When I Remember Love received two new professional reviews.
You can read the reviews on my site under Book Reviews or go
right to the sources, Manic Readers and Romance Junkies.  Here is a taste:

Trish Silver provides a wonderful take on what life for a contestant
on a reality television show is like after the last performance. She gives a
remarkable view of the world beyond and how a star is born. The original
music that was made for the novel only adds to the magical ambiance that
Ms. Silver so marvelously crafts. This is a story for anyone who has ever
been in love or ever dreamed of finding the special person meant for them.

When I began writing “When I Remember Love,” I had no idea of the meaning of tantric sex.  However, when I later read about this method of lovemaking I was delightfully surprised to realize my characters were already ardently practicing it.

Tantric sex is all about brewing passion…to tempt, tease then thoroughly please.  It involves the man having total control of his body, trying many positions with his partner, special breathing techniques, and holding back his climax as long as he can to give his lover the ultimate sexual pleasure experience.  Some of these practices of course involve the woman’s efforts as well.

Jenna and Aidan are truly exceptional for a very young couple, in that they have the wisdom and passionate desire to bring each other pleasure, no matter the challenges they might face.  They worship each other’s mind, body, heart and spirit. Their mutual, incredible love has carried them far beyond mere love making, into the glorious realm of tantric sex.

With love as their teacher, they have instinctively initiated the traditional components of the tantric sex philosophy into their lifestyle.  Their love, trust and heartfelt desire to fulfill each other’s needs, and bring each other extreme pleasure, have together afforded them the opportunity to go far beyond mere genital pleasures, all the way to the realm of whole body orgasms not achieved by most couples, who instead simply settle for much less pleasure in their sex lives.

So Jenna and Aidan are not only remarkable in their consideration, respect and mutual love for one another, but as a natural result they have unknowingly incorporated the tantric sex experience into their lives, and thus have vastly enhanced their sexual pleasure.

Couples who have consciously studied and practiced tantric sex often claim that these ancient sexual techniques brought them much closer. They often make love for hours and hours, with ever more variety, spontaneity and passion, and their overall intimacy deepens considerably.  Ovid:  “In love there can be no haste.”

It’s true:  As the sexual connection with your lover deepens you desire to have sex more frequently too, and therefore, the quality of your love lives greatly improves in more ways than one.  The effects snowball, in the most beneficial possible ways.

Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift that is why they call it the Present!

On that note, my dear friend, Lynne Berger who is publishing a fantastic young adult novel, The Staggering Secret of Holly Stone Castle, presented me with a surprise gift – A writer’s Retreat —  at the distinctive, Riviera Oaks Resort in Ramona, California.  I never expected such a treat, as I was busy at work, at home, writing my second novel in the trilogy — The Price of Love.  I was thrilled, as a writer’s life is a very lonely life, and I appreciated the opportunity to be around another writer!

Talk about adventures!!!  It was one from the very beginning, when we unexpectantly made our way up a torturous and twisting mountain road (I get carsick easily) — in the dark of the night. The ride became increasingly daunting, and there was nothing to be seen, except more treacherous mountainous terrain.  There wasn’t even a place to pull over if one had an emergency.  It was frightening to say the least because we had no idea when or where the road would lead us.

Aha!  Suddenly our wish was granted.   Our scary e-ride surprisingly came to a halt bringing us to a well-lit and normal-looking structure.  Out of the blue, we stumbled upon The San Vicente Inn featuring a fine restaurant called The Oaks Grill.  We greeted the receptionist, a wonderful young woman, named Stacey.  She assured us that everyone traveling that road at night feels exactly the same way.  We looked at each other relieved. Starting with Jordan, the hostess, and Ana, the waitress we proceeded to have the best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted. My husband,  Ed, would have been in seventh heaven!

The oasis in the desert continued, as we traveled up dark, ominous, unfamiliar territory to the secluded Riviera Oaks Resort. Martha, the security guard was wonderful, taking pity on two neurotic writers who were not only exhausted but traumatized!

Today, I have tabled my intent to write a Tantric Sex help article (which Jenna and Aidan practice daily in my book) in favor of a visit to the Barona Casino. Mind you, I have a serious gambling problem, but Lynne has a frugal streak and will yank my arm out of the casino if I lose over twenty dollars.  Good luck. Lynne!

