Book Description
For the 70 percent of couples who have been affected by extramarital affairs, this is the only book to offer proven strategies for surviving the crisis and rebuilding the relationship –– written by a nationally known therapist considered an expert on infidelity.
When I was 15, I was raped. That was nothing compared to your affair. The rapist was a stranger; you, I thought, were my best friend.
There is nothing quite like the pain and shock caused when a partner has been unfaithful. The hurt partner often experiences a profound loss of self–respect and falls into a depression that can last for years. For the relationship, infidelity is often a death blow.
After the Affair is the first book to help readers survive this crisis. Written by a clinical psychologist who has been treating distressed couples for 22 years, it guides both hurt and unfaithful partners through the three stages of healing: Normalizing feelings, deciding whether to recommit and revitalizing the relationship. It provides proven, practical advice to help the couple change their behavior toward each other, cultivate trust and forgiveness and build a healthier, more conscious intimate partnership.

After The Affair.......2007-09-26
My son-in-law absolutely loved the book. Hasn't stopped talking about how it helped him deal with various issues.
From the HURT party.......2007-09-06
This book was very painful to read as the "hurt" party. It makes you revisit very painful experiences and feelings, which I had dealt with already. The unfaithful party would rate it 5.
Saved my sanity and hopefully my marriage.......2007-07-20
I felt so lost and out of control, I didn't know where to turn - so immediately searched for a book on the subject of infidelity. I was at first hesitant after reading a review claiming the author places blame for the affair on the betrayed spouse -BUT - After reading this book as a betrayed spouse, I believe this is NOT the case.
What she DOES do is address both the wayward spouse and the betrayed spouse equally when taking an honest and often hard look at the relationship before the Affair took place - where there was breakdown in the marriage that may have lead up to the affair. She does clearly state that the wayward spouse IS responsible for their actions and the affair - after all, no one can FORCE someone to CHEAT.
But thankfully, this books delves far beyond finger pointing, and looks for a way to bring partners back toward one another, by dealing with issues in the marriage rather than sweeping them under the carpet. It does this in a supportive, non-judgmental way, that both sides can feel comfortable pursuing. And she gives us simple yet important exercises to do, and action plans to follow, to help us get there. It's a book to be devoured in one sitting, and then read and reread countless times as needed through the different stages of grieving and healing. This book is a true marriage saver - at least, it is for us, and I hope it can be for you, too.
Let me put it as simply as I can:
I (Betrayed Wife) couldn't put this book down, I was so thirsty for understanding - and cried tears of relief when I felt validated in both my feelings and reactions surrounding the discovery of the infidelity.
My husband (Wayward Husband) skimmed through the book with great interest, then went straight to the closest bookstore and bought his own copy. We both now are in our second readings, all the while making lots of notes in the margins, and doing the simple exercises that pop up from time to time. It has helped us to each understand what the other spouse is going through and may be thinking, and has helped us find a way to relate to one another productively.
We have come a long way in two short weeks, and although I know we still have a long way to go, I don't think we would have made it this far (and remained best friends, as we are) without the help in this book.
In fact, the end chapters on Forgiveness are so good, we've also purchased 'How Can I Forgive You' by the same author, to delve even deeper into the moving forward stage of healing and forgiving.
I would recommend these books immediately to any woman I love - and to any couple or man I care deeply about, too - if they found themselves facing infidelity.
For anyone out there hurting this much right now, I feel your pain, confusion and shock - and want you to know you aren't alone. Get this book and you'll see what I mean - you won't be sorry you did.
Excellent Resource for Surviving and Growing after Infidelity.......2007-05-23
After the Affair is a comprehensive and insightful manual that has provided extraordinary help in my life and Im sure will help millions. It helped me to get through the crisis and shock after finding out that my partner was having an affair. It explained the "normal" feelings and helped me to gain insight into what i was going through. After an affair there are of course choices you have. You can stay with your partner and make a committment to working on the relationship or you can move on to the new adventure that awaits you. This time in your life can be truly transformative. This book offers practical information on rebuilding trust if you choose that path. Personally I got a lot out of the book but I chose to move on with my life. The answer lies within your heart. You just need to listen closely. Highly recommended reading for anyone dealing with this challenging situation.
