I’m Featured at Gay Star News!!!

Gay Star News

The amazing folks at Gay Star News just featured me and QSF: Excited by the gay relationship included in the latest Star Trek series, I spoke with science fiction author J. Scott Coatsworth to dig a little deeper into why the genre of science fiction holds such appeal for a lot of LGBTI people. Coatsworth runs Queer Sci Fi with his husband Mark, a site that celebrates fiction that reflects queer reality. When did you first become interested in science fiction? When I was in second or third grade. My mom has always been a big sci-fi/fantasy nut, and a … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: A Good Beta

beta reader - 123rf purchased

Hey all, I just got the last of my beta reads back for “The Rising Tide,” the sequel to “”The Stark Divide.” If you don’t know what a beta reader is, it’s someone who reads an author’s story and gives it a critical review before the author submits the book to the publisher, giving us the chance to fix any egregious errors or plot misfires before the editors see the story. I love my beta readers. I hate my beta readers. It’s a private joke between Angel and us that, just once, I want my beta readers to all agree … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Worlds That Never Were

Forever

Hey all, This week I am bouncing between edits for “Lander”, from my Oberon Cycle trilogy, and beta reads for “The Rising Tide”, in my Liminal Sky series. Both involve interesting worlds that are almost characters in and of themselves. 🙂 Forever, in Liminal Sky, is an O’Neill Cylinder. From Wikipedia: “…a space settlement design proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space.[1] O’Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids.” But I’ve had a hard time finding art … Read more

I write all kinds of things. OK, basically three kinds of things: –Sci Fi –Fantasy –Contemporary Magical Realism I am well-known for always wanting my contemporary to have a little extra something. The magical medallion in “Between the Lines”, the Freaky friday situation in “The Bear at the Bar”, and the sparkles in “River City”. Even my holiday tales have been affected. “A New Year” features an elf from Faerie, and last year’s Christmas tale “Wonderland” had both zombies and a post-apocalyptic Earth. But sometimes I just wanna go sweet. So this year, for the first time, I’ve penned a … Read more

NEW FIVE STAR REVIEW: The Stark Divide

Hearts on Fire - The Stark Divide review

Diane at Hearts on Fire gave The Stark Divide a five star rating: I fear that no matter how I write this review, I will not do this book justice, and part of me just wants to say wow, you should read this book! If you have read any of J. Scott Coatsworth’s work, you know he is a science fiction and fantasy writer and I swear his work just keeps on getting better with each book he writes!… “Wow, you should read this book… I would easily put this on my favorites of 2017 list!” That said, I highly recommend … Read more
