Party time

Lest you think we forgot about you, our faithful readers, bite your tongues! We have just been busy. Lil and Sue have each rented dumpsters to clean out the clutter in their lives.....I mean houses. Sue and Irwin have filled two, Lil and Wayne are on their first. But last night it was time to party as we all attended a wedding in Boston.

When Sex Isn't Good is building a small following. People are buying it both from iUniverse and Amazon.com. If you want to purchase an autographed copy, Lil has those and can ship it to you. Simply write to whensexisntgood@comcast.net and Lil will let you know the cost. Once you mail her a check you can receive an autographed copy by return mail as long as these last. Don't forget that the authors are available for book signings at your local book store or book club, and for inspirational presentations at your local women's club or parents' organization or other group.

We wish you all a happy start to summer full of reasons to party.

Update

It's been far too long, and we know how much you enjoy hearing about us and When Sex Isn't Good. We have been selling the book now for a couple of weeks--from iUniverse, from Amazon and from Lil's trunk! She has them for sale at various speaking engagements or if you happen to have lunch with her. Sue lives in the city now so she doesn't have a big pile of books. So we thought, since you all love photographs, that you might enjoy seeing some pictures from "Sue and Irwin's excellent cross country adventure." Having visited 9 national parks and monuments west of the Mississippi while driving from Boston to San Diego in 2007, they could not compete with the road trip Lil and Wayne took way back when before children, but the pictures from a month ago tell it all. Here are just a few for your enjoyment.

This is the national memorial at Oklahoma City. It's eery at night but peaceful, which is the feeling it was designed to convey.

Here's the painted desert in Arizona. It's right next to the pertrified forest!

The Colorado River cuts through the Grand Canyon. On the right is the Grand Canyon at sunrise. As the sun comes up (at 5:30 am in temperatures below 40°) the shadows change as the sun hits different peaks and valleys.






Bryce Canyon looks like giant drip castles. You can see it from above, or walk down a path and look up at the spires called hoodoos!




One of the most beautiful parks because it has rocks and trees and rivers and lots of room to roam is Zion. This was our last stop before hitting Las Vegas for a show and the last day of driving to reach San Diego. The picture does not do it justice because the camera ran out of power so we missed so many possible pictures.


Sue and Lil cannot wait until we have a book tour and can visit more beautiful parts of the United States (and the world). If you want us to come to your home town, simply arrange a book signing at your local bookstore, an author reading and conversation at your book club, or any another appropriate event. We would love to visit you!

Just starting....

The book is finished, printed, available for everyone, so now we can relax, right? Wrong! The fun has just begun. Signing books in the kitchen
today, maybe in the bookstores tomorrow.

And check out our youngest reader......

It's here!!!

Lil was driving home from New Hampshire, Sue and Irwin were passing into Texas on their way to their new home, when Wayne received a big box from iUniverse with our author copies of When Sex Isn't Good! Lil checked them out and said they looked great, so now you can go ahead and order your own copies. We promised you they would be available in time for Mother's Day. What more can we say? Tomorrow we send a copy off to Oprah, since her producer is very interested in the book. Tomorrow is also a big day as the Arleques bid farewell to their son Jeff as he and the Yankee Division head back down south to prepare for deployment to Iraq. And Sue gets to fulfill a lifelong dream as the Goldsteins arrive at the Grand Canyon.

We wish everyone the opportunity to fulfill their dreams, and safe travels to all. But most importantly, happy reading. We would love to hear your comments after you get your copy of the When Sex Isn't Good.

New spaces, new places

Tonight Lil and Sue and spouses will spend their last evening together as Massachusetts residents. Sue and Irwin are leaving on a cross country journey tomorrow that will take them under the Arch in St. Louis, to the rim of the Grand Canyon, and on to their new home in San Diego. But Lil and Sue are tied together forever as co-authors of When Sex Isn't Good, and as sisters in spirit. We are saddened by the impending separation, but inspired by our futures. Our kids have all left the nest and we are enjoying our new lives. We look forward to sharing our stories and the stories of other women when we appear on TV talk shows and are interviewed by magazines. We look forward to helping other women regain their sexual function by offering them hope, and sharing our knowledge and that of our experts for both our readers and their healthcare providers. When Sex Isn't Good will be available for sale in a few short days. Visit us in the pages of our book. Visit us when Lil is giving one of her famous humorous presentations full of lessons to be learned. Visit us at San Diego Sexual Medicine if you decide you want our medical consultant as your physician. Visit us on the web and see what we are up to. Thank you for your support and well wishes as we prepared our 315 page book. Look here shortly to find where you can buy your own copy of When Sex Isn't Good!

Radio

For those of you who don't live in the Phoenix area, When Sex Isn't Good received some exciting publicity yesterday! Dr. Goldstein was featured on an "ask the doctor" call in radio program in the Phoenix area, and the host invited Lil to participate. She had an opportunity to answer questions, and the host announced the publication of When Sex Isn't Good. As a result we have received e-mail requests for the book (whensexisntgood@comcast.net) which is exciting. Next month our book will be featured in North Shore Magazine.

Note the change in our book cover. Previously we had the working version of the cover posted here. Now that the book is at the printer we are able to post the final cover!
