NORFOLK -- Author Sanyo Bond of Norfolk aims to guide people who search for love online with the nationwide release of her new book, “Finding True Love Online.”

“Finding True Love Online” notes that recent research suggests that 20 percent of people seeking dates use the Internet to help them connect to another date seeker.

"Online dating can be a chore," writes publicist Michelle Whitman in her press release on the book. "It can be riddled with pitfalls, but it does not need to be. This book offers a non-flippant approach to dating online and acts as a guide for those who wish to find and keep that special someone."

This book, released Tuesday, is a follow-up to Sanyo Bond's 2010 book, "A Serious Guide to a Successful Online Relationship: Based on Real-Life Experience."

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Bond was born in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. She migrated to America to pursue higher education. She now lives in Norfolk with her husband and son.
