Fledgling author, Edward Bordi, IT executive and longtime romantic, releases his first writing, The Love Letter Handbook, now available on Amazon.com for $16.95. At once, in the first line, Bordi captivates and engages the reader in a heartwarming discussion about love, inspiration and the lost art of love letter writing. Intertwined with wit, emotion and true tales of an illness that challenged love, the handbook offers to turn even the clumsiest of writers into an Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Inspired by his wife, Linda, who battles postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, a chronic illness that took away her independence in the prime of her life, Edward awakened a
cherished but fading tradition. I made a personal commitment to write her frequent letters to add excitement, joy, and happiness to her life, says Bordi, and to refocus our attention on
faith, hope and love.
Bordi stands by Linda, his wife of 16 years and mother of their two young boys, Matthew and Samuel. With heartfelt resolve, Bordi made himself a twofold promise: first, remain steadfast
to uncover a cure; and second, keep Linda smiling despite her burden, while gracing her days with love letters.
Bordi'ss story is not one of adversity but of triumph. Everyday couples endure stress and hardship and far too many split. According to Bordi, there is a solution but few takers. Bordi
hopes The Love Letter Handbook will inspire lovers this holiday season - and everyday - reviving a tradition and generating stacks of love letters across America. The simple gesture can
strengthen your commitment, he says, it'ss a worthy cause to pursue.
Edward and Linda celebrate their 17th wedding anniversary this February 15, 2009, the day after Valentine'ss Day. We'sll keep having them, too, says Bordi, as long as we have breath.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or POTS, a chronic illness of the autonomic nervous system, is characterized by non-stop lightheadedness, dizziness, weakness and extreme
fatigue. A rare disorder that is difficult to detect and understand, it affects about 500,000 Americans, mostly women, usually between the ages of 15 and 50. The symptoms can be life
altering and debilitating at times.
