BLOG TOUR: Foothills Pride V2, by Pat Henshaw

by
Foothills Pride V2

One of my favorite people, Pat Henshaw, is stopping by today! The second half of Pat Henshaw’s Foothills Pride series is finally coming out in print – four of her stories in one volume: During the recession at the beginning of the 21st century, many gays and lesbians moved from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento to the Sierra Foothills. FLAG (Foothills Lesbians and Gays) was formed. This series was written for them. The influx of San Francisco Bay Area gays is now commonplace in Stone Acres, California. But that means big city problems—much to the dismay of long-time … Read more

Another Great A More Perfect Union Review

by
Noah Willoughby

Author Noah Willoughby reviews Flames and the anthology A More Perfect Union: On AMPU: The anthology is very well-compiled and well-written. Though all stories are fictional, each one has clearly put true-to-life experiences into their stories. The main characters and how they relate to one another and react to the situations around them shows that each author has put a piece of himself into their story. While all the stories are different, they follow the same theme: love is love. The same theme rings true for this whole anthology. I highly recommend this one! ​ Rating: 4.5 stars On Flames: … Read more

Interview: Tim Parks

by
Tim Parks

Author and new friend of mine Tim Parks stopped by my blog for a special interview and book announcement. 🙂 Thanks so much, Tim, for joining me! J. Scott Coatsworth: When did you first start writing, and why? Tim Parks: I started writing stories when I was five. My mom would drive me to kindergarten class early, so I could write stories about Gumby and Pokey with my teacher Mrs. Treadwell looking on. I had an insatiable imagination and was always asking “what if?” Writing became an avenue for quenching that thirst, of creating scenarios that were primarily pop culture-based … Read more

4.5 Stars for Myths Untold: Faery

by
Anne Barwell

Just got another great review for Myths Untold: Faery, which includes one of my stories: For the whole antho: I’d recommend Myths Untold: Faery to readers who like anthologies which share a common theme but tell very different stories. 4.5 out of 5 stars. For my story, Through the Veil: Through the Veil by J. Scott Coatsworth sucked me in with the first couple of paragraphs and didn’t let go until the end. The world building in this story is fabulous, and very easy to visualise. It paints a very grim picture of a dystopian future, but despite that there are good people, … Read more

Two More Stops on the “A More Perfect Union” Blog Tour

by
Andrew Q. Gordon

Today we’re stopping by two more stops for the AMPU tour: First off, my friend Andrew Q. Gordon is hosting me at his place: I just reached the end of a long journey, one that started in 1989, two years before I came out to my friends and family. That year, I attended my first gay wedding. It wasn’t so much a wedding, though, as a furtive ceremony between two gay men, held in a stand of bamboo at the Huntington Museum, surrounded protectively by three friends. Back then, the idea of two guys getting married was almost unthinkable. We … Read more
