Andrea Reynolds, known for
her creative and often offbeat ideas (she teaches seminars
on creative thinking), says many orders come from
Toronto
residents. "They like the way I add
a twist to ordinary date and weekend activities . . . such
as a subway station tour of the art on display."
In addition to activities specific to Toronto, you'll find
some clever and practical ideas for romantic gift giving
and sparking or rekindling romance. The author even
suggests unusual ways to invite a friend or date for a
Toronto event or activity.
The
story behind Romantic & Playful Toronto
I actually published two books:
Let's Do Something Besides Dinner and a
Movie, and
Romantic and Playful Toronto, which had the same
content but contained places and contact information
specific to Toronto. It was ideal for both Toronto
residents and visitors to Toronto. It was perfect for
guests who stayed at my Author's Bed & Breakfast which
was in downtown Toronto.
Originally, the Learning Annex asked me to conduct a class
called 50 Romantic and Playful Things to Do in Toronto. I
said, "What, only fifty?" The list wasn't just a list of
places: I added a twist ... something to make your time at
the location more memorable.
When my students asked for it, I published a little booklet
of 101 Romantic and Playful Things to Do. Then it became
401, and then 501. I stopped at 1001 which includes other
ideas like gifts and resources, which became Great Dates
and Romantic and Playful Toronto.

Author
promotes Toronto tourism to boost the economy shattered by
SARS outbreak
Romantic
& Playful Toronto
book makes an unexpected comeback.
[Erie, PA] An out-of-print
book,
Romantic & Playful Toronto is suddenly starting to
sell again after 5 years...even while SARS continues to be
a threat to Toronto's tourism industry. Hidden on a speaker
agency web site, Andrea Reynolds' activity guidebook is
suddenly receiving orders.
Romantic
and Playful Toronto is not available on
Amazon.com nor in any book store because it looks more like
a report than a book, but individuals were sending
US $39 by Paypal
($44
from outside
North America) to get a 98 page copy which comes with two
copies of her booklet, 365 Critical Questions You Need to Ask Each
Other Before You Marry. Update:
The e-book
is now available at a greater savings.
"I posted it on a secret page just for meeting planners who
may be organizing conferences and conventions in Toronto
and could hire some of my Toronto based speakers, says
former Toronto freelance broadcaster and Bed &
Breakfast owner, Andrea Reynolds. "How people found the
page is a mystery to me, but that they want to visit
Toronto now delights me. I'm not put off by concerns of
SARS. I want to others to see not only how romantic and
playful Toronto is but how safe it now is."
"Toronto is one of the greatest
cities in the world. Where else could you find a
hospital community that is working beyond human
comprehension to save lives and contain this virus,"
contends Reynolds, "and a government that helps its citizens
financially to voluntarily isolate themselves so they
don't have to make a choice between feeding their
families and doing the right thing by not putting others
at possible risk of infection?"
Having booked Toronto speakers for upcoming Toronto
conferences,
Reynolds offers a free copy to meeting planners who
book her to speak
at a Toronto event. She is planning to return
to professional speaking on the subject of
solutions to crises and building an advice
empire. Some of the orders
are coming from Toronto and the others are coming from
other countries.
