Marilyn Anderson - Agenda Magazine 's Travel and Entertainment Writer and So Much More! If you've enjoyed reading about Miami and getting an up-front view of Taiwan, then you've been reading Marilyn Anderson's travel and entertainment section in Agenda Magazine. Marilyn, along with co-writer Dennis L. Lanning, has taken us on so many well-chosen excursions. Her column, "Romance on the Road," has helped countless readers find their ideal vacation spot. She has also reviewed some of the best Broadway, off-Broadway, theater, movies, concerts, and benefits. "Dolly Parton, who starred in the original movie and also wrote the lead Grammy-winning song, "Nine to Five," has written both the music and lyrics for the stage version. Parton composed some twenty new songs, everything from rousing production numbers to a romantic ballad. The musical's book was written by Patricia Resnick, who co-wrote the screenplay for the movie." -Marilyn Anderson, Five Fab Femmes Make "9 to 5" Fantastic Fun! - The Travel and Entertainment section debuted in the Holiday 2006 issue. Little did I know at the time that it would turn into such a staple for the magazine. Marilyn does a very thorough review, unrivaled by any I've read. Her colorful, yet accurate descriptions of each excursion leaves me wanting a vacation. In fact, I took a trip to Miami based upon one of her reviews, and it was everything she had described. "Befitting the upscale Noble House chain, our room had a mixture of elegant and interesting touches, including extremely soft and fluffy linens, large screen LED TV and a free standing, claw-foot tub in the bathroom. Opening the optional sliding door gave us a crisp starry view out the bedroom window, while we were soaking in a bub-bub-bubbly tub. Isn't that romantic?" -Marilyn Anderson, Seattle Is for Lovers, Umbrella Optional -

I met Marilyn when I was researching a topic for Agenda 's single women. That search for a dating expert led me to Marilyn, and we featured her in our Winter 2006 issue. Her internationally published book Never Kiss a Frog - A Girl's Guide to Creatures from the Dating Swamp, 
an easy read, was filled with wonderful advice. And ever since, that synergy has been enjoyed by all. Currently, Agenda Magazine 's Agenda Pictures and Never Kiss a Frog Productions are in the process of completing a series of webisodes, bringing to the small screen nine scenarios right out of her book. Marilyn also wrote and co-produced another new comedy webisode series, I Married an Einstein.
