Real Life Kismet - Chance Meetings That Tied the Knot

Author's Own Chance Meeting Leads to Anthology of Stories About Finding Love When Least Expected

BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Jan Newman knows first hand that a chance meeting can change a life. As a freshman in college, her last minute decision to attend the Chancellor's Tea brought her face-to-face with the man she would marry. Over the last thirty-plus years of married bliss she has become an advocate of chance meetings.

As a nationally renowned focus group moderator she has uncovered hundreds of chance meetings that have led to marriage. She has compiled 24 of them in Chance Meetings that Tied the Knot ($17.95, Newman Group) Available in book stores and online at http://www.chancemeetingsthattiedtheknot.com/ or http://www.mychancemeeting.com/ .

"Some are simple stories about meeting one's soulmate at the post office, ATM or copier machine at work. Other stories have more complex serendipitous settings," says Newman, whose expertise is getting people to reveal their innermost thoughts, dreams and ideals.

Known for her question, "How did you two meet?" Newman, shares 24 chance meeting stories from couples living happily ever after.

At the core of this book is a heightened awareness that in our everyday lives, love is often found when least expected.

"Use these stories to uplift your spirit, or guide you toward the path of love," she says.

She has selected stories that make you smile, for hopeless romantics, and for those who have already found the love of their life.

"These stories range from what happens in a 50-floor descent in an elevator to a nun's first day upon exiting the convent," says Newman.

Newman offers lessons to be learned about life at the conclusion of each story.

"Be open to chance because surprising things can happen," says Newman. "Do the unexpected, don't have a routine but always do the things you love because you'll find people along the way who look at life the same way you do."

Newman is dedicated to building her franchise and would love to see a TV series styled after these "How Did You Two Meet" stories. She has developed a website for collecting new stories of happily ever afters. Anyone is welcome to submit at http://www.mychancemeeting.com/ .
