What a wild narrative ride this was! I loved every word of it.” Got another great four and a half star one from Pixie at “MM Good Reads”: “This is an amazing story, the world building, the character story … Read more

ANNOUNCEMENT/GIVEAWAY: The Rising Tide, by J. Scott Coatsworth

The Rising Tide

Eddy Tremayne rode his horse, Cassiopeia, along the edge of the pastures that were the last official human habitations before the Anatov Mountains. Several ranchers along the Verge—the zone between the ranches and the foothills—had reported losses of sheep and cattle in the last few weeks. As the elected sheriff of First District, which ran from Micavery and the South Pole to the mountains, it was Eddy’s responsibility to find out what was going on. He had his crossbow strapped to his back and his long knife in a leather sheath at his waist. He’d been carrying them for long … Read more

“A New Year” Double Edition Releases Wednesday

A New Year

Hey all, My latest magical re-release comes out in two days – A New Year: Special Double Edition. This one is special – it’s actually two versions of the same story. From the foreword: “A New Year” has a bit of a history. When I first wrote it, it was intended for an anthology to be out by Dreamspinner. It tells the life-long love story of Hank and Dale. After sending it in, I re-read the prompt and realized it called for stories set outside the USA. I had set the entire tale in Northern California, with most of it … Read more