Not my favorite.......2007-05-13
I was not impressed by the advice in this book.I think no two affairs are the same, neither are all waywards or all betrayed spouses.Her approach seemed to be very one size fits all.Maybe it will help some people but it doesn't help all.The old adage of bad marriage=affair needs to be looked at again.Sometimes there are seriously messed up people that have affairs and fixing the 'broken marriage' will NOT fix them.

Good Info.......2007-04-27
As a man always striving to push the envelope a little further - always striving to satisfy my woman, this book is a refreshing change in that the books emphasis is about pleasuring a lady via manual G-spot stimulation.
Like most men, I had no idea what or where the G-spot is and its role in achieving an orgasm during intercourse. I think most men have figured out the role of the clitoris during sex, but ask most men about the G-spot, and more than likely you will get a blank look.
I'm not giving this book 5 stars, however, because although the information is excellent the stories could have used a good editor to spice them up a little more. If you want stories, look through some of the anthologies here at Amazon, if you want a surefire sex technique to please your lady - buy this book.
don't bother.......2007-04-20
reads like a bad letter to penthouse. no useful or interesting information. really,
i quote..."oh god, that's good...," barbie let out, " more, keep doing it... yes, give it too me."
it is that bad. I wish I could give it no stars.
i wish someone would have warned me. the 5 star review is taking right off the back cover and was obviously written by the author.
WHOA! How Did You Do That?.......2006-08-27
Cool book. The author writes from a lively, often humorous man point of view. The author does not write in a preachy manner, it is as though I was talking to a more experienced friend. The book and the Method are easy to read and to understand. I really appreciated that.
Doctors write most of these types of books. We all know that doctors have a language of their own; I don't know what they are talking about half of the time. This book is different. The author explains the G-gasm Method in detail. This book takes you by the hand and explains to you the steps on how to please a woman. Enjoy the G-gasm book and all the exploration that comes along with it.
I bought this book for my husband, he is into pleasing me now and I love it. G-gasm Method is witty, clever and above all, informative; I love what my husband can now do to me. This book has added a completely new dimension to our sex life and after 20 years of marriage that is certainly welcome.
Trust me girls, buy it for him... to please you
Book Description
A revealing and intimate biography about Janis Joplin, the Queen of Classic Rock, written by her younger sister.
Janis Joplin blazed across the sixties music scene, electrifying audiences with her staggering voice and the way she seemed to pour her very soul into her music. By the time her life and artistry were cut tragically short by a heroin overdose, Joplin had become the stuff of rock–and–roll legend.
Through the eyes of her family and closest friends , we see Janis as a young girl, already rebelling against injustice, racism, and hypocrisy in society. We follow Janis as she discovers her amazing talents in the Beat hangouts of Venice and North Beach–singing in coffeehouses, shooting speed to enhance her creativity, challenging the norms of straight society. Janis truly came into her own in the fantastic, psychedelic, acid–soaked world of Haight–Asbury. At the height of her fame, Janis's life is a whirlwind of public adoration and hard living. Laura Joplin shows us not only the public Janice who could drink Jim Morrison under the table and bean him with a bottle of booze when he got fresh; she shows us the private Janis, struggling to perfect her art, searching for the balance between love and stardom, battling to overcome her alcohol addiction and heroin use in a world where substance abuse was nearly universal.
At the heart of Love, Janis is an astonishing series of letters by Janis herself that have never been previously published. In them she conveys as no one else could the wild ride from awkward small–town teenager to rock–and–roll queen. Love, Janis is the new life of Janis Joplin we have been waiting for–a celebration of the sixties' joyous experimentation and creativity, and a loving, compassionate examination of one of that era's greatest talents.

