Point of View: Writing With Someone Else (and a Cover Reveal!)

Office of the Lost - J. Scott Coatsworth & Kim Fielding

I have a new release coming out, something I wrote with one of my dearest writing friends, Kim Fielding. Office of the Lost releases on June 21st. Universal Buy Link From the foreword: I first met Kim almost a decade ago, when I launched the Queer Sacramento Authors Collective with two local author friends.

Review: Love & Limitations

Just got a great review of Love & Limitations from Jim Comer. 🙂 Get It On Amazon Love and Limitations is a collection of short stories, romantically themed, which feature gay and trans men. There is not a unifying theme or characters; each stands on its own. Coatsworth is known as a writer of fantastic literature, much of it SF-themed, but these stories are mundane in their settings. “I Only Want To Be With You” is a more-or-less vanilla holiday romance, but “The Boy In The Band” relies on Coatsworth’s knowledge of Arizona, where he lived for many years, and his … Read more
