There was this fire in my literary belly that came out of nowhere one day. I was editing another book (which I’ve lately gone back to continue editing) and just knew I had to drop EVERYTHING and start writing a dating book. I may be the worst person to ask relationship advice from, but then again, I’ve been through a lot of the crap people go through in “Dating Land.” Regardless of my qualifications, friends still come to me for advice. So much so that I joke about charging for my help.

So, I wrote a book instead. What resulted was TRANSMISSIONS FROM DATING LAND. It’s partially autobiographical, and partially fictional. It’s entertaining, and it’s informative. If you don’t want some straight line dating advice, then steer clear. But, if what you’re looking for is exactly that, then check it out. Go grab it from Amazon here.

… where the man you’ve known and only vaguely dated for about a week looks at you quite seriously and says, “I hope my four year old daughter that I never get to see grows up to be just like you.”

(I was only 21 years old at the time.)

“The dating tango goes like this.  You have to be brave enough to initiate things once in a while, but then you have to know when to back off.  Take a step forward, a step back.  If things are going well, your step back with coincide with his step forward, like a well-choreographed dance.  I hesitate to equate this to military tactics for the guys, because it sounds too forceful to call it an exchange between attack and retreat, but I know that men understand these terms, so it might be useful to look at things this way regardless of the gender of my reader.  Yet, the dating tango is much more subtle than that, because if there is any attacking, someone will be retreating fast.  Trust me.”
