Mischief Corner Books Quarterly V2 is Out – And I’m In It!

by
MCB Quarterly

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

by
MCB Quarterly 2

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.

The Blog Tour for “The Homecoming” Rolls On

by
cate Ashwood Blog

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):

Point of View: Why I Write

by

Hey all, I just started this blog about a month ago, and I’m gradually figuring out what I want to do with it. I’m planning to start posting a personal column once a week, on Mondays – about me, who I am as a writer and a person, what I’m working on, and what motivates me to be a writer. I thought I’d start out with why I write. I’ve been an avid reader since I was a little child. When I was in my early elementary school years, growing up in Tucson, Arizona, my Mom started be on the … Read more

Author Spotlight: Anastasia Vitsky

by
Anastasia Vitsky

Today I’m launching a new feature on my blog – the Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. My first one, Anastasia (Ana) Vitsky, is an amazing FF writer who also heads up our monthly FF takeover on the Queer Sci Fi Facebook page. Thanks so much, Ana, for kicking things off! I was stumped how to answer some of Scott’s questions, so I asked my readers how they would do it. Here are their answers, followed by my responses. J. Scott Coatsworth: How … Read more

New Review of Between the Lines…

by
Rainbow Book Reviews

From Lena Grey at Rainbow Book Reviews: This is a brief but well written love story about two men working in politics, but with different outlooks; for Sam it’s just an internship, but for Brad, it’s where his future lies, despite some of the party’s attitudes being in conflict with his beliefs. Brad is still idealistic enough to think he can make a difference, even though the Republican party’s ideals have shifted from governing and into bargains, bribes, and donations. The medallion is an excellent way to show Brad where he is in life, rather than where he hopes to … Read more
