REVIEWS:
"Dear Jess, I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your writing: your writing reflects something genuine, something real, about our generation that few writers have had the talent or the courage to uncover. Thank you."
-- Reader/Customer Email, 2010
"[The Devilin Fey] was erotic without being pornographic, emotional without being sappy, spiritual without being preachy…just enjoyable reading. Kudos to Jess C Scott."
-- Paul G. / Amazon review (unsolicited), July 2010
"Just read Real Love Versus Romance...loved the ideas & compilation of ideas...great!! :) i agreed with many of the points of how romance has been commercialized for effect instead of portraying the actual depth of true romance...i roll my eyes at what is considered "love stories" nowadays...even being a guy (haha), i can appreciate a story that portrays real love & shows depth in what romance is (means)..."

EXCERPT [Introduction]:
. . .Incubi and succubi are fascinating paranormal beings. For those of you unfamiliar with the terms, here's a quick definition:
* Incubus: An evil spirit supposed to descend upon and have sexual intercourse with women as they sleep.
* Succubus: A female demon fabled to have sexual intercourse with sleeping men.
All of us experience love, sex, and romance to some degree or other, with the relationships we're involved in throughout the course of our lives.
There are certain elements which tend to feature in stories in the occult and folklore/mythology genre. There are usually some kind of rituals involved, and perhaps some sorcery in which a person can engage the "demons" in the story (which brings to mind TV shows like Charmed).
I might explore those situations in future, though I left them out in this initial collection of incubus and succubus stories. I wanted to ground the stories in a contemporary and realistic setting. I find it captivating when I wake up some mornings feeling a sense of 'hauntedness', like as if I couldn't tell for sure whether the strangers in my dreams at night were people and events that had really occurred in real life. . .
