More About the Author

While forever a hopeful romantic, I'm an "accidental" author.

Inspired by a kissing interlude with a guy with major kiss-a-risma, KISSING is a wonderful example of how a kiss can truly lead to the unexpected.

Being half Armenian and half Greek, kissing tends to come pretty naturally (those from the "kebob belt" are as passionate about it as grilled leg of lamb, pilaf and baklava!). Mesmerized and preoccupied by this intoxicating interaction since childhood, I can honestly say kissing is my favorite pastime (I'd list it as such on a resume and present it as a job skill if it was acceptable).

So now having the opportunity to share my thoughts on this most delightful activity gives me great pleasure. As the truly hopeful romantic, I can't think of anything more satisfying than turning the sweet 'n sexy feel-good of kissing into something fun, informative and hopefully helpful for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you for your interest. And in the words of the KISSING credo:
Kiss with enthusiasm and respect.
Kiss with abandon and no regret.
Kiss knowing each kiss counts towards something.
And forever be in quest of kissing.

This review is from: Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About One of Life's Sweetest Pleasures (Paperback)

As a somewhat repressed male, not entirely in touch with my romantic self, I sure learned a lot. Great as a reference book, as well as a good read.

This review is from: Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About One of Life's Sweetest Pleasures (Paperback)

This book is wonderful! It feels beautiful in your hands and the content is laid out very cleverly. This makes it an easy, entertaining read. The author has done her homework; whether you want to know about "Best Movie Kisses" or the "History of Kissing", there are even results from her survey to tell you WHERE to kiss your loved one. Very cool!

This review is from: Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About One of Life's Sweetest Pleasures (Paperback)

This book has little or nothing to do with the promises indicated by its title. Its author does not reach a male reader. Maybe this book was aimed toward 10 year old girls who want to imagine kissing in perfect-romance someday.
