The Proof

It's here! We sat anxiously waiting for the proof of the cover of When Sex Isn't Good to download, hoping it hadn't been changed significantly from the cover Jeremy had designed for us, and they hadn't touched it! Then we downloaded the contents of the book. We are so excited to be able to tell you that we have a 300 page book in proof form. We have two weeks to complete the proofing, but plan to have it done in plenty of time so we can get the book out to you to read. Can you tell from this post how excited we are? It looks beautiful—and we hope you feel the same way—although we may be slightly prejudiced!

We will let you know the final progress as it happens, but suffice it to say that we believe When Sex Isnt' Good will have been worth the wait.

Proofing

When Sex Isn't Good is now with the designers. We have been told it will take a little longer than the normal book because we have so many specific instructions as to layout—all the better to make the book easier for you to read!

Next week we will be on vacation in St. Maarten, and expect to receive an e-proof while there. As usual, we will get on it as soon as possible and send back corrections. But to give you a flavor of how we will be forced to work in distasteful surroundings, here is a picture from our vacation there last March.

We also want to congratulate our medical consultant, Irwin Goldstein, on his new position as Director of Sexual Medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego!

Family fotos

Since we have not posted any photographs recently, and we have heard from so many people how much you enjoy them, it seems only appropriate to show you the loves of our lives, Elijah who just went on a Caribbean vacation with his grandparents, and Tyler who recently went on a Caribbean vacation with his grandparents. Both boys cannot wait until their grandmothers' book is available for all of you to read!

Catching up

We want to apologize to all our readers for not having written since the beginning of February. Both of us have had a lot happening within our family units, but that doesn't mean we have been ignoring When Sex Isn't Good.

After submitting the manuscript, we got a very positive editorial evaluation, with some solid constructive criticism. We have reworked what we felt was necessary, reproofed the manuscript, and returned it today to the publisher to be sent to the design team. We are both out of town at present, but we will both be back in the Boston area by the time the proof is ready.

We have maintained the schedule, and the publisher has as well. We expect to have the book ready for sale before Mother's Day, in case you were looking for the perfect present....

We know you love seeing photos—we hope to have some new ones posted soon.
