Buddy Ebsen's "Kelly's Quest" Hits #3 On the L.A. Times Bestseller List!
Beverly Hillbilly Hits Literary "Black Gold" With First Novel Available In
Traditional and E-book formats from 1stBooks Library

Palos Verdes, California -  May 21, 2001 - Buddy Ebsen, best known for his
roles of Jed Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies and the television sleuth
Barnaby Jones, is now a best selling author!  "Kelly's Quest", Mr. Ebsen's

In Kelly's Quest, Kelly, a beautiful, disillusioned girl, flees Hollywood
after her quick temper costs her a job as a stagehand.  After being clobbered
because she dares to stand up for herself in a man's world, Kelly searches
for a man that will make her feel like a woman.  There is a list of men in
her life that she has been involved with in some manner: Father Hennesy, her
minister, Noel De Lacey, sensitive young film maker, Jerry, the millionaire
who mistook her for a hooker, Jack Slade, a "bad guy," and finally Gary
Hunnicutt, a young Montana cowboy, who qualifies in every way as her 'Mr.
Right.'

While Ebsen became famous for his roles as Jed Clampett and Barnaby Jones, he

Ebsen also has recently extended his creative talents into the world of
painting.  He was recently featured in the November 16 edition of the Los

While there, he majored in Scholastic Philosophy, and upon completion of his doctoral studies,  returned to teach in the Connecticut seminary where he prepared for the  priesthood.

Walk A Mile In My Shoes: Gripping Real Life Stories is available as both a secure electronic download and a quality paperback book from greatunpublished.com.

New Book: MEAT -  by Mark Kilgore (I.S.B.N. 0970536518 (paperback) (I.S.B.N. 097053650X (hardback))

 THE MESSAGE! Do not miss THE MESSAGE! Messages come from messengers. WAKE UP!!! THE MESSAGE of MEAT will INTRIGUE!

MEAT is a highly stimulating & thought-provoking, very unusual new book, brought about by some very special, even paranormal, circumstances (discussed below). It is a journey of introspection: inspirational, spiritual/Christ(ian), art & entertainment! MEAT is a book of many things, a powerful, multipurpose tool. This book holds the keys to truth & wisdom.

It is titled MEAT because there is nourishment here. MEAT sustains, keeps you going. There is food for thought here. The MEAT of the matter: the principle essence of life.

What is the story behind MEAT? It started in 1997, finding the author, Mark Kilgore, unemployed for months, a desperate man. He prayed many times, feverishly, asking for something from God: a sign, a speaking, anything to prove that He was there. There was nothing. . . . . until. . . . .

Sunday, March 16, 1997, 9 a.m. Thoughts began entering Mark's head, as from an outside source. The thoughts & information increased in number, clarity, and complexity. Overwhelmed, senses racing, realizing that it must God, he scrambled for pen & paper. This lasted for 1 full hour, no interruptions. Kilgore never questioned it, never spoke, just allowed it to come, and scribed furiously, recording what he could of this phenomenal event, referred to as THE MESSAGE.

God told our author a great deal, including everything that anybody will ever need to know, soul-wise & spiritually. He said that it was not free, not just for him; it was for everybody: take THE MESSAGE, expand it, as it applies to your life, and as it applies to all. Pass THE MESSAGE on, in the form of a book titled MEAT. God also showed Mark the cover art. Most of the information was not in word form, because words are limiting. Most of the communication was an E.S.P.: the most efficient communication possible! He told Kilgore that he had 7 years to complete the task.

Mark was unable to expand THE MESSAGE into 100 pages without compromising its purity, so MEAT became a 3-part book. Each part stands alone: part 1: THE MESSAGE, part 2: THE POEMS, part 3: THE EXCERPTS (short stories, quotes, theory, other).

Everyone will genuinely identify with this work, being entertained, inspired, and having their brain stimulated in new & powerful ways! Who knows? If a common man can find the necessary elements to facilitate advancement in such a way that the end result is a true 'divine contact' with God, both proving His existence and yielding the most essential and beneficial knowledge possible. . . . . then it must be possible for others who read this book, MEAT, to advance in a similar or even superior manner!

To order or acquire MEAT, you can use AMAZON.COM, or contact any major bookstore. For discounts or additional ordering options, telephone KIL Publishing (below).

To contact the author for interviewing, or for more ordering information/options, telephone KIL Publishing at 314-616-7146, or E-mail to: kilgore31@hotmail.com . Retailers can use the distributor: Ingram Book Company, at 1-800-937-8200.

MEAT is for fulfilling our higher needs, improving the quality of life. We all want to take that next step, to break on through, to evolve into the next level of consciousness. Are you ready? Ready to realize? Ready to redefine

Release Date: July, 2001

            “Carolyn Howard-Johnson paints us a picture of Utah, love,
family, and  
            intolerance in beautiful strokes.   Her elegant prose and eye for
detail takes  
            us on a fascinating journey through Mormon Country.  This is a
story that  
            both teaches and touches.”                               
                        Leora Krygier, Author of   “Breathing Bardot” and
Referee of the LA  
                                County Superior Court

      Mormon Country?  Utah?  Intolerance?   Family?  Why are those subjects
important for your article, your audience?

      1.       Winter Olympic fervor has just begun.  Salt Lake City, will be
in the news as never before.  
      This Is The Place  will give fans an insider’s view of what some
consider a  
        mysterious Place and culture.
      
