A Whole Lot of Love!

When you embrace a topic like online dating in a novel and market your book solely online, if you’re smart, you’ll also look for ways to connect with the global dating community.

Over the past few months I’ve been doing just that, reaching out to various members of this gigantic global online community. It’s brimming with great people who are interested in, supporters of, service providers to, and active participants who devote their efforts to helping single people everywhere with dating, love and relationships.

Do you know what I’ve learned from these efforts?

There’s a whole lot of love out there!

So many virtual strangers have been willing to connect, willing to advise, willing to share, willing to make introductions and willing to promote eloves me, eloves me not and me as an indie author. I guess the quest for love, promotes a little love of it’s own. As a new member of this supportive group, I’m happy to show a little love too!

Here’s one lovely lady I’ve met on this journey. Neely is about as focused on dating, love and relationships as a girl can be. And, she’s offers some pretty unique expertise.

For the past decade, Neely Steinberg has been writing and speaking about dating, love, and relationships. She has been a featured expert in a wide array of media outlets and has created and hosted two radio shows and an internet TV show on the subjects of dating, love, and relationships. Drawing from her Master’s degree in Counseling and her passion for helping others, Neely’s dating coaching practice The Love TREP™, based in Boston, is dedicated to teaching and coaching smart, educated, professional women across the world, ages 27-45, how to use an entrepreneurial spirit, mindset, and approach to find healthy, happy dating lives that lead to healthy, happy relationships.

Sharing my book and my story with the Mr n Mrs Romance Podcast

I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on a fabulous new podcast called Mr n Mrs Romance. Mr Romance, known as Jack, interviewed me about eloves me, eloves me not, being an author, my experiences with online dating and finding love.

Podcast #16 – eloves me, eloves me not with LA Johannesson

Jack was a terrific host. He asked some refreshing questions and we had a few laughs while I got to share a great deal about the inspiration for the book, the story, its characters and my own views on dating and love. Any conversation that can move from Star Trek to Shakespeare covers a lot of ground as is worth a listen. You can go straight to the audio here!

MrnMrsRomance (mrnmrsromance) on Twitter

Mr n Mrs Romance is a UK-based podcast with the aim of exploring the extraordinary breadth of the human condition in relation to romance, love and sex. With input from an amazing collection of individuals, they aim to compile a fascinating picture of relationship culture in the 21st century. Mr n Mrs Romance believe that in today’s society that there is no one way by which relationships are played out and as such, each podcast will aim to capture the many varied outlooks and practices of today’s relationship lifestyles.

As you’ll see from the diverse topics covered in the first 16 episodes, it is definitely delivering on its promise.

I had a blast as a guest. I’ve also learned a little from some of the other episodes (I’m just not saying which ones ;-) . I encourage you to have a listen and subscribe to it on iTunes.  

Mr n Mrs Romance are bound to keep it interesting!

You can also connect with them on twitter as @mrnmrsromance and on facebook.

 

PS – Thanks again Jack, you give good podcast!