Family Details.......2007-09-10
I really enjoyed this biography by Janis' sister. It was quite different than some of the other biographies out there in that it's written by someone with lots of details about Janis' early life and family. However it was funny to read about Janis from someone who seems so "straight". Her sister was obviously outside of the Janis-scene of the 60's, so it was an interesting perspective.
Compassionate Yet Ever So Truthful.......2007-09-09
This is a biography at its best. Laura Joplin spares no punches, yet her honesty is her best tool in painting a deeply moving portrait of a tragically wonderful artist. She captures the conflicting personas of Janis, her phenomenal drive and recklessness. The news clips and personal letters she shares are perfect selections and reveal her best and worst.
"I had the Kozmic blues real bad once...when you die, you'll be alone--everyone is. Once you've really accepted this, then it doesn't hurt so much. Get it while you can...'cause it may not be there tomorrow."
That was Janis Joplin. This is "the" book to read on her.
By the author of THE SWAN: Tales of the Sacramento Valley
Love this book.......2007-06-02
I appreciate the intimate details and personal history written in this book. While most books about Janis Joplin deal on the music and concert scene, this book is at the personal level of those who loved her best. If you are not a Janis fan, this book may have more detail than you want. But, for anyone who is a Janis fan, this book is a great read and I am glad her sister wrote it!
The best book on Janis - I've read them all .......2006-03-11
When this book was first published, I read a review on it. I don't remember where I read it or by whom it was written. The writer gave the impression that it was written by Janis' straight and nerdy sister who just wasn't part of, and didn't understand "the scene". The writer went on to say that there was some value in Janis' letters and that if you were a true Janis fan that you should probably read it, but recommended other books on Janis over this one. The implication was that Laura Joplin tried to present a Janis that was much straighter and more clean cut than she was in truth. So, having read this review, I didn't bother to read the book, especially since I'd read so many others.
Recently I went to see the Broadway Play Love, Janis and after hearing some portions of the letters read as part of the play, my interest in the book was sparked and I purchased it. Having done so, I think the writer of that review owes the world, and certainly Laura Joplin an apology. This book was beautifully written by someone who, as her sister, could give us insights that no one else ever could. I would like to include here a quote from the book, which certainly proves to me that Laura Joplin understood it all.
She was explaining the talents that each member of Big Brother and the Holding company brought to the group. "Janis brought her roots in blues. She knew the blues, and wanted her audience to know them through her. If the audience sought to have all its senses aroused at a concert, then Janis, as trance enhancer, brought total commitment to her music. Hers was not a music born merely of the vocal cords anyway, but an ensemble piece within her physical presence alone. She coaxed the music with urging arms and strutting steps. She delved deep within herself, so that piecs of her soul seemed to dance along the harmonies and ride the tidal waves of sound that defined her voice."
Laura Joplin does not shrink from her sister's drug and alcohol use, her bisexual love affairs, or anything else. She talks of Janis' insecurities and where they originated. She tells her story with deep honesty. The book includes the Joplin family tree. Not just a list of grandparents names but a small history of each forefather explaining what brought them together and brought her parents eventually to Port Arthur, Texas and also gives the reader a glimpse of the sturdy stock from which Janis came. It shows you a soft and sensitive, loving side of Janis' that we surely knew was there, but the truth of which could only really be provided by Laura's glimpse into personal family history. Of course Janis, growing up in the 50's and 60's would not have been a wild hippy child during her younger years. Hippies hadn't happened yet. The 50's and early 60's were very "straight" times. This book is where you learn how the Caterpillar turned into the Butterfly that she became. I think we are incredibly fortunate that Laura Joplin was willing to set the record straight and willing to share such personal tidbits from their home and family life. There must have been alot of soul searching and emotional moments that went into creating this book and we should be grateful to Laura for having done it. I deeply treasure this addition to my collection of books on Janis, just as I treasure the music that our Janis, queen of the blues, left as her legacy. I hope wherever she is that she is able to know how many people she touched; the ever growing number of fans she still has and how many of us truly always will Love Janis.
