Jess C. Scott rocks! Both an inventive multimedia artist and a savvy businesswoman, she’s a future force to be reckoned with in the publishing world. When I entered indie publishing world, Jess was my first friend and really helped me get started with unselfish advice. I love her writing and recommend all of it for mature readers. It’s not like anything you’ve read before — smooth and professional, with a postmodern kick — for connoisseurs of storytelling and people who care about love.
Hi Matt — thanks for your super kind comments — glad some of my advice was helpful too 🙂
I need to “disappear” soon to clean up The Darker Side of Life (the first draft is an absolute train wreck). Will look out for your projects and stuff on FB!
