Rainbow Awards Honorable Mentions!

by

I’m thrilled to have not one but three honorable mention notices from the Rainbow Awards (which means I *could* be in contention for a win. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The first is for River City: “I absolutely loved The River City Chronicles. The author acknowledges Armistead Maupin in the Foreword, but truthfully, I loved this book way more than Maupin. I figured out fairly early on where some of the plot points were headed, but it didn’t matter. It was just lovely to be immersed in this world. If only this was ‘book 1’ then I could … Read more

REVIEW: Skythane – O.E. Tearmann

by
Skythane

O.E. Tearmann just gave Skythane an AMAZING review. As a reader, you feel a lot like Jameson does stepping off the shuttle: you’re entering a whole new world, but it doesn’t take long to sweep you up in its events. You won’t get answers to every question you ask, but you will get an awful lot of beautiful scenery, some amazing moments and a boots-on-the-ground understanding of this universe that slowly unfolds around you. The layered and delicately nuanced cultures and the interactions between them are a delight to behold. Each culture and the people it shapes have their own … Read more

FIVE STAR REVIEW: Ithani

by

Just got an amazing review for Ithani this week from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: “…the world building is fabulous, detailed, and very visual…. I found the ending of this series very satisfying, and loved the sense of everything coming full circle, especially with the revelation of how the planet was named. I’d recommend Ithani to readers who enjoy science fiction with in depth world building, complex characters, and a plot that keeps you reading. I would however, recommend reading the series in order as this isn’t a stand alone. 5 out of 5 stars.” Read the whole thing here. Buy … Read more

AMAZING REVIEW: “The Oberon Cycle” – O.E. Tearmann

by

Just got the most amazing review of the whole “Oberon Cycle” – “Skythane,” “Lander,” and “the new “Ithani”: This is a world full of wonderfully flawed, wonderfully honest characters. Each person is a world in themselves, unique and full of interest. And each is allowed to follow their own arcs and their own hearts, for better and for worse… Quick, playful and clever, the style is catchy. The writer has a real flare for one liners to end a scene. At times they seemed a touch over-used, but never problematic. Ninety percent of the time, they were fun… Ooooh boy … Read more

Amazing review for “ithani”

by

Sometimes a reader just gets you, and totally connects with what you have written. I live for those times. Thanks to Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words for this amazing review: This morning, I got one of the most beautiful reviews I think I ever received, from Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words: After finishing the book, I knew writing this review was going to be frustrating. Why? Because it’s going to be hard to find the words to describe just how incredible Ithani, the final story in The Oberon Cycle truly is. J. Scott Coatsworth left himself … Read more
