Divine Magazine Loves Skythane

by
Skythane

This just in… and wow. *cries a little* Debbie Attenborough at Divine Magazine just posted a great five star review of Skythane: “The story flows like a river, from its source, getting faster and faster, deeper and wider until…. well, until it reaches the sea! There is no massive info dump that you sometimes get in this sort of story, it comes in drips, so you can process each drip before you get the next one. Or in my case, many times through this book, you can pull a face at the kindle and ” say what now???” when you … Read more

Another Great Skythane Review

by
Skythane

More Skythane reviews are rolling in: The fantastic Molly Lolly loves Skythane, and also has a special extra scene I wrote just for her: “Oh man this book was good. I truly enjoyed the world Mr. Coatsworth created. There was so much world building that pulled me into the place and made me feel like I was there… The world built in this story is expansive. I completely got lost in all of the places, scenery, and problems facing everyone… THAT ENDING THOUGH! There was a definitive sense of hope at the end of the last chapter. You knew there was more … Read more

Point of View: Some More Good News

scott-good-news

It was a good week. Mostly. First of all, “Skythane” arrived at my doorstep in the form of a small box of print copies from Dreamspinner. I love opening boxes with my new books inside, and this one was extra special – my first novel. And the good reviews keep coming in. 🙂 Then came the next bit of good news. My novel “Liminal Sky” was just picked up for publication in October by DSP Publications.  “Liminal Sky” is an epic sci fi tale with a number of queer characters, about the launch of mankind’s first generation ship built to travel … Read more

Bronwyn Heeley

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. Today, Bronwyn Heeley stops by my hot seat! Thanks so much, Bronwyn, for joining me! J. Scott Coatsworth: Tell me one thing hardly anyone knows about you. Bronwyn Heeley: I fear heights, not really something I don’t mention, but I’m actually scared of manmade highs, I could stand on the edge of a cliff and not have a problem, but you put up a rail and I’m terrified. Elevators with glass….bridges… scaffolding… the … Read more

More Skythane Reviews!

Skythane

They just keep coming in. 😛 First off, from Alicia Nordwell: “I think the cover of Skythane (which is absolutely gorgeous) pretty much sets the stage for the story. There’s a strong fantasy element, sexy men, and a setting of space/alternate planets…. I loved the threads of similarity between Jameson and Xander. It comes out in vastly different ways, but they have so many of the same wants and needs. In the end, their growing relationship was my favorite part of the story, just edging out the wonderfully descriptive settings J. Scott Coatsworth created.” See the full review here. Boy Meets … Read more

Another 4.75* Skythane Review

by
Skythane

OK, the reviews keep rolling in. 🙂 This first one actually published on Friday, but I didn’t find it until this morning – from Teresa at Prism Book Alliance: “What an awesome start to a new series! I loved the world and its characters… Xander, Jameson, and Quince all have parts to play in this tale. It was great getting to know more about them. I loved seeing both Jameson and Xander grow as individuals… Although it is not listed as a series, the book ends with one chapter of the saga completed and a teaser for more. I can’t wait to … Read more

Point of View: Through the Looking Glass

A week ago, I was freaking out. My new book “Skythane” was about to come out, and a combination of a story rejection and a potential bad review had me pulling out my hair. After all, it’s not every week you celebrate your first novel, and it turns out that can come with a lot of stress. How a week can change things. The book released on Friday to a torrent of great reviews (thank you, one and all), and while it’s too soon to tell how sales will go, I’m in a whole better place this week than last. And … Read more

Today in Skythane Reviews

by
Skythane

A new 4.5 star rating from Mari at Bayou Book Junkie: “I like to read a little bit of everything, mix it up a bit, so to speak, historical, contemporary, even the occasional BDSM or MF book. However, Sci-Fi and fantasy are perhaps the ones I read the least, mostly because I can be a tad particular with them since it takes real talent to build worlds like you need to do in this genre. Scott Coatsworth did a fantastic job with that in this novel! He created a world that felt relatable and added just enough detail and description to … Read more

Pat Henshaw - Foothills Pride

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. Today, Pat Henshaw – Pat is practically my neighbor her in Sacramento, but we had to go all the way to Florida – to last year’s Dreamspinner Retreat – to meet in person. Now we see each other much more regularly, something for which I am thankful for. Thanks so much, Pat, for joining me! J. Scott Coatsworth: Tell me about a unique or quirky habit of yours. Pat Henshaw: This isn’t so much a habit … Read more

The Skythane reviews continue to roll in: First off, Diane at Hearts on Fire: “This is a fantastic story – and the first in the Oberon series – which is good since the book ended with a couple of twists with the characters! …The story has elements of mystery, an action adventure story, multiple worlds and an unseen power that could be getting unstable even if many dismiss it as mere superstition. The characters are well written, with a story that starts out steady, but moves to a faster pace once all the parts and characters seem to be in … Read more
