Four Heart Review for “Slow Thaw”

by

Just got a great four heart review for “Slow Thaw” from Pixie at MM Good Reads! This is a really great story that while set around Christmas time isn’t a Christmas story, it’s a story about finding love in terrible circumstances, and of a reminder of what we humans are doing to this world. The descriptions of the setting is astounding, you can easily picture the ice shelf, of a terrible crack racing towards you as the ice shelf breaks apart, the stunning view of something that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years as it succumbs to … Read more

Great Review for Repetition

Just got a great review for Repetition from Rainbow Book Reviews: http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/repetition-by-j-scott-coatsworth “While the technology of time travel Davis uses is sort of explained, at least enough to make it plausible if you don’t go too deep, it is not really the focus of this story.”What I found fascinating is the human part of the equation: Davis’s conclusion about what he should do, his client’s reaction, and the consequences when they collide. It’s amazing what can happen in just over twenty pages of a short story, and the ending, while I had hoped it might be different, is perfect just … Read more

Novel Approach Reviewer Chooses “Lander” as One of the Best of 2018

by

Just got word that Lindsey at the Novel Approach chose “Lander” as one of her fave books of 2018 – what an honor: Lander by J. Scott Coatsworth – I love a good sci-fi and high fantasy combination. It’s not an easy win for me, though. The world building has to be just right,with the fantasy and technology intertwined clearly enough for me to keep up with what is happening and not get lost. The plot still must be complex enough to keep me interested. Skythane, the first book in The Oberon Cycle, did just that. I couldn’t wait to catch up with Xander and Jameson … Read more
