The “F” Word – Secrets to a Happy Relationship
My top 10:
The following are not based on any scientific research. The top 10 is my opinion on what makes marriages/relationships happy and last longer than a typical Hollywood union.
- The all important “F” word — FUN.
- Separate closets.
- Separate bathrooms.
- Never Stop Dating.
- A pair of verbal boxing gloves. Duke it out fairly, let each other know what you’re pissed off about, get over it and move on.
- A bad memory.
- Those important three little words: “Let’s go out.”
- Go ahead and go to bed mad at each other. However, you both have to get naked, sit on the bed, facing each other and hold hands. See how long the argument will last then?
- Guys: put the seat down. Gals: pick your battles, toilet paper over the top, or under—it doesn’t matter.
- There is no such thing as a perfect marriage/relationship, so scrap that whole notion, because it doesn’t exist. Perfection is overrated anyway, however, there are perfect moments filled with laughter, love, sitting on the couch necking, splashing each other in puddles when you walk in the rain, text each other naughty messages (just don’t punch in the wrong number, it’s embarrassing, not that happened to me or anything )
Two of my favorite quotes:
“If we discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them.” – Christopher Morley
“We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.” – Agnes Repplier

Selena’s Review of SAVING HALEY:
Nancy Lauzon’s flair for unique storytelling and unforgettable characters along with her talent for writing page-flipping prose, keeps the reader riveted to SAVING HALEY. Once again, Nancy Lauzon had this reader feeling the emotions of each character, with laughter, tension and at times a few tears.
SAVING HALEY features an intelligent, strong heroine, and a heart-throb hero who both have a past that they have to deal with in order to be able to move ahead. It is in these characters and in the distinctive plot and subplot that the reader will experience emotional turmoil in this must read.
Nancy Lauzon blends the right amount of mystery, romance, and sprinkles it with a good balance of eccentric, quirky, fun and mysterious characters.
SAVING HALEY is a fast paced mystery that will take the reader on an intriguing path.
INTERVIEW:
Selena: If we could ask your best friend, “What’s the funniest thing you could say about Nancy?” What do you think she would say?
I hope she would say that the funniest thing about me is my writing. Most of my novels contain a bit of humour, and I like books that lift me up. There is so much negativity in the world these days, and so many serious, depressing books. We need to lighten up, and I hope that my books put a smile on readers’ faces. Having said that, Saving Haley is a little bit darker than my other novels.
Looking for that Special Someone?
Only those who possess a wicked sense of humor and a sense of the absurd need apply.

Willing to take field trips (may include stalking) to observe and interview police, hookers, military personnel, farmers, morticians, mobsters, mechanics, Walmart greeters, nuns and prison guards—if you own a pair of night vision goggles even better.
