Foreword.
When my newspaper editor asked me to write the forward for Phoebe Halliwell’s book, my first thought was ‘Phoebe’s writing a book? She can barely hold a pen the right way up without actually knowing how to write with it! How on earth will she manage a book?’
But then I thought, ‘Everyone knows Phoebe Halliwell. And everyone knows Phoebe Halliwell is all about love. And sex. ‘Don’t forget the sex!’, as Phoebe herself once said to me when I’d phoned her to ask if she was making an appearance at the office that day.
On questioning the editor, I discovered he felt that we should capitalise on the popularity of our advice columnist by producing this handy guide for all the sad, desperate, lonely and single people out there , not to mention those in crappy relationships, and Phoebe’s fans. And lets face it, that’s a huge audience with at least $5.99 to spend!
I’ve known and endured Phoebe now for nearly 3 years. At first I was tempted to fire her and make her useful assistant the advice columnist. But then I realised just how much more compensation money I’d get from an industrial tribunal if I took a complaint to them about the way she –and only she – was allowed to behave in the office! Somewhere along the line I grew to tolerate her interestingly self-centred approach to work, and her occasional manic behavior, not to mention sporadic public nudity – sometimes with animals! I realised that my pension plan wasn’t great, but a book on my infamous work colleague would probably help with an early retirement plan.
So, thank you, Phoebe. With your wise words, helpful suggestions and witty observations, you have helped people all over the Bay area and beyond with your sex advice and tips on techniques and positions. Even when all they needed was advice on giving up smoking.
What else can I say? Phoebe - Every letter you answer is a dollar towards my pension fund.

Acknowledgements
Wow. Thanks for that lovely introduction Elise. I used to think you didn’t like me and that you made me work too hard! But then I realised that the office was just like another dating agency – one that paid you to join!
I’d like to thank everyone who ever helped me look for, find and enjoy Love.
Love is a wonderful thing. There’s just not enough of it – well, I never get enough of it! Love is spontaneous, outrageous, contagious and infectious, although there are clinics to help with the latter of these. With my book, I’m hoping to spread a little more love around and make the world a happier place. And for those who are unsure of love or a little scared of love – just imagine that I’m taking you by the hand and introducing you to the 'joys of love!'
But this book isn’t only for those who have problems with love. Its for those who have problems generally with relationships. And I’ve had so many of them that I’m an obvious expert! Or should that be ‘sexpert’? I’ve had lots of that too! So for those people who have problems with sex, be they members of the opposite sex, same sex, or would-like-to-have-sex and general sex issues – remember, I can help you!
I was also a little concerned about writing a whole book by myself , until Elise pointed out that all I really had to do was to take the letters I’ve been sent and write about them. ‘Cheap, easy and quick’ , was what she said, though I’m not entirely sure she was talking about my book.
So I’d like to thank the following people, in no particular order, for helping me find and spread love. Eric, Stephan, Alec, Billy, Clay, Martin, Peter, Paul, Ken, Mike, Ken again, Tony, Joel, Hans, Cupid, Cole, Drake, Jason, Miles, Leslie, Dex and Coop.
Thank you also to those too numerous to mention and whose names I’ve forgotten – it wasn’t just a on-off thing and I’ll remember it always!
The nurse says the rash will clear up with some antibiotics.
Love and kisses
