excellent writing.

Hi Jess,
I read Seven Deadly Sins: Book 1 The Intern (Lust) and as I wrote on Amazon, I loved it. It was comedic, fun and real. I decided to check out your website after talking in a forum and I saw that I also read The Devlin Fey! I’m off to go download Wicked Lovely!
I’m anxiously awaiting the SINS(2) and also your cyberpunk elves series, you’re one busy woman! And, incredibly talented. Kudos to you! I’m glad I found your work!

Hi Kristi,
Thanks for your kind comments! I hope I don’t disappoint :P — I’d like to maintain the “comedic, fun and real” element throughout the rest of the series. Have worked out a rough outline for Sins 07 / Book #2 — I hope to get started on it early next year. Currently battling the remaining Fall 2010 assignments (just about halfway through).
I think the cyberpunk elves (book #1) is about 38%-polished. I usually like to spend some time “making sure everything looks right,” before deciding it’s good to go :)

I am so unhappy with Amazon about their arbitrary actions that I went to Smashwords and bought a bunch of books by you and some of the other banned authors. I am intrigued by your cyberpunk elves…can’t wait until you feel it is ready.

Hi leonard,
Thanks for your interest in/support of our work — it is much appreciated! Amazon has done this in the past (with GLBT-themed books)…so I don’t know if they’ll place the blame on another “technical glitch,” sometime later in the year.
I’m on the last 3 chapters of the cyberpunk elves book — should be able to complete by Feb/March 2011 ^^. I’ve an incubus one free for one week, though it’s more alternative than the elves one (more info @ http://twitter.com/jesscscott/statuses/23112805561401344).
