Writing a book is like having a baby and, as you probably know, making a baby is much more rewarding with the support of caring community. My community is made up of those who were there for the conception, when it was all just for fun in New Orleans: Taggert Brooks, Brooks Kaiser, Daniel de Munnik, Char Weise, Oleksiy Kryvtsov, and Deirdre McCloskey.

In the early days, my wonderful students in my Economics of Sex and Love class identified the early signs that a book might be in my future. The fine people at Big Think, Paul Hoffman to be precise, confirmed the positive result—I was going to be a writer. Thanks to the platforms and support provided to me by my many blog editors—David Hirschman and Daniel Honan at Big Think, Rob Gilroy at the
Globe and Mail
, and Jordan Timm at
Canadian Business
magazine—I was able to expand my audience and benefit from the thousands of comments made by readers. The experience was enriched by those who sent me research: Ryan Davies, Frances Wooley, Shoshana Grossbard, James Fenske, Anatoliy Gruzd, Niko Bell, Teresa MacInnis, and Micheal Margolis.

When it came time to find a doula I was lucky enough to find the wonderful Danielle Svetcov who brought with her Elizabeth Fisher, Jim Levine, and the rest of the team at Levine Greenberg. Many of my friends were there to the end, especially Theresa Cyrus and Nancy McMeekan. My team of midwives, editors Jennifer Lambert, Leigh Haber, Lisa Tauber, Jane Warren, and copy editor Janet Silver Ghent, made certain the delivery was as perfect (and painless!) as possible along with those behind the scenes making my baby beautiful—designers, publicists, and sales agents.

This new baby of mine has a family, and one that has been patient through the sleepless nights—Grace Adshade and Pamela and Donald Rose have been particularity welcoming—and while Regina and Duncan Adshade never expected such a demanding sibling, I hope they share my joy in its delivery.

DR. MARINA ADSHADE
teaches economics at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada. In 2008, she launched an undergraduate course titled Economics of Sex and Love, which invited her students to approach questions of sex and love through an economist's lens. The course was an instant hit, and led to the launch of the blog, Dollars and Sex, which can be found at MarinaAdshade.com.
