Get a jump on Valentines Day.

One of my favorite ideas is to give a personalized copy of a romance
novel to your beloved.

Did you know that more women get *in the mood* by reading romance
novels than almost any other form of fore play?

You get to personalize the novel with your names and 26 personal
details.  You even get to choose whether or not you want it to be
*mild* or *wild*.  Now you can even put your photo on the cover.

Michael,

I would like to take this chance to say what a difference you have
made in my marriage.  Ive bought a couple of your e-books.  All are
great, and the tips from the *500 tips* book has just about given my
husband heart failure!  He wonders where his old wife went – not
that he wants her back!  We have been married for 6 years, and we
are just opening up and really getting to know each other through
your books.  We are Christians, (I am a pastor’s daughter), and its
about time someone helped me out without being immoral or degrading!
Thank you a thousand times!  ( And my husband thanks you, too!) –
A.K.  Durham, NC

My entire collection of ebooks is now on special for a limited time:

~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~

ANTICIPATION IS MAKING ME WAIT
by Michael Webb Founder,
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

Have you ever planned a special trip and bought a guidebook or video
about the place you were going to visit and got so excited by
reading about or seeing pictures of where you were heading?

Daily reminders of an upcoming excursion can make one
anxious and eager.  Likewise, by sending reminders of a specially
planned event to your sweetheart, you can multiply the anticipation
and enjoyment of the occasion.

If the event is going to be more romantic in nature then think of
some romantic items to entice him or her with.  Roses and pieces of
chocolate smell of romance.  On each day about a week before the
special date deliver, mail or hide a piece of chocolate or a single
rose or other romantic token.

If you are poetic, try writing a verse to go along with each daily
gift.  If poetry isn t your strength then write a simple line
about how you are looking forward to this special date or trip you
have been planning.  If you use Hershey Kisses, you could replace
the little Hersheys tag with a thin piece of paper with your
message on it.

On one particular date I wanted to make really special, I bought a
dozen roses a week before.  Six days before our date I put half a
dozen roses on her desk with a note mentioning I was looking forward
to the grand event in six days.  I gave four roses four days before
and the remaining two roses two days prior to the date.

A little hype can turn even the most average date into a
special occasion.  However, one must be careful not to over-hype an
ordinary date.  Otherwise, the date itself may be a let down.

Now if your trip or date is more fun in nature, send something more
festive each day.  If it is a birthday party in the works, you could
send a party hat one day, then birthday candles and a noise maker
and so on.  For those who like to plan mysterious evenings or
getaways, try sending clues throughout the week.

An event that is planned well in advance could be promoted by
offering weekly reminders beforehand.
