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
Wow – lots of news this week – today is also the launch date for “Discovery: QSF’s Second Annual Flash Fiction Contest”. This is a great little book – and I say little because none of the hundred-plus stories included are more that 300 words long. The five contest winners are included, but there are many other great stories in here, running the gamut from sci fi to fantasy to paranormal to horror. It’s also a fundraiser for QSF… after the great folks at Mischief Corner Books take a small cut to pay expenses, the rest goes to fund the … Read more
It was quite an honor to be asked onto the new 3M/Musketeers podcast – each week the hosts invite an author of MM fiction to an hour-long discussion roundtable. Our own talk covered the gamut from LGBT representation in mainstream speculative fiction to gay superheroes to oreogasms (don’t ask). Hear the whole thing here: http://3mmusketeerspodcast.akwekon.com/index.php/2015/07/10/j-scott-coatsworth-available-now/ Thanks so much to Jayne Lockwood, SA Collins and Vance Bastian for a great chat. And I’ll be guest hosting with SA and Vance for an upcoming episode with author Stephen del Mar!
OK, so I’ve kinda been on Amazon before. But only as part of a couple anthologies and journals. Which was awesome enough.

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

Hey all, My latest published story just came in the mail. Originally titled “Fly”, “Tight” is a little short I wrote years ago, and then pulled out and updated last year.

It’s a modern day fantasy/magical realism piece about a man who lost his partner in a freak airline accident, and now is terrified to fly, but finds he has to go to San Francisco by plane for a conference.