Wow, what an amazing book..........2006-01-06
I have to say that about 3 chapters into this book I didn't think I was going to make it through...and then it got really interesting. This is Janis' story told from the perspective of a family member, her sister. One of the most intriguing things about this book is the transformation of the author's point of view. This isn't something that's completely evident at the beginning, but it slowly unveils itself throughout Laura's writing process...and very eloquently as well. She did a magnificint job of pulling together the right resources in order to constantly remind the reader that Janis' life wasn't about her death at all. Rather, it was a series of high and low events that unfolded given the influences of the times, as well as the pressure and awe of stardom. The letters from Janis give the reader a more detailed look into her thoughts and feelings, as well as a very affective gauge in which to see where she was in terms of her addictions and feelings. In addition to this, being a child of the 80's, it was wonderful to read about all of the sociological change that was going on during that time. I learned a great deal about the beat and hippie generations, drug use and abuse at that time, and about what stardom represented during then as well. It left me wanting to hear more Janis, and to read more biographies that have been written in the same manner.

Customer Reviews:
There's more to dating than nail polish and sexy clothes.......2007-07-16
The instructions in this book we mainly superficial. The main message was that as women we had to look sexy, our best, nails, hair, clothes. The questionaire inquired nothing of real personality. I was very disappointed. This was not a book for real people. This book is for those that make judgements only on the surface.
It works!!.......2007-07-15
Okay so I'm always complaining to my friends about how guys never talk to me...or about my lack of dates with guys...or just the fact that I hardly get any attention at all from the opposite sex...But I can honestly say that this book has really helped me see why I may not have been asked out before. I think an important thing that sometimes women forget that Janis reminded me of was just being a "girl." The simple things that men have loved about women from the beginning of time is what Janis is talking about in this book. The whole looking guys in the eyes and looking down to show the effect his words are having on you...going out looking good and feeling good about yourself and thinking positive thoughts...smiling while talking..or just smiling period is what men love about women. It shows confidence and femininity and makes you stand out. That's what's been missing with me.
I think sometimes women get soo bogged down with the daily grind and with society that we forget to just enjoy being a girl and doing the girlish things that have been attracting men since the beginning of time. I can honestly say that since reading this book I've been asked out on dates at least three times in the past two weeks and attended a function recently where multiple men approached me to tell me how beautiful my hair, eyes, or just how beautiful I looked. By the end of the night my girlfriend and I looked at each other and were like wow. Cause I only had on jeans, a cute shirt and cute accessories...stuff I normally wear. But I really believe my new and improved aura was what made those guys say those things. What was I doing...I was smiling...looking them in the eyes...feeling good about myself...and just enjoying being a girl.
I suggest everyone check this book out. It was a fun read and for the bad reviews on here..give it a break. Yes your friends might go out looking good or whatever but if they aren't displaying their femininity which is what this book is really about then they aren't gonna get asked out. This book just refreshes you on what you already knew all along but might not be doing. Thanks Janis!
Perhaps we are in shallow territory here..........2006-03-18
Get Serious About Getting Married is an entertaining book. Janis Spindel is clearly a livewire and her personality shines through in the text. However, the book did not really relate to my lifestyle at all and so I read it mainly out of curiosity rather than because I was going to take the advice given. The most interesting chapter includes a questionnaire for evaluating your life and looks, which was fun and informative, but the rest was less useful for me.
The book is very much aimed at people who are wealthy and sophisticated and living in New York. Hence advice such as `manicures and pedicures are a must' and `you should go to the hairdresser for a blow-out (blow-dry in UK) and get a make-up artist to do your `face' before you go out on a first date'. For me, a date means I do my own makeup and wash and style my own hair and I personally don't know any woman who has ever gone to a makeup artist or hairdresser for a blow dry on the day of the `Big First Date'. Even someone who is well off might not be the kind of person who would want to go to a make-up artist before dates. Other advice was ridiculous, such as `always travel in business class in planes because economy is so awful'. This type of tip is completely useless to average women. People such as teachers, nurses, sales assistants, students etc can't afford to go business class. And economy class isn't that bad for goodness sake! Overall, the tone of the book is fairly snobbish.
