About me:
Hey everybody! I'm Amy Spencer. www.amy-spencer.com And many of you guys knew me as the relationship expert on Sirius satellite radio's Maxim channel 108. Well, when there was a Maxim 108.
I hosted the live call-in show "Sex Files," devoted to helping your love and sex lives every week on Sirius Satellite Radio. It aired every Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST (11 a.m. Pacific), as my co-host Anna David and I gave you insight on women from our female point of view, and answered YOUR calls on relationships.
My upcoming book is MEETING YOUR HALF-ORANGE: An Utterly Optimistic Guide to Using Dating Optimism to Find Your Perfect Match (Running Press, February 22, 2010). It's a practical plan for harnessing your optimism to bring along your other half. By the time you finish reading it, you'll feel SO positively good in your own skin and you'll be SO focused on the relationship you want, the right person will naturally be drawn right to you! (It's *technically* written for women because I had to pick a pronoun, but the half-orange plan works for EVERYONE.)
Check out the Meeting Your Half-Orange Facebook Group to find out more!
I continue to write about relationships for magazines like Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Match.com, Stuff, Redbook, Women's Health, msn.com and others. And I write about fashion, beauty, celebrities, travel and lifestyle for Angeleno, Harper's Bazaar, New York, Real Simple, Manhattan, Health and a dozen others.
And although there is no longer a Maxim radio, I will continue to be, on MySpace...Maxim Amy.
