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)..."
-- P.T. / Chesapeake, OH, April 2012

Excerpt:

The following two quotes summarize my belief in the need for high-quality erotic literature that deals with sexuality in an enriching, authentic way:

(1) ". . .it is vital for good erotica to be published, so that we can see for ourselves the difference between the life-enhancing, and the sordid and destructive."

~ From Erotica: An Illustrated Anthology of Sexual Art and Literature, by Charlotte Hill and William Wallace

(2) "Real sex is the sort our culture and most mass media propaganda don't recognize: not that intercourse, or masturbation, or genital kisses aren't real sex, but some other things are real sex too, which people need, but which don't excite our time and age."

~ From The Joy of Sex, by Dr. Alex Comfort

    Title is misleading

    Almost nothing in this book is about the art of writing erotica. It's mainly a defense of erotica sprinkled with criticism of 50 Shades of Grey. Most of the text seems to be excerpts from the authors blog. The rest is a list of the authors own works and reasons why you should buy those books. Thankfully it was only $0.99.
