COVER REVEAL/GIVEAWAY: Contact, by M.D. Neu

by

My friend M.D. Neu has a new queer sci fi book coming out – Contact – and I get to be one of the first to share the cover! A little blue world, the third planet from the sun. It’s home to seven billion people—with all manner of faiths, beliefs, and customs, divided by bigotry and misunderstanding—who will soon be told they are not alone in the universe. Anyone watching from the outside would pass by this fractured and tumultuous world, unless they had no other choice. Todd Landon is one of these people, living and working in a section … Read more

Novel Approach Reviewer Chooses “Lander” as One of the Best of 2018

by

Just got word that Lindsey at the Novel Approach chose “Lander” as one of her fave books of 2018 – what an honor: Lander by J. Scott Coatsworth – I love a good sci-fi and high fantasy combination. It’s not an easy win for me, though. The world building has to be just right,with the fantasy and technology intertwined clearly enough for me to keep up with what is happening and not get lost. The plot still must be complex enough to keep me interested. Skythane, the first book in The Oberon Cycle, did just that. I couldn’t wait to catch up with Xander and Jameson … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Reflection

by

It’s almost the end of the year, and so I wanted to take a moment to reflect on and be thankful for some of the things that keep me going, even when it seems like the world might be ending. So here we go, in no particular order. Waking up next to Mark each morning. Just seeing him makes me happy, even after 26 years together. He just fits with me. My family, especially my Mom and Dad, who never stop believing that I could be the next J.K. Rowling, even when it seems more likely I’ll be the next … Read more

POINT OF VIEW; What a Difference a Week Makes

by
scott - happy juice

Last week I was at a bit of a low ebb, bemoaning how difficult it was to market your work on social media and in the publishing world. This week, none of that has changed. Facebook still makes it hard to get your posts out there without tons of money, and Amazon… well, the Zon is still the Zon. And yet it was a good week. I sent in my final book of my second trilogy – “The Shoreless Sea,” to the publisher. And I’ve started my evil plan to storm the SFWA (Sci Fi Writer’s Association) – or “siffwah”, … Read more