The trick is to enjoy each and every day that we occupy this planet, and to live each moment with vim, vigor, friendship and love. I know my publicist and Webmaster Janis will not find this article relevant to my book, however, I think that my readers should know me as a person and not only what I write.

Blogging is becoming more interesting every day. . . Writer’s take note: You too should visit Ramona, California for a mystical experience!!

The reason that I just wrote my last blog about the homeless is because it’s a big part of my book. I don’t want anyone to think that my book is one dimensional, because my novel is so much more. I hope that my book not only arouses people’s sexual senses, but raises their awareness and social consciousness. I wrote “When I Remember Love,” not only to titillate but to show that fidelity can exist among married couples in love.

I was watching Nightline the other night and saw a segment called “Born to Cheat?” On the show Pastor Ed Young said that if a couple has a great sexual life it’s not necessary for the spouses to stray outside the marriage. This passage about passion and sexuality is actually a scripture in the bible. This validates to me the choice I made early on to craft my characters with integrity and fidelity. I was glad that I didn’t bow to the pressures from publishers and evaluators to add more conflict through cheating and drug use. I wanted this not to be the typical pop star rise and fall story about a celebrity being corrupted by fame and fortune. I wanted to prove that you one could write an exciting story without stooping to that level.

By the way, I’m still struggling with blogging but I’m learning to tolerate it.

In my novel, I profile a homeless woman. I have always had a deep fondness for people less fortunate than myself. We live in the land of plenty, yet still have innocent children living on the streets. This is a horror story in the making. There are little provisions provided for these children, and it’s a poor reflection of our country as a free nation. Homelessness with children involved is increasing at an alarming rate.

Because of the economy people are losing their jobs, homes and 70% of them have been living paycheck to paycheck. They find themselves on the street and in some cases; they become vagrants, which in most cases classifies them as criminals. For many homeless people, this life consists of waiting in lines at food banks, occasional arrests, periodic harassing and finding a clean place to sleep that won’t put them in harm’s way.  It’s an appalling life that one cannot fully understand, unless put in that situation.

I want to be a special voice for the homeless and someday be able (through charitable contributions and book sales) to open up homeless sanctuaries around the country that will teach these poor souls a new vocation, spiritual guidance and counseling. A drug free environment is crucial and the schooling for these children is mandatory at a local public school. All school clothes and supplies will be new and given to the children to increase self-esteem.  They will be able to stay in the facility for eighteen months while they build their self-esteem and self-confidence with the help of psychological counseling. After the allotted time, they will be given money to start their new lives and the sanctuary will find them employment.  Would you join me in my quest to end homelessness in America and be a voice of motivation for these unfortunate individuals?

An article titled, “Playfulness-Can Getting Experimental Lead To Orgasm?” written  by Suzie Heumann on the Huffington Post Website was brought to my attention by a friend who’s an avid reader of that site. She was surprised to see my book cover photo displayed with this article.

I was delighted and amazed seeing my book cover image displayed in this enlightening article.  Given that the subject of this article is reflected in the storyline of my book, it leads me to wonder if Suzie Heumann read my novel, “When I Remember Love.”  I hope that my book will add to the enlightenment provided by Suzie’s intelligently written article about the joys of intimacy.

I am going to San Diego tomorrow for my son Matt’s Birthday and to celebrate my grandson Jack’s 7^th Birthday on Saturday. I can’t wait to see them…they’re my heart along with Sarah, Kathy, David and my husband, Ed. Family is what’s most important to me. They’re the backbone of my life.

Yesterday, I went to play cards with Rose again, and I lied to you all; she’s actually ninety –one and beat me again in Shanghai Rummy. Oh well, she is a card shark. What can I say? She’s a better card player than I. I’ll miss playing with her next week.  I adore her.

By the way,  view my book trailer then  take advantage of the free book offer, they’re going fast! The reviews have been great!

I’ll write tomorrow and give you some great tips on marketing your novel.

You can comment…I won’t bite! My laptop loves to travel, and I will receive all your messages.

My best,

Trish
