Jamie Fessenden Delves Deep in “Violated”
Jamie Fessenden has a brand new work out today. Titled “Violated”, it delves deep into the psyche of a man who has been wounded by abuse, and how he heals afterward. Amazon Buy Link | Dreamspinner Buy Link – Save 35% What It’s About Derek Sawyer thinks he has it all—a high-salaried position, a boyfriend, a dog, even a new cabin on the lake—until a business trip with his manager and best friend, Victor, shatters his world. One night of drunken horsing around in their hotel room leads to the most intensely personal violation Derek has ever endured. As if the … Read more
Four Diamond Review for “Between the Lines”
From Exquisite Reviews: This was a short read but it definitely delivered and kept you wanting more. I wanted to read more from J. Scott Coatsworth since reading his short story in the Candle in the Dark: Anthology. This was a fresh take for me and I enjoyed the book but I was disappointed that it wasn’t longer. J. Scott has a way of writing characters that make you want to read their minds. I know I am selfish in wanting more from him, but I really want him to write a full book. His writing style doesn’t call for … Read more
Another Blog Tour Stop…
I stopped by Melanie Marshall‘s blog to answer a few questions yesterday, including: Are you a full-time writer? Oh, I wish. I have so many ideas I want to explore. But my husband Mark and I run our own little internet company, and that takes most of our time. I do try to sneak in an hour or hour and a half to write each day.

Mischief Corner Books Quarterly V2 is Out – And I’m In It!
It’s here, it’s here! I have a brand new story, “Translation”, in the new second edition of the Mischief Corner Books Quarterly! Four great stories (and more) for just Four Bucks. You can find it at MCB here: And at Amazon here. Here’s an exclusive excerpt from my story: “Rico,” someone said, shaking his shoulder. “Rico, wake up.” “What?” Enrico said, turning over. He always slept naked, and as his eyes flickered open, he was surprised to see Dominic. He pulled the sheets up over himself, strangely self-conscious. It’s not like he hasn’t seen it before. “I’m sorry,” Dominic said. … Read more
Angel Martinez Reads from “Translation” in the MCB Quarterly
It’s coming, it’s coming!!!! The MCB Quarterly’s summer edition will be out in a couple days, and I’ll be in it! I sent in a short story called “Translation”, my first set in NYC, about a copy writer who has it bad for his Italian boss. It was an opportunity to put a little of my Italian to work in a story – don’t worry, it’s not overwhelming at all if you don’t know the language. But it’s also a great little MM romance with a twist. I’ll say no more. Listen to the reading here (thanks Angel!): http://angelmartinezauthor.weebly.com/the-blog-erotic-fiction-for-the-hungry-mind/story-time-with-angel-mcb-quarterly-translation-by-j-scott-coatsworth And … Read more
The Blog Tour for “The Homecoming” Rolls On
Another stop today: The amazing and talented Cate Ashwood just hosted me for an interview on her blog. Cate: Do you find the sex scenes easy or hard to write? Scott: Sex scenes are easy. Making them interesting and meaningful is hard. I don’t like using sex in a story unless it advances the plot, but when it does, it also has to make the reader go “oooh”, not “eeew.” I’m also a big fan of “fade to black” Read more here (click the pic):
