HFAAC: Introducing J Anderson Coats and SPINDLE AND DAGGER
By Writer Unboxed | March 25, 2020 |
Welcome to the latest video in our “Helping Fellow Authors in the Age of COVID-19″ (HFAAC) series! Today we’re profiling J Anderson Coats and her new release, SPINDLE AND DAGGER.
What I most appreciate about this video is that J Anderson shares with us how survival became thematic in her story. She has both lived the life of a survivor and thought deeply about it as a reader. Many thanks to her for sharing so deeply, and for being with us today.
Please help spread the word for J Anderson Coats by directing folks to this video, to her website, or to any book online book retailer.
Comments are open for questions and a show of community support! And though we have included a longer book preview below that includes a buy link to Amazon, this is an ideal time to wholeheartedly support functioning indie outlets.
Writer Unboxed began as a collaboration between Kathleen Bolton and Therese Walsh in 2006. Since then, the site has grown to include ~50 regular contributors and a variety of guests on rotation throughout a given year.
In 2016, the Writer Unboxed team published a book with Writer’s Digest / Random House. AUTHOR IN PROGRESS: A No-Holds-Barred Guide to What It Really Takes to Get Published is a comprehensive guide focused on helping writers over/around/through hurdles faced at every stage of the novel-writing process. It’s received some ***** reviews; we hope you’ll check it out.
If you’d like to be among the first to know about the next Writer Unboxed UnConference, which will likely tie-in with WU’s 20th Anniversary celebration, please sign up for our mailing list!

Thank you for opening your heart to us. Like others just now, I’m looking for a path through the dark woods, and your story is like a lamppost shining before my feet.
Congratulations on your book. I love that it’s based on a real event and set in Wales. I imbibed the Welsh legends long before Lord of the Rings. I’m looking forward to reading your book.
Like Barbara, I was very touched by your story and open spirit, Jillian. I also applaud your highlighting important topics like these for a younger generation. Wishing you much success.
SPINDLE AND DAGGER is such a wonderful book! It takes us to some very dark places but also lets us witness a young woman surviving and finding her own path. Jillian, thank you for this moving interview, and thank you for writing stories that are so intelligent and so full of heart, both at once.
