Description

The year is 1934, and amiable New York gag writer Artie Plask has taken the West Coast plunge. His first day on staff with a top radio show introduces him to the irresistible Mariel Fenton, a wit among wits who immediately takes an interest in all aspects of Artie's life—especially his private life. As Artie finds his feet in a world of blustering comedians, pansexual sex goddesses, timid screen legends, exhibitionistic scriptwriters, and self-infatuated geniuses, Mariel leads him on a zany journey up and down the pleasure dial—a giddy romp through Hollywood that's chock-full of airwaves showdowns, writing-room counterplots, devious impersonations, naked meetings, and a sensuality-drenched assortment of erotic escapades.

News & Reviews

• Jeremy can write sex.  Delectable, naughty, and unbelievably arousing sex. He does it often. The Pleasure Dial is full of it. Despite how lust-inspiring his sex scenes are, though, I found myself rushing through (but never skipping, heavens no!) the sex scenes to find out what wacky, hilarious, delightful thing his characters were going to do next.
  —Madeline Elayne, author
• This is a clever and very funny book. As usual, I read it in bed; I kept laughing out loud and interrupting my husband to read him another “good bit”. At the same time, the effort Mr. Edwards invested in research is obvious on every page. Nineteen thirties Hollywood really comes alive.
  —Lisabet Sarai, Beyond Romance
  
  
• Fans of Jeremy Edwards' erotic tales are sure to enjoy this expertly-paced romp through the glamorous world of 1930's Hollywood. You'll find Edwards' signature witty repartee, an unfettered celebration of sensual pleasure, and plenty of clever twists in a story that evokes the screwball comedies of the golden age.
  —Donna George Storey, author of Amorous Woman

  —Joshua Gage, OystersandChocolate.com
  
  
• “Sex-positive and upbeat ... hurtles along at the unmissable pace of a Buster Keaton car chase.... [Edwards] knows how to tell a story that excites and entertains and his fiction is never less than a must-read.”
  —Ashley Lister, Erotica Readers & Writers Association

• "I feel very positive about writing erotic literature," Edwards says. "I like what I'm doing and there's nothing wrong with it. Just the opposite, actually. Sexual expression is a healthy thing."