Obviously, all the advice is Janis's OPINION, and for that reason it will not suit everyone. For example, Janis advises that you should wear a skirt or dress on a first date because if you wear trousers a man will assume you have bad legs. What the !? Given how many beautiful women turn up to film premieres and the like wearing jeans or tailored trousers this is obviously not true. So, if a man sees Cindy Crawford in a pair of jeans he immediately thinks - `oh no, she must have really bad legs' - hmm, I wonder! Besides, who cares if some guys (allegedly) prefer skirts? If SHE prefers trousers then that is all that matters. If a guy's whole impression of you is based on your clothes choices then you're in pretty shallow territory anyway.
The book also includes quotes from men that are pretty banal. For example, `There's nothing sexier than a leather skirt worn with boots or high heels' [Richard, thirty-nine]. The problem is that these quotes come from random, faceless men. If you asked another hundred men the same question you'd get exactly the opposite answer from a lot of them, and as a result, who cares what Richard, thirty-nine, finds sexy? The book is aimed too much at finding out what some men want and then cultivating yourself to be just like that. If a guy I was interested in liked women in leather skirts or purple nail polish or women who played badminton, I wouldn't transform myself into any of these things just because he liked them. Women should be true to themselves. Of course, one of Janis's rules is Be Yourself, but it is slightly unbelievable given the kind of advice she gives elsewhere.
Some other reviewers have mentioned the fact that the book is a little shallow when it comes to looks. Of course, we generally feel better about ourselves when we look good and the better you look the more people who will probably chase after you. But it's not as if only super slim, great looking people get dates. Think about the weddings you've been to in the past. Were the brides and grooms you remember all great looking? I seriously doubt it. So if you read this book take the advice with a pinch of salt and live by your own rules and standards.
Overall, the book is entertaining and worth a read for people who like to read relationship books just for fun. For practical purposes though, I think the people who will get the most from it are Sex and the City types who live in New York or similar.
Be the best to attract the best.......2006-02-14
I just finished reading Mrs. Spindel's book and thoroughly loved it. I do not understand why there is harsh criticism from other reviewers. Women need to honestly assess themselves and improve their appearance and lifestyle in order to merit the best mates.
I like how Janis drives home the point about appearances - to the other reviewers - why are you arguing the point that appearances are not of the utmost importance and why would you not want to look and feel your best? Even in the office, people will react to you more positively if you show how much you care about your appearance. I agree with Janis's traditional dating approach. The marriage-minded woman best not place her eggs in one basket and instead, keep all her options open. In other words (and I'll add my own spin for the remainder of the review), yes, it is OK to date multiple men until you hear buzz words like 'diamond wholesaler' and Waldorf-Astoria. Men are dating multiple women and if they are not, they are no closer to committing to you unless they formally ask. Please do not remove your profiles from online dating websites and complain in a month thereafter, why you are suddenly single from the man who asked you to remove your profile. If you give a man a mile, he will take the highway. Women need to stop their self-damaging behavior and not be so available. This means - do not have sex for at least 4 months, do not go on extensive vacations, do not see a man several times/week, and do not live with a man until marriage. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? To all the 'A' type career women, show men your feminine wiles. All women should show men their ability to lead a wonderful life inclusive of fashionable clothes, luxury vacations and yes, Janis is right about flying Business or First class, and time engaged in their own interests. If women take responsibility and act appropriately, we will improve our chances in the dating arena.
Sound Advice!.......2005-09-23
Recently I attended two Janis Spindel events. I have to say it was a pleasure to meet such fantastic women, learn about individual eyelashes and revel in Janis' wisdom and humor. Janis is a force of nature! Meanwhile, I have been doing my homework and started reading the book immediately. I can't seem to put the book down and the part that has been most affirming is that her first few chapters seem to be describing "to a tee" the many life changes and transformations I have experienced in the last year and a half. (I should note here that my transformations have been less physical, and certainly did not include plastic surgery, but more importantly from reading her book I realized just how important it is that I have shed emotional baggage that has been holding me back for way too long.)
