Today I’m fortunate to have a new friend stop by the Land of Make Believe. For those who don’t know J. Scott Coatsworth (Scott to most everyone) he is the driving force behind the Hoard’s effort to take over the world. 😉 In more layman’s term, the “Hoard” is the affectionate name for the authors in the Queer Sci-Fi group that Scott created and has shepherded along for some time. I was lucky to meet Scott at Rainbow Con in July and he is every bit as energetic and visionary as he appears on line. So with that, I’m pleased to be able to present an exclusive excerpt from his latest release The Homecoming. Make sure to read through to the …

Blurb High school senior Kalin (Lennon) Macready knows several facts for certain: John Lennon is his hero. Beaumont Finley Danforth (Fin) is his best friend. And—this is the complicated one—he feels more for Fin than mere friendship. For weeks, Lennon pesters Fin, who like Lennon admits to questioning his sexual orientation, for a commitment to spend twenty-four hours together exploring “the gay side of life.” Fin reluctantly agrees. Each boy will seek to answer the daunting question, Am I gay? Lennon pre-plans the day, filling the hours with what he assumes “gay life” is all about: shopping for fashionable clothing, indulging in lavish dessert crepes, boogying to Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off”, and yes, listening to show tunes. However, Lennon …

As they struggle for the stone, she activates it, and Morgorth is unwillingly plunged into another time and another place. It isn’t long before he realizes what time he’s found himself in …
