I was heartened to see men validating my book! Yes, the book is out-of-print, though all rights have reverted to me and I am seeking to repackage, reformat, retitle, and remarket the material. The book was simply ahead of its time: too many women still too angry, and too many men oppressed by male-bashing and anti-patriarchal rhetoric! I was interviewed on more than 85 radio shows, and my heart sank when the exposure did not translate into sales.

Can you help guide me to publishers, magazines, or other media who
focus on men-friendly work -- and would be interested in re-releasing
an improved version of What There Is To Love About A Man? I am
open to a variety of collaborative, co-creative, efforts with organizations or companies who understand why this material is important.

The best response to the book was always from men doing men's
work at individual or community levels - both gay and hetero.
To the best of my knowledge, no other book exists, written by a woman,
that honors and celebrates masculine qualities of body, mind and spirit.

'Tis more than coincidence that I discovered your web site and
Adam's rallying cry at the same time I am actively looking to
bring this content back around! You may post this, along with
my email address.

Thanks so much. I am grateful for the support of the men
who participated in the conversation nearly one year ago.