Janis' premise is that before finding someone to love, you have to love yourself. Doing things that make YOU feel great about yourself is going to instill a certain positive energy that will be infectious and allow you to have the confidence to attract men. Her premise is not so different than Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink," which also reiterates the importance of first impressions.
So now I am alternating my bedtime reading between "Getting Serious" and a book called "Authentic Happiness" by Martin Seligman, a psych professor at UPenn. It is nice to have such uplifting choices, and both are teaching me to feel great.
All that said, I have to say that putting Janis' teachings into practice, once you are in the place you want to be, is not difficult. Yesterday I took her "Hello Challenge" and met a handsome actor on a New York City Crosstown bus. Thanks Janis for being the cheerleader to help me along my path!
Book Description
Despite prevailing ideas about diabetes treatment, you can learn to control your diabetes, instead of feeling like it controls you. This is the first book to underscore that managing your condition doesn’t have to be focused on deprivation. Leading diabetes educator/dietitian Janis Roszler breaks new ground in Diabetes on Your Own Terms with her insight into balancing real life with the distresses and strains of dealing with diabetes.
Diabetes on Your Own Terms will provide you with treatment options and how to establish health goals that suit your lifestyle and personality; information about healthy practices — weight loss, diet, and exercise — and suggestions for incorporating new habits into your daily life; an explanation of common diabetic complications, and how to avoid and/or delay them; and ways to prevent diabetes from intruding on the time you spend with family, friends, co-workers, and dates.
Roszler’s message is powerful yet simple: Don’t allow diabetes to prevent you from living the life you want, don’t accept “no” for an answer, and don’t let diabetes get you down. Diabetes can be frustrating, but you don’t have to allow it to ruin your dreams. Set realistic goals — and soar!
Customer Reviews:
fairly nonjudgmental.......2007-07-30
The book explores the various methods that may be used to treat the disease in a fairly nonjudgmental way. Some diabetes books focus on drugs while others focus on alternative methods. This book attempts to help you decide what is best for you in your individual case. The book may deserve to be in your diabetes book library.
Great Step Plan.......2007-07-04
The thing that sets this book apart is the way the author breaks down her program into simple, easy-to-achieve steps that makes it easier to follow. Allowing everyone to make their own simple step-by-step promises to change the way they approach diabetes control makes it a lot easier. In the end you are more likely to achieve your goals, because you are making incremental changes over time, not one drastic change that you likely won't stick with. I also liked her web site, which has lots of support; others tell what promises they have made, and what worked and didn't work.
DIABETES ON YOUR OWN TERMS.......2007-01-13
Janis Roszler has written a masterpiece! So much useful information. It will serve as a fantastic guide to a healthy, happy life for all inexperienced diabetics. I have beed diabetic for 61 years and yet I found much useful information in this wonderful book. All diabetics should purchase this book and keep it close at hand. A MUST for every diabetic's library.
Richard Vaughn
Wonderful!!!.......2007-01-02
I have her first book and it really helped me a lot and now with her second one, it is a new wonderful beginning! She is very wonderful/kind person and always there for you and her writting shows it in her books. I frequent her website and she will tell you straight up, just like her books. Excellent and knowledgable! Thanks Janis! Paula Nowicki
Realistic and inspiring help from a leading voice in diabetes care.......2006-12-24
There are dozens of "diabetes guides" on the market - so many, in fact, that it's tough to find one that really stands out in the crowd as 'recommended reading' for people living with diabetes. That's why I was so thrilled to find Janis Roszler's latest. Finally - a diabetes book with both personality and reality-based information on everything from A1c tests to travel to eating out. Reassuring for the newly diagnosed, yet full of practical, sage advice for even the most experienced patient, this book is a must-read for every person with diabetes (and those that care for them).

THE book for pre-marital knowledge.......2006-09-13
If you only had one book to get on the topic of marriage, this would be it. It presents a comprehensive outline of the major aspects of marriage, complete with relatable anecdotes. It is a well-written book that is very accessible and easy to understand. I would say, though it (nor any other book) cannot completely replace one-on-one personal pre-marital counseling, it's probably the next best thing. Very highly recommended...
