The Great North

by J. Scott Coatsworth

Overview

Dwyn is a young man in the small, isolated northern town of Manicouga, son of the Minstor, and betrothed to marry the beautiful Kessa in just a few weeks.

Mael is shepherding the remains of his own people from Land's End, a village much farther north, chased out by a terrible storm that destroyed the town.

Both are trying to find their way in a post-apocalyptic world. When they meet, their love may change the world, and the course of history.

About the Author

Scott lives with his husband Mark in a yellow bungalow in Sacramento. He was indoctrinated into fantasy and sci fi by his mother at the tender age of nine. He devoured her library, but as he grew up, he wondered where all the people like him were.

He decided that if there weren’t queer characters in his favorite genres, he would remake them to his own ends.

A Rainbow Award winning author, he runs Queer Sci Fi, QueeRomance Ink, and Other Worlds Ink with Mark, sites that celebrate fiction reflecting queer reality, and is the committee chair for the Indie Authors Committee at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

Editorial Reviews

Loved the setting. The author is flawless at world-building. Everything is flawless... I also love the way fantasy, science fiction and dystopia are seamlessly integrated. The writing style reminds me of Madeleine L'Engle in that regard... I have a soft spot for retold fairy tales, and this one delivers. The novella is unusual in placing it in a post-apocalyptic world, which I think is brilliant.
