4.5 Star Review for Myths Untold: Faery from Wicked Faerie’s Tales & Reviews

by
Myths Untold: Faery

Just in – a great review from Wicked Faerie’s Tales & Reviews: – here’s what they said about my story, “Through the Veil” and the Anthology overall: The final story, and my absolute favorite of the anthology is Through The Veil by J. Scott Coatsworth. The story is set in a dystopian version of the contemporary world that humans have destroyed through their ignorance. There are those that live on the outskirts and those that live in the inner city where life goes on almost as it did pre-Tsunami times. Colton lives day to day trying to survive the best way … Read more

A Great Review for Myths Untold: Faery from The Novel Approach!

by
The Novel Approach

Just in – a fantastic review from The Novel Approach: – here’s what they said about my story, “Through the Veil”: Author J. Scott Coatsworth closes out Myths Untold in a fantastic way with Through the Veil—and gave the other stories a tightly contested run for title of my favorite in the collection. In an alternate San Francisco of the future, a dystopia that lends the story its mythical atmosphere, Colton lives a hardscrabble life as a gondolier and occasional thief. He is a man of needs and contradictions who meets his fate on Alcatraz island in the form of Tris, a stranger from the … Read more

Great Review for Myths Untold: Faery!

by
Anna Butler

Just got an amazing review from Anna Butler for our new anthology, Myths Untold: Faery: I’ve never grown out of my love for myth and faery stories. In their purest forms, they’re primeval, subversive, eldritch, enlightening, sinister, unsafe and ultimately unknowable. When I graduated up from Grimm, it was to Warner Townsend and Dunsany both of whom have moulded my views of what Faerie is, or may be: minutely detailed, threatening worlds with their cold, inhuman and amoral peoples. Get some of that into a modern day take of faery, and I will be satisfied. Four very different authors. Four very different … Read more

Review: Untouchable, by LV Lloyd

by
Untouchable

I just finished a book I’d been planning to read for a long time – LV Lloyd’s “Untouchable”. It’s a space opera, and the fifth book in Lloyd’s Aurigan series. It’s also the first full-length book I have read by Lloyd. I really enjoyed the book. In a nutshell, it’s about several “oms” (Aurigan parlance for homosexual) on the patrol ship Qatar. The story opens with a bang – with one of them on trial for raping a minor, the son of his best friend. Then it spins back to the situation that resulted in the trial, and off we … Read more

Another Five Star Review for “The Autumn Lands”

by

Just got a fantastic review for “The Autumn Lands” (five stars) from Kara at Inked Rainbow Reads: To start of this review I have to say this world the author created in this book was amazing! The author explains everything that is happening in this world you really feel like you are there. Jerrith is on the run after being caught kissing Caspian. The moment these two men eyes meet they just knew they were meant for each other. I will just say I loved the way this author wrote these characters. Between the Dual POV’s which was awesome to … Read more

First Review for “The Autumn Lands”

by

It’s release day, and the first review of my novella “The Autumn Lands” has rolled in – four stars! Thanks Diane! 🙂 The Autumn Lands surprised me, in a most delightful way. Too often fantasy goes off the rails with overly dramatic attention to detail and a propensity to rely on character, plot and narrative tropes to assist in grounding the reader when suspension of disbelief is critical for service to Story. Not so here—at least not at the beginning. The setting and the characters are sketched in just enough to draw the reader in without forcing furrowed brows trying … Read more

Review: Artifice, by Alex Woolfson

by

Now I see what all the fuss is about. I just finished reading the graphic novel Artifice, by Alex Woolfson (illustrations by Winona Nelson). When we planned to attend Rainbow Con, Angel was all excited about the featured guest, some guy I’d never heard of. Turns out Alex had the table across from QSF in the dealer room – he’s a great, sweet, personable guy. I’m sorry it took me so long to review this, Alex! I planned to buy it at RC, but Mark dissuaded me – apparently because he wanted to surprise me for Christmas with a signed … Read more

Point of View: What I’m Thankful For in 2015

by
Santa Scott

Hey all, It’s almost the end of the year, and I find myself getting a little somber and reflective. It’s been a good year–a year of changes, some of them difficult, and some of them extremely rewarding. Angel and I have started referring to it as “the year of the learning curve”. So for today’s Point of View column, I thought I would list some of the people and things from 2015 that I am thankful for. Please keep in mind that this is an incomplete list. I have many more blessings than I have time to recount in print. … Read more