A Real, Authentic Presentation of Marriage Principles.......2006-03-08
Brent and Janis Sharpe's book is not only informative, but engages the reader through humorous stories and speaks from the heart of counselors and pastors who understand the potholes and struggles of today's married couples. You NEED to read this book!!!!

Monday Love for Every Day .......2006-11-04
A booster shot for living a life filled with joy and practical inspiraton. Imagine dipping your heart into a sweet jar filled with words that appear exactly at the moment needed. Ms. McGuire's kindness and caring spirit are apparant with every word written. She wants us to be the best, to re-interpret faulty thinking or misjudged moments. She presents a higher and alternate way to view our situations. I recommend this book for one's personal guide and as a thoughtful gift for those we treasure the most.

Monday Love Is Thought Provoking.......2006-11-03
Monday Love is so much more than just inspirational. Every page helps you become conscious of your thoughts and gives you tools to improve or change your thoughts. Jani makes it so clear that by changing how we think about and react to different situations or thoughts, we can change what shows up in our lives. This book should be in every home.
Heart Felt Inspiration.......2006-10-14
It is clear that this author has put her heart and soul into this writing. On every page she manages to reach out and touch the reader with words and thoughts that provoke insight as well as reflection. If each one of us kept this near and read it daily it would be a powerful reminder of what is important in life and why each one of us is so valuable.
Inspirations from the heart - .......2006-10-10
Every week, I pick up "Monday Love" from my nightstand to read the inspirational message. Each week, I feel that the author's message was written from her heart and directed just for me. I learn, love and appreciate life's many gifts just from reading the thoughtful insights.

Book Description
Sex is the fuel that keeps love burning hot. Burn baby burn. Use these coupons on complete strangers or give them to your lover, one that you have very strong feelings for already, nothing in between. Pick a time and place where the two of you can spend some time looking through the ideas. Some ideas you might giggle at, some you will toss out as "not for you," others you will pursue with pure lust. Enjoy them. Pick one out, and give it to your lover. Or, put the coupon in an "I Love You" card, and leave it by their morning coffee. Great sex is beautiful - two lovers creating their own music. Sometimes that music is soft and sweet, other times it is loud and rough. I like it rough. How do you like it? Enjoy! Jani

What is your desire?.......2006-11-23
Not for the faint at heart. Some of these coupons are like - "You want to do what to me!?!" The book starts out:
"Some ideas you might giggle at, some you will toss out as "not for you," others you will pursue with pure lust. Enjoy them. Pick one out, and give it to your lover. Or, put the coupon in an "I Love You" card, and leave it by their morning coffee."
You won't find any coupons that say "Good For One Backrub" - instead you receive "Free Flogging" or "Master for a Night" and "Man in Panties" - 44 coupons in all. All of the coupons present a scenario that the two of you play out. Each coupon is 2-3 pages long, giving the two of you an outline for your romantic evening.
The greatest benefit of this book is finding out your lover's hidden sexual desires. My boyfriend gave me this book; I found he wanted to try some things I was afraid to ask. Go figure!
You open doors to new sexual activity, that neither of you thought possible. Fire up your love life - these coupons are FUN.

Book Description
Unintentions by Janis Hicks and Ed Gottschalk What's a twelve-year-old kid to do? Small-town boy Randy Wade has the usual traumas of the junior-high set: uncertainty about girls, bullies, parents who don't understand him, but he also has something not so usual…he can predict the future. At least he thinks he can. The journal in which he writes his classmates' fates is his constant companion during these years.
As an adult, the journal is lost and all but forgotten until a chance encounter with his childhood nemesis propels him back. He discovers that one after another of his predictions has come to pass, but not as he'd intended.
With the help of his best friend, Maureen Kelly, Randy searches for the journal and the answers it may hold before any more harm can be done. Has he written the future and can now only wait for it to occur? Come along and find out where unintentions can lead…
