In the second excerpt, I introduced Aik, Raven’s loyal friend (and inconveniently for a thief, part of the Gullton city Guard). … Read more

Point of View: The Dragon Eater Teaser #1

by
Gullton Map - The Dragon Eater

Hey all… we’re just two months away from my first major release in twenty months – I released Dropnauts in May of 2021. I didn’t mean for it to take this long, but there were reasons. That said, I am thrilled to bring my new Tharassas Cycle to you thanks to Steven Radecki and Water Dragon Publications. It’s loosely connected to The Ariadne Cycle and Dropnauts, and to The Oberon Cycle too, falling somewhere in the middle of these two time-wise. It’s my boy-eats-dragon, other boy-wears-gauntlet, girl-becomes hencha queen YA/Adult crossover sci-fantasy four book trilogy. Isn’t that a mouthful? To … Read more

Review: The Stark Divide

by
The Stark Divide - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a five star review from Ulysses at the Paranormal Romance Guild Universal Buy Link The Review I was drawn to this book initially because of the character of Colin McAvery. The presence of a gay character, with a partner, in a sci-fi series. What I didn’t expect was that, while McAvery is central to the story, whose epic sweep covers thirty years in the life of the Ariadne project, he is just himself. My reading trends these past dozen years have taken me to books that feature gay characters, gay plotlines, gay context. That’s not really what Coatsworth … Read more

Repetition Gets Reviewed!

by
Repetition Review - QSF

Just got a great review for Repetition over at Queer Sci Fi – thanks, Maryann! “Davis Redland has a program that can do “past-pathing.”… His new client John has an unusual request – he wants Davis to change his past to put him back into the closet. “Repetition” is a well-written tale, in a “Twilight Zone” sort of way. I’ve read several short stories by Scott Coatsworth and he always leaves me with things to think about. This one delves into the idea of changing what has already been resolved – why go back and have to fight for it … Read more
