To: patrick at writersdeadline.ca


Hello Patrick,

Could you please pass this on to your listers for me?

I'm writing an article for the Ottawa Citizen's new "Boomer" magazine (aimed
at Baby Boomers of course!). The article is "OLD FLAMES/NEW SPARKS" and will
focus on social networking sites like Facebook that have made it easy to
connect with friends from years past ? including people we might have been
especially close to, or maybe just wanted to be. The article will tell the
stories of people who have reconnected (or just connected) this way.

The good, the bad and the ugly . . . I'm looking for it all. For example,
has reconnecting with an old flame caused a problem with a current
relationship!?

I know you have a lot of people on your list who may have something
interesting to say about this topic . . .

How about you Murray?

Deadline? Would like to polish this off by the end of next week (Labour Day
weekend)

*As writers, we're all marketers. Our business is to persuade the public to
buy our books or read what we've published in newspapers, magazines, or
online. We need to convince media to call us for interviews, companies to
hire us, or strangers to purchase what we're selling. Learning how to write
compelling promotional materials is essential, and having access to proven
techniques from a master marketer is pure gold. Bobbi Graham has just
reviewed a book all writers need to read. It's called The Secrets of
Emotional, Hot-Button Copywriting: How to Employ the 7 Key copy Drivers that
Make People Act. Her review is posted at:

Hey Mystery writers!

Tony Hillerman was a former newspaperman whose evocative mystery novels set 
among the Navajos of the Southwest took the American detective story in new

Here's an update from True North Perspective. We are on their mailing list and 
receive their updates.

"In a world where "disinformation" thrives in virtually all capitals on  
all continents, True North Perspective, in the spirit of the ancient  
Greek, Diogenes, (looking for an honest man with a lantern),  
thoroughly exercises a fine-tooth international information-rake to  
claw out the truth. With a sense of humour, TNP is a high-end,  
balanced read for the sophisticated mind. See

Hi Patrick:

I haven't done any research on it, but the puff reads like what
