Stereotypical Expectations of 'Internet Love' Ring False... True Love Story and Travel Documentary with Original Photographs and Artwork Demonstrate How Compelling Such Communications Can Be
Book Provides Intimate Examination of The Joys and Challenges of a Cross-Cultural Courtship and Marriage in Both English and Spanish

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Internet Love: How I Met My Wife chronicles the journey of two ordinary people in two different countries who courted via the Internet for nine months and then married, only to discover they needed to learn each other's languages and cultures to make a true union.

Author Dennis Cleasby is a world traveler, artist, musician, and photographer who asked a friend from Colombia if she had any single companions in her home country. Enter Diana Marcela, who has dual masters' degrees, gave up two careers, and left Colombia for the "land of milk and honey" in the pursuit of love. The climate and cultural changes were nearly enough to cause her retreat, yet in the spirit of Valentines Day, love prevails.

Replete with insider tips such as using a translation program is not the best way to interpret love letters and that introductory photographs do not always work as a means of attraction, Dennis reaffirms that finding true love came as a result of persistence, blind faith, and tremendous risk-taking.

With the tone and authenticity of journal entries, the author describes his yearning to find his soul mate, their long-distance Internet dating, his journey to Colombia to meet her, their marriage, the legal paper-chase, and their subsequent travels in the United States and abroad. As the intricacies of life intervene they meet one another's family and friends, and this network of characters blossoms into a real-life global family.
