Point of View: Why I Write
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
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…
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

More Stops on the Mighty Blog Tour
OK, today is release day, and I’m popping up all over the place. First off – Garrett Leigh’s great blog: Thanks, Garrett! Then there are the great folks at the Novel Approach: And my guest post at Inked Rainbow Reads, with the first Five Star review of the book: This was short enough I read it in about an hour. It’s a fun read with a bit of humor, a bit of drama, and a bit of magic. I loved the snappy dialog and the smooth writing style. I’ll admit, I didn’t like either Brad or Sam at first. But … Read more
Release Date!
It’s finally here! My very first stand-alone work, Between the Lines, is out. It’s hard to believe – it’s been a long time coming. I wrote my first story in fourth or fifth grade. by high school, I was working on a novel, and was sure that I was gonna be the next big thing in Fantasy and Sci Fi. Then a bunch of rejections, a coming out, and life in general intervened. Years went by. In my twenties, I tried again. And quit. In my thirties I tried yet again. And quit. But some people always believed in me. … Read more
