Albequerque Bio Park, Mediterranean Garden2005 Health Benefits Manuscript Reborn

I first wrote this manuscript in 2005 in one of my mad cap entrepreneurial ventures with a well-known financier who subsequently ended up in federal court with an IRS tax bill that left me speechless. The public records said $100 million.

His publishing venture died a quick death, and I sat with an 80,000 word manuscript and no business plan.

Without an agent or publisher, my words lay cosy and unruffled in the bottom drawer, never inspiring a soul or getting a laugh. That hurt, because — trust me —  this is a funny read.

What was a revolutionary argument around the health benefits of sex in 2005 has gained traction in the last five years. It’s now or never on the subject, and with my Anne of Carversville and Sensuality News online personas, I believe that readers can help me finish this book.

All the original documents will be uploaded, and we will begin updating the medical research online. Hopefully, you will help. 

As a perfectionist, I never wanted my slip showing in public, only my black hat. 

Now I see the opportunity differently. Our Anne of Carversville journal survived, after some early rambling and heart-wrenching admissions and has grown into a website we are proud of. The same will happen with this manuscript.

Consider these chapters a garden in need of tending but hardly filled with ramshackle structures and bramble bushes. We have lilies and roses — not primroses, sorry — and bouganvilla. And jasmine, we must have that scent, which is my favorite. Except for the peonies, which I adore.
