This time around, I was working with the talented Catherine Dair. She … Read more

I am giddy with excitement. Today is the release date for “The Autumn Lands”, my first stand-alone print title. It’s a novella and my longest published work yet, at 35k. Cover artwork by the amazing Catherine Dair. Thanks also to Angel Marzinez, Toni Griffin, and Freddy MacKay for their great beta reads, and to Freddy especially for getting the book into print format, and for wrestling with Amazon to get the print cover right.

Blog Tour Stop – You Gotta Read Reviews

You Gotta Read

Thanks to the nice folks at You Gotta Read Reviews for hosting me with an interview and announcement for “The Homecoming”: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Totally a writer. But also an astronomer. I think I had a fanboy crush on Carl Sagan before that was a thing. But I didn’t realize how much math you had to do! But always a writer, specifically a sci fi and fantasy writer. I grew up on Clarke and Asimov and McCaffrey and Tolkien. Read it here.

Point of View: Do I Have to Choose One Path?

In the last month, I had an amazing series of events take place. Dreamspinner released my first stand-alone work, an eBook novella called “Between the Lines” – a decidedly romantic magical realism piece set in my current hometown of Sacramento. Then RainbowCon happened, and Mark and I spent four glorious days in Tampa meeting so many folks from QSF, and a number of others as well. Two weeks later, my second novella, “The Homecoming”, came out from Less Than Three Press. This is a decidedly different kind of story. Although it includes two gay protagonists, it’s not a romance, coming … Read more

I’m on Goodreads

So I’m now officially a Goodreads.com author – I’ve had my account upgraded to author status, and am busy filling in the details. Being an author is a lot of work! I’m also packing for RainbowCon… and man, there’s a lot of stuff to take. Plus the copies of the QSF flash fcition book I ordered came in, and Mark helped me practice for my author reading Friday at the con. *getting excited* Can’t wait to see many of you there. 🙂 –Scott

Meet Me at RainbowCon!

Scott and Mark

Hey all, My husband Mark and I are heading out to Rainbow Con in Tampa in ten days. We’re excited about the con (despite the fact that it’s in Florida in July) and I’m excited to meet so many of my online friends (and hopefully some new fans). I’ll be at the Queer Sci Fi table on and off, and I’ll be on nine count ’em, nine) panels. 1 PM Thursday: Queering Middle-Earth – Tolkien’s world of Middle-Earth leans heavily toward the male persuasion, and so it doesn’t take much to queer it up with the Elves, Dwarves, Ainur, and … Read more
