We are currently knee-deep in a Romance Apocalypse. There are more single adults than ever before, yet people are not connecting and forming real relationships. The US birth rate is at the lowest point in history, traditional values are under attack, and any sense of courtship behaviors and chivalry has all but died at this point. In Making Love Great Again, DeAnna explains who killed romance, and why many men are boycotting marriages with women and no longer interested in committing beyond a fling. She boldly explains the forces that have created a generation of adult men hooked on video games & pornography, and single women who unknowingly repel great men away, yet are lonely, over-worked, and much less happy than women of 50 years ago. She paints a frightening future of what's in-store for us in the next five years if no changes are made - including relationships with robots, a completely gender-neutral society, and the elimination of intimacy and marriage. She then lays out her Making Love Great Again plan to this ship around, revive romance, and start WINNING again in your relationships. You'll find out what your opposite sex really wants & needs right now and what s been missing in order to better understand them, connect with them, and attract them. This book is a wakeup call to every man and woman, but also a practical action plan for making love great again for yourself - and the world - that will leave you winning in dating and love!

What you're reading right now is known as the "cover copy," or “flap copy.” This is where the 84,951 words of my latest book are cooked down to 350 words or less to capture your imagination/download. I pondered how to do that. Should I cut to the chase and reveal pivotal plot points like the one at the end of the book where the little girl on crutches points an accusing finger and shouts, "the killer is Mr. Porter"? No. I have too much respect for you as an intelligent consumer to attempt such an obvious ruse. But let's not play games here. You clicked your way to this page, so you either: A. Know who I am. B. Like the cool smoking jacket I'm wearing on the cover. Or: C. Thought this was a secret link to Ashley Madison. Is it a sequel to my autobiography If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor? Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. Is it an "autobiographical novel"? Yes. I am the lead character in the story (coincidentally an actor), and I am a real person, and everything in the book actually happened - except for the stuff that didn't. The action revolves around my preparations for a pivotal role in the A-list relationship film, Let's Make Love! My Homeric attempt to break through the glass ceiling of B-grade genre fair is hampered by a vengeful studio executive and a production that becomes infected by something called the "B-movie virus" - symptoms of which include excessive use of cheesy special effects, slapstick, and projectile vomiting. From a violent fistfight with a Buddhist to a life-altering stint in federal prison, this novel has it all. And if the 84,951 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics – all of which have been upgraded to vibrant color since the first publication. I hope you enjoy the book – and if you learn anything at all about making love, please share it with me! Regards, Bruce "Go Ahead and Call Me Ash" Campbell
