Point of View: Here We Go Again

Scott

I am riding the crazy train again. In just two more days, I have not one but two new stories coming out – “Through the Veil” in the anthology “Myths Untold – Faery” and my story “Repetition” in the spring “MCB Quarterly”. So I am no longer an author – I am now J. Scott Coatsworth, master promoter of the works of the obscure author of the same name. Promotion is a totally different skill set from writing. As an author, we can hide away in our writer caves and forget to shower, burrowing down the rabbit hole after our … Read more

Guest Post: Arthur Griffin, The Lusty Adventures of Theseus

The Lusty Adventures of Theseus

Hi there! My name’s Arthur Griffin, and I’m super-stoked to visit Scott’s little corner of the web as part of my blog tour promoting my new book, The Lusty Adventures of Theseus, which I describe as a gay mythological erotic comic adventure fantasy. You know, simple. People ask me what drove me to write Lusty Adventures. Well, the truth is there were several impetuses… impeti… impe… There were several reasons I wanted to write it. The first is I’m a big old nerd, and Greek mythology has always been near and dear to my heart. I’ve always loved all the … Read more

“The Autumn Lands” – Blog Tour Redux

GGR review

Hey all… I recently saw that the GGR Review had a free spot coming up, and jumped at the chance: What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time? LOL… I wish I had some. My husband and I run several directories for the LGBTIQ community, and I literally work from 5:30 in the morning to 9 PM at night, 6 days a week on that. So I had to carve out my writing time from that. But I do like to read, of course, when I can squeeze it in. And I also love … Read more

“The Autumn Lands” Blog Tour Stops at Jessie G’s Blog

Jessie G.

One of my last blog tour stops is with the fabulous Jessie G: Thanks, Jessie, for having me on your blog. I’ve only been writing this time around for about two years now. I say this time around because I made a go of being an author some twenty five years ago. I wrote a novel in my early twenties, and sent it out to ten publishers. I was sure it would be snapped up and my career as a writer would be assured. A month went by, then two, and then the rejections began trickling in. One, then two … Read more

Andrew Q. Gordon Invites me to Stop By His Blog

Andrew Q. Gordon's Blog

One of my LGBT sci fi idols, Andrew Q Gordon, has me up at his blog today as part of my blog tour for “The Autumn Lands”. I am thrilled to be there. 🙂 WHAT IS “THE AUTUMN LANDS” ABOUT? Hmmm… that’s a tough one. It’s about a place where it’s always fall. And it’s about a young man coming to terms with his sexuality. And it’s about an elf with a past that he can’t remember. And there’s a twist. In my stories, there’s almost always a twist. See the full post here

“The Autumn Lands” Visits Anna Butler’s Blog

Yoday my “The Autumn Lands” blog tour stopped by Anna Butler’s blog, Love That’s Out of This World: Write a story about fall… It sounds easy, right? But I never do anything easy. I could have written a happy little contemporary piece about a love that blossoms amidst the autumn leaves. Or a straightforward metaphor about a man entering the autumn of his life. But I like things that twist and turn. Stories that confound expectations. So instead I wrote The Autumn Lands, a story that’s a hybrid of a bunch of different things… The book can be ordered (3.99 … Read more

Today’s Blog Tour Stop for The Autumn Lands

Cate Ashwood

Today I’m stopping by Cate Ashwood’s blog to answer some interview questions – Thanks Cate! How do you think your writing has developed since you started? Oh, it’s gotten much better. I first started writing when I was in fourth or fifth grade. I wrote on and off until my early twenties, when I finished my first novel. When it and five or ten short stories were all rejected, I kind of lost momentum, and though I tried to come back to it several times, it never really stuck. Somehow, though, I had this idea in the back of my … Read more
