Scott Coatsworth: How would you describe your writing style/genre? Rory Ni Coileain: MM mythic and legendary fantasy – and, presently, erotic romance. The fantasy element is every bit as important to me as the romance; … Read more

Four Diamond Review for “Between the Lines”

Between the Lines

From Exquisite Reviews: This was a short read but it definitely delivered and kept you wanting more. I wanted to read more from J. Scott Coatsworth since reading his short story in the Candle in the Dark: Anthology. This was a fresh take for me and I enjoyed the book but I was disappointed that it wasn’t longer. J. Scott has a way of writing characters that make you want to read their minds. I know I am selfish in wanting more from him, but I really want him to write a full book. His writing style doesn’t call for … Read more

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

Another Blog Tour Stop…

Melanie Marshall

I stopped by Melanie Marshall‘s blog to answer a few questions yesterday, including: Are you a full-time writer? Oh, I wish. I have so many ideas I want to explore. But my husband Mark and I run our own little internet company, and that takes most of our time. I do try to sneak in an hour or hour and a half to write each day.

Mischief Corner Books Quarterly V2 is Out – And I’m In It!

MCB Quarterly

It’s here, it’s here! I have a brand new story, “Translation”, in the new second edition of the Mischief Corner Books Quarterly! Four great stories (and more) for just Four Bucks. You can find it at MCB here: And at Amazon here. Here’s an exclusive excerpt from my story: “Rico,” someone said, shaking his shoulder. “Rico, wake up.” “What?” Enrico said, turning over. He always slept naked, and as his eyes flickered open, he was surprised to see Dominic. He pulled the sheets up over himself, strangely self-conscious. It’s not like he hasn’t seen it before. “I’m sorry,” Dominic said. … Read more
