Books with author Scott Jacobs

In essence this book has always been in existence. People intrigue me, melancholy inspires me, storms captivate me. My parents gave me a rather unconventional upbringing--a life that granted me the freedom to wake up and see where the day might take me. In retrospect this was the catalyst which led to self exploration and my awareness of self and others. As a teen, I was introduced to the theory of psychoanalysis provoking me to dive even deeper into the human condition. I spent my teenage years writing short stories and believing Jackson Browne was magic. Photographs extend this exploration

Journey to Love is a true story about friendship, romance and sex. Set over the course of five eventful years and divided into three parts, it is an unimpeded and unashamedly honest insight into a young man’s struggles and successes in work, love and sexual frustration.Laugh at the honest self-appraisals with a knowing nod to having shared those same experiences. If you cannot empathise with the author, you are probably young enough to learn from his mistakes and commit his advice to memory. This memoir contains some strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Not recommend for young children.

Jack and Liam, fed up with kiss-my-arse bosses and nose-to-nipple commutes, quit their jobs and move to a small town in Turkey. Join the culture-curious gay couple on their bumpy rite of passage in a Muslim country. Meet the oddballs, VOMITs, vetpats, emigreys, semigreys, debauched waiters and middle England miseries. When bigotry and ignorance emerge from the crude underbelly of Turkey's expat life, Jack and Liam waver. Determined to stay the course, the happy hedonistas hitch up their skirts, move to the heart of liberal Bodrum and fall in love with their intoxicating foster land. Enter Jack's irreverent world for a right royal dose of misery and joy, bigotry and enlightenment, betrayal and loyalty, friendship, love, earthquakes, birth, adoption and a senseless murder. Perking the Pansies will make you laugh out loud one minute and sob into your crumpled tissue the next.
