My Relationship Book Tour kicked off on 1/28 at the Family Christian Bookstore in Alexandria, VA. Today is the 2nd tour stop taking place at the Family Christian Bookstore in Elkridge, MD and the last tour stop is at the Family Christian Bookstore in Salisbury, MD. I've been having so much fun meeting and signing copies of my latest relationship book "Before the Lights Go Out:11 Keys to Achieve Real Physical Intimacy". Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 11:30pm is the LAST stop for the Relationship Book Tour. The Books are doing great. I believe relationships will be mended and people will make wiser choices in their courting selections. Real intimacy is more than just physical. Got to get this book to find out wha real intimacy is all about and how to achieve it. Great for couples gift for Valentines. Don't miss this tour. Get your copy of the book on amazon.com.
