Woman in the making. Companion. Assassin. Holly is all of them, and more. Los Angeles, 2031: Robotics engineers create Holly, a female android nearly indistinguishable from humans. Sent out into the world on a field trial as a housekeeper, but programmed with secret and deadly skills even she is unaware of, Holly shocks her creators by becoming self-aware, and begins to manifest the deepest human emotions. Seeking only love and companionship, Holly is unconcerned with the firestorm of ethical dilemmas her independent consciousness creates. But as a deadly plague collapses the world around her, the talents of an assassin, buried deep in encrypted files, begin to surface. Will she use them to save or to destroy? With a price on her head as she searches for the deadly foe responsible for the plague, Holly begins to realize that "something terrible is awakening within me".The Electric Woman confronts issues that may soon face us as we create machines ever more like ourselves. Sooner rather than later, we may find we share our world with machines indistinguishable from human. If that day comes, troublesome ethical issues may arise: Who will own them? What rights might they have? What will happen to them when they have outlived their usefulness? The Electric Woman explores these issues, set against a poignant love story, as Holly, unlike any machine before her, experiences love, tragedy, loneliness, and the pain of loss.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Please note that I have changed my pen name from B J Scott to JAMES SCOTT. This was done partly to avoid confusion with other authors who used B J Scott as their pen name.

I call my series of historical novels "Tales of Strong Women", and a common thread running through all of my books is that the stories are built around strong, courageous women—women who, in the words of one reviewer, "want men in their lives but don't need them to succeed". If you like stories of women who back down from no one, who are bold but sometimes hot-tempered, prone to attracting trouble but ultimately triumphant, these books are for you.

I'm an author who likes to both entertain and educate. I've had great fun over the years learning about westward expansion, mining, sailing ships, locomotives, and B-17 bombers. The feedback I get from my readers tells me they've enjoyed it too. I write from small ideas that grow organically into big ones. Plot ideas form barely in advance of my "pen", making the creative process an exciting discovery. Sometimes I have only a faint idea of what the next page will bring. But it works! The comment I hear most often from readers is, "I couldn't put it down!" I hope you'll take a trip into high adventure with my books soon.

I hold Bachelor's degrees from Washington State University and Brooks Institute of Photography. And I'm proud of my Irish, Scottish, and Scandinavian ancestry!

    I haven’t done a “book report” in years but have to say that I started this book and couldn’t put it down. The character development from “Naïve and innocent” to learning and questioning conflicting morals and situations was convincing and realistic. Fast paced and very enjoyable. Look forward to more!

    The sample made me want to read the entire book. There was difficulty ordering anything but the sample with my iPhone 4s. Finally ordered (I think) from my laptop and look forward to reading Scott's latest book.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018
    Format: Paperback
    One of the best books I have encountered lately is James Scott’s The Electric Woman. James Scott writes about strong women, and I’ve enjoyed reading every one of his novels. The one I keep re-reading is The Electric Woman. In it, the robot “Holly” is not only a strong character, but she becomes a gigantic challenge to her creators, to the men in her life, to the world into which she is sent, to herself, and to the reader.
    Holly is a beautiful soft-fleshed (feels human to the touch) robot without a belly button. Having no navel emphasizes the fact that Holly was created in a laboratory for specific purposes. Humans face huge challenges in this world of ours, and so does the dynamic Holly.!
