Darlene F. Wofford, Atlanta native and author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember," begins her summer book tour Saturday, June 9th at Walden Book Store in Kennesaw, GA. Walden's is located next to Sears on the lower level of Towne Center Mall, 1234 Barrett Parkway, Kennesaw, GA 30144. The author will be greeting guests at the front of the store and signing her novel from 1:00-3:00.
Based on true events in the her life, "An Assignment to Remember" is the first of three novels in Wofford's "Edgewise" series, with the second, "Seven Years 'Til Sunrise," scheduled for release next year, followed by the third in 2009. The term "Edgewise" is used to describe the book's protagonist as a shattered woman in an edgewise state of mind--driven to the edge by back-to-back traumas. However, "An Assignment to Remember" is not as much about the traumatic events as it is about her healing progression and renewed hope, as Mrs. Wofford tells her riveting story through the eyes of her alter-ego, Delaney Rutherford....

FranchiseHelp,Inc., nationally recognized for its leadership in franchise research, analysis and document retrieval, will officially launch its extensive web advertising program at the IFAs 44th Annual International Franchise Convention in Las Vegas (March 6-9). The advertising program is geared to franchisors and suppliers to the franchise industry.
FranchiseHelp believes this is an especially favorable time to launch an online advertising program. In 2003, ad budgets returned to more realistic levels (from negligible budgets) and more advertisers have awakened to the cost-effectiveness of Net marketing. This is especially true for those involved in the franchise industry. In fact, most franchise systems now spend a large portion of their advertising budgets on web advertising, both on their own sites and others like www.franchisehelp.com. This is not surprising," says FranchiseHelps President Mary E. Tomzack, since most franchisors receive an abundance of web-generated leads. Their problem is allotting sufficient time and staff to do a timely follow-up on the franchise leads."... (Continue reading)
Smart Age Media has a very simple philosophy: Coach people how to successfully build their network through leads, and they will become long time clients.

"This will eventually turn into lack of desire to work the business for the new representative if not addressed right away." Said Mike Bromell, Marketing Manager at Smart Age Media....

It's a very different market from the one that existed just 6-12 months ago.
First, some grim facts - subprime loans have now been credited with bankrupting well over 200 mortgage lenders and seriously damaging operations at many major mortgage loan firms. They've reportedly wiped out five hedge funds, tens of thousands of jobs, and have led to millions of foreclosures with millions more on the way. As if that weren't enough, subprime loans are also responsible for massive volatility in the stock, bond, credit, futures, and real estate markets both here in the US and all around the globe. Some analysts say losses in the mortgage securities market could reach hundreds of billions of dollars this year alone.... (Continue reading)
