J. Scott Coatsworth, Author<p>Periodically, I feature one of my backlist titles you might have missed. Today: Flames:</p><p>"This is such a beautiful, poignant story. I cried. It is written in mainly Alex's view as he tries to see Gio, bring him out of a coma and get through the tragedy. Then there are small sections in Gio's view in his darkness and light and how he finds Alex again. I absolutely loved this style and the story is brilliant." --Cathy Brockman</p><p><a href="https://www.otherworldsink.com/book/flames/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">otherworldsink.com/book/flames</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.otherworldsink.com/tags/Backlist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Backlist</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.otherworldsink.com/tags/MagicalRealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MagicalRealism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.otherworldsink.com/tags/GayRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GayRomance</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.otherworldsink.com/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a></p>

QueeRomance Ink<p>Jay reviews "Fragile as Glass" by Pat Henshaw:</p><p>"A delightful short story that deals with issues such as disability and attitudes to it.

DreamscapesThis is the lighthouse of Getaria, Basque country in northern Spain, west of San Sebastian.<br> <br> The series of artworks titled "Hope" are inspired by rugged landscapes where the feeling of freedom is maximally expressed. During the Covid lockdowns, I often thought about the beautiful areas where I felt happy because I immersed myself in nature and left the 'rat race' behind. I hoped to have the opportunity again to travel freely to areas where I wouldn't be consumed by my mobile phone and computer, and traffic noise. By disconnecting from everything, I experience contentment and happiness.
