Caileadhama: Through the Veil

Just got a great review of Cailleadhama from Maryann at Queer Sci Fi: “Colton Davis lives in San Francisco, on the dangerous side of the Wall. He’s a trans-man whose transition is not yet complete… Tris is an elf who has crossed the veil from Gleanna Sidhu. He’s come to find his brother Laris and bring him home… An elf with a gift, a magic sword, strange creatures, action, danger, and technological gadgets. It’s suspenseful, sad, sweetly romantic, and all about accepting one’s self… Coatsworth never disappoints he creates another magnificent and magical story that’s filled with colorful characters and descriptions that are really easy to visualize, … Read more

There is ample reason to be downright pessimistic about the future of the human race and the planet in general – who will come to save us? All prospects look dim. But as a sci-fi writer and someone dedicated to finding hope, being down on the future is not my job. So I thought I’d share a few future wishes that I’d like to see come true, regardless of the current … Read more
