Another Autumn Lands Blog Tour Stop

by
Wicked Faerie

Thanks so much to Chris at Wicked Faerie’s Tales and Reviews for hosting my blog tour. For this one, Chris asked me to talk about my inspiration for writing characters: Thanks to Chris for welcoming me to Wicked Faerie’s Tales. Chris asked me how I come up with my characters and storylines. I had to stop and think about that. I’d like to say that they just come to me whole-cloth, but that’s only happened a couple times, and both of those stories were very short. As far as creating characters goes, it tends to be really organic for me. … Read more

Another Four (Well, Hearts) Review for The Autumn Lands

by
Love Bytes

Just got another great review of “The Autumn Lands”, this one from Love Bytes: This is my first read of a J. Scott Coatsworth book, but it definitely won’t be my last. I quite enjoyed this fantasy story…even after a major twist half way through! I’m not doing any spoilers on what that twist is, so don’t even ask!… I dare you to read it and tell me you guessed it before you got to it. You’ll be lying. I’m going to have to keep this review short, because I’ve already given a couple spoilers, but since they are from … Read more

My Next Blog Stop for The Autumn Lands

by
Jamie Fessenden Blog

My friend Jamie Fessenden is hosting today’s blog tour stop for The Autumn Lands: Thanks for letting me stop by your blog to talk about The Autumn Lands, my latest novella that released yesterday from Mischief Corner Books. It’s the classic story of boy meets elf, boy and elf run away from village where boy grew up, jump into a river, cross through a forest and a bunch of hills, and end up somewhere neither one could ever have imagined. Jamie asked me to do something a little offbeat for this posting, so I cast my two lead characters. For … Read more

First Review for “The Autumn Lands”

by

It’s release day, and the first review of my novella “The Autumn Lands” has rolled in – four stars! Thanks Diane! 🙂 The Autumn Lands surprised me, in a most delightful way. Too often fantasy goes off the rails with overly dramatic attention to detail and a propensity to rely on character, plot and narrative tropes to assist in grounding the reader when suspension of disbelief is critical for service to Story. Not so here—at least not at the beginning. The setting and the characters are sketched in just enough to draw the reader in without forcing furrowed brows trying … Read more

“The Autumn Lands” Blog Tour Kicks Off

by
Drops of Ink

And we’re off! My first stand-alone print novella “The Autumn Lands” releases on Wednesday, and the blog tour started today with a stop at Anne Barwell’s blog, Drops of Ink: Like many of my stories, it started with the smallest germ of an idea. Back in the nineties, I tried to make a go of writing, and started a bunch of stories that I didn’t finish. One of these was a snippet about a gay kid running through his village after being kissed by another boy for the first time. I had just come out, and was exploring gay themes … Read more

Cover Reveal: The Autumn Lands

by
The Autumn Lands

Hey all, I am so thrilled to announce the cover (by the amazing Catherine Dair) for my novella The Autumn Lands. I am over the moon about this cover. 🙂 Jerrith is running. Kissed by an elf, he can’t remain in his hometown of Althos any more. Not that he wanted to stay. Caspian still hasn’t figured out why he kissed Jerrith, but he’s running too. Since he was exiled from the Autumn Lands, his past has been hazy, and his future uncertain. But when a stray memory brings things into focus, the two decide to run toward something together. … Read more
