The Manual

Red roses on Valentine's Day, a dinner out when another anniversary rolls around, and occasional scheduled sex (if any) — that's about what a lot of couples' romantic excursions amount to. Busy, stressed and preoccupied with careers, children and domestic duties, romance takes a back seat. In many cases it's retired altogether, classified as short-lived, and believed to face inevitable decline as the years go by.

"Romance Unscrewed: The Manual" creates a different story. Drawing from my work as a couples therapist, a deep dive into the history of romance, and my personal experience as Cupid's consort, "The Manual" is your detailed reference to the 21 Power Screws and a fail-proof, heroic love paradigm for enduring deep and passionate monogamous connection. It includes a wealth of ideas and practical strategies to release old relationship programs, adopt a new perception of what's possible, and keep your desire for each other urgent.

A failproof, heroic new love paradigm...

Selected Poetry

Coming soon! Captured on the tongue of poetry, "A Kiss Everlast" is a collection of romantic professions and turn ons exchanged between myself and my lover. For the first three years of our (ongoing) romantic courtship, we unleashed a storm of poetry onto each other, on average one poem a day. Their summons made up for the lack of being in each other’s presence (and still does). "A Kiss Everlast" pulls the best from thousands we've written to each other over the past decade, evoking the memory of legendary lovers throughout history.
