Loving Your Long Distance Relationship A Cool Book for Lovers Separated By Circumstance Loving Your Long Distance Relationship is a first of its
kind in a new 1990's genre. Throughout its pages, self-published author
Stephen Blake delves into the all too-increasingly-common phenomenon of
staying in love while having to be apart. Blake is the voice of experience
when it comes to nurturing long-distance relationships. He's on his third. Blake says it's just fate that he seems to keep falling
for women that he ends up separated from for long periods of time. But
it has meant he's become quite an authority on long-distance relationships--
a growing trend in an increasingly mobile society--his may be the first
book on the subject. Loving Your Long Distance Relationship is a book both painfully
poignant yet ultimately pragmatic. Readers will nod their heads, and perhaps
even shed a tear, in recognition of what the author has experienced in
his three long-distance romances. But all will be eager to absorb the
practical and helpful suggestions Blake provides in combating the tribulations
of lovers challenged by distance. A simple rule that Blake and his girlfriend follow is to
say their good-byes the night before she has to leave, rather than in
a tearful rush at the airport. They talk by phone daily, but keep their
calls relatively short. They save really serious discussions for a time
when they're face to face. And they always focus on the time when they'll
be together for the long term. And what about long-distance sex? That chapter of Blake's
book is reduced to one sentence: "There is no such thing." In the conclusion of his book, Blake asks readers to send
him their own stories of long-distance relationships. (It will use up
a few hours that would otherwise be spent missing their loved ones, he
points out.) The plan? He intends to publish a sequel called Still Loving
Your Long-Distance Relationship. Author Stephen Blake is a problem-solver, people manager,
and long-distance veteran. He is the founder of Anton Publishing, a Canadian-based
