As a new year starts, here's a reminder that you can get my books nearly everywhere ebooks are sold. Except on the zon, because they suck.

The best place to buy is direct from me. You can put in a request to your local library too!

"The only thing wrong with this book is that it ended. Coatsworth has produced a rich mélange of sci-fi and fantasy, creating the world of Tharassas and its denizens with vivid detail... 5 stars." -Ulysses, Liminal Fiction
