Rainbow Snippet – Ithani

by
Ithani

This is from Chapter 18 of Ithani, and is freshly written. 🙂 Wait! We have no time. We have time for this. He was inside Jameson this time, connected to him in a primal way. They moved as one, passion rising as they passed through one another, connected in the dreamtime down to the last fiber of their beings. They rose on the tide of climax, fixed on one another, and it was as good—no, better—than sex had ever been in the flesh. As he reached the height, Xander moaned, and Jameson matched him, their voices rising together in a … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Keeping Out the World

by
Scott - Rise

I’m in a weird place this week. That sentence could have been written in almost any of the weeks of the last fifteen months. The world has gone strange on us, as frightening news and bile and threats and unhinged behavior seem to be running rampant. A large percentage of my fellow Americans seem to live in a world entirely different from my own, and while this has always been true, I’ve never felt so under seige by that world as I do today. It has beaten me down. I don’t want to run away. I want to be strong … Read more

Kethric Wilcox

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, Kethric Wilcox – Kethric began writing and publishing as a personal challenge to be creative in a new medium. He was attracted to the LGBT Romance genre after reading several paranormal romances where it seemed like the shape-shifters never faced dangers outside the relationship issues thrown at them by their authors. Thus was born the shifter hunting House of Beauty on the premise of a twisted fairy tale. Thanks so much, Kethric, … Read more

New Amazing Review for “Lander”

by
Lander Cover

I just got the most fricking amazing review for “Lander” from Amy Leibowitz Mitchell:   “All in all, this was a fantastic read. I’m definitely going to pick up the first book before the third one is out so I can have everything sorted about the plot. I can’t wait to see where this goes next time. For gender equality, excellent world-building, pacing, and plot, and a fantastic sequel that can be read on its own, this gets 10/10 fountain pens.”   OMG. 🙂   http://amleibowitz.com/2018/02/21/review-lander-by-j-scott-coatsworth/   Have you gotten your copy yet?

POINT OF VIEW: Looking Forward

by
The Nether

We have a great local theater here called the Capital Stage that often puts on speculative fiction plays. Their 2018 season, in fact, is called “Future Tense.” We just went to see the latest, a dark play called “The Nether,” by Jennifer Haley. The nether is sort of a bleak futuristic version of the dark web plus the internet, a virtual playground where more and more folks are spending the majority of their lives, or even becoming “shades” – people who are hooked up to life support in the real world so they can spend all of their time in … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Connected

by
Joyce Peterson

Today would have been Joyce Peterson’s 100th Birthday. Joyce was my grandmother on my mother’s side, and she passed away six years ago at the age of 94. She was an amazing woman, gifted and beautiful. I always thought she looked a little like Cabbot Cove’s Jessica Fletcher, but unlike Angela Lansbury’s most famous character, she didn’t leave a path of dead bodies and mystery in her wake. What she did leave was a legacy. My grandmother was a very creative person, like much of my family. She painted and sketched and made all kinds of art – her hand … Read more