      2.       Time magazine recently featured genealogy on its cover.  Salt
Lake City is the world center for the study of family history because Mormons
baptize living members, by proxy, for those who have died.  Not since Alex
Haley’s Roots, has this subject held as much interest for the public. 
      This Is The Place is a story about a young journalist who delves into  
         her Mormon heritage and journals her way through prejudice into  
         redemption

      3.       The US Government census statistics are hot off the press. 
The US is more diversified than ever and some are saying that cultural
divisions will become more prevalent. In April Buddhist icons in Afghanistan
were destroyed.  In March a student who had been bullied killed and wounded
peers in Santee, Ca. Unfortunately, we can be certain that these kinds of
events will continue to dominate the news.  
    This Is The Place is a story about how bigotry can hide in the guise of  
      love, family, and community, how it corrodes the souls of those who
      practice it, and how it breeds a backlash in those on whom it is
practiced.

      4.       The rights women fought so hard for in the 60s and 70s are
being eroded. California recently voted to rescind their affirmative action
statutes. US foreign aid was withdrawn from countries that offer family
planning services to its under-classes. Recent studies showed that the gap
between salaries for men and women has improved little since the 50s.
      This Is The Place tells about a young woman’s fight against the   
      transparent ghosts of sexism that were so pervasive, so part of the
status  
      quo that she didn’t know it was an influence in her life.           

      This Is The Place is just plain old good reading.  The Author was born
and raised in Salt Lake City and was a staff writer for The Salt Lake
Tribune. The Los Angeles Daily News called it a quasi memoir.             
           
            
                “It was 3 a.m.  I had to make myself quit reading…”
                                                  Misti Jackson, Author of  
“Help From Above”

At BEA the author will be at the SPAN booth, #3970 and will be signing This
Is The Place on Friday at 4 p.m., Table #4.  A media kit and galleys are
available on request.

CAILLOU HELPS PRESCHOOLERS MAKE SENSE OF THE WORLD;
Chouette Publishing to showcase best-selling Caillou books at BookExpo
America

(MONTREAL – May 2, 2001) – Growing up is not so tough, especially with a
friend like Caillou (pronounced KY-YOU), a lovable and popular four-year-old
boy who reflects the real emotions of children in everyday life. Chouette
Publishing will showcase the best-selling Caillou books at BookExpo America
in McCormick Place in Chicago June 1-3.  Launched in October 2000, Caillou
has already hit #39 on the Barnes & Noble board-books bestseller list for
Caillou Potty.

Chouette Publishing, whose book sales exceed 3 million copies worldwide, has
made a grand entrance into the U.S. market with the launch of several
Caillou series, simultaneous with the premiere of the animated Caillou
series on PBS last September. To date there are five series available in the
United States: Backpack, Kite, North Star, Peek-A-Boo, and Compass. While at
Ed Expo, Chouette will provide a preview of the new books and series being
released in 2001.

“We are thrilled that the American public has embraced Caillou,” said
Christine L’Heureux, president and publisher of Chouette.

Geared to children from 3 months to 6 years, Caillou is a delightfully fresh
character who really is a “young child’s best friend.” He grows up along
with his readers, bravely encountering the everyday challenges of preschool
life with Mommy and Daddy’s help. Because it’s Caillou’s point of view that
is reflected in each story, not an adult version of a child’s reality,
Caillou is much more like his readers than the characters in many other
books for this age group can be.

Chouette’s philosophy behind Caillou is simple: respect for the child as a
person. To ensure the stories address concerns and conflicts that are
typical of the development of young children and that foster parent-child
interaction, a team of children’s psychologists evaluates every book. The
brightly illustrated books are published in simple language and images; each
relates to one theme, such as bed time, mealtime, daycare, siblings, potty
training, and so on – all subjects that preschoolers discover, try, learn,
or do every day. Caillou’s experiences help children gain needed confidence
in their ability to handle new situations.

Caillou extends beyond the best-selling books to a television show
nationally syndicated by PBS, an interactive companion web site, and videos,
toys, plush toys, clothing, bedding, and dinnerware associated with the
lovable character. This makes Caillou a growing empire that has been
compared to Arthur and Barney.

Chouette Publishing will be in booth #3217 at BEA.

About Chouette Publishing
Founded by Christine L’Heureux in 1987, Chouette Publishing has published
more than 50 books in eight separate series, aimed at children ages three
months through six years. The Caillou books are multiple award-winners,
earning the Sceau d’excellence (Seal of Excellence) from the Association des
consommateurs du Québec, being named an Our Choice selection by the Canadian
Children’s Book Centre, and garnering a Mr. Christie’s Book Award.

The Caillou Books:

Kite series (ages 9 months and up)
The Kite books encourage communication between parent and child at the time
when the words babies are learning begin to replace their physical ways of
expression. This series deliberately has minimal detail to help a baby focus
on the simple illustrations.

Peek-A-Boo series (ages 18 months and up)
This series is designed to enhance child development in three ways: to
broaden vocabulary, to develop fine motor skills, and to introduce children
to new and stimulating concepts. Each book asks a number of very simple
questions; using the clues to guess the answers, and finding the answers by
peeking under the flaps, children have fun while they learn.

Compass series (ages 2 and up)
The themes in the Compass series reflect Caillou’s and readers’ growth, and
correspond to appropriate stages of child development  — Caillou encounters
new situations, helping children to understand and express their feelings
while encouraging parents to talk to their children about these new
emotions.

North Star series (ages 3 and up)
As Caillou takes his first steps into the wider world and begins to
understand his environment, the North Star books encourage personal growth
and confidence by teaching children about themselves, familiar situations,
and the challenges they might encounter in their daily lives.

Backpack series (ages 3 and up)
Children rediscover the adventures they’ve seen in the animated PBS series
in this TV tie-in collection. Caillou continues his discovery of life as he
starts to explore the world beyond his home.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Internationally Published Winnipeg Author, Alex Domokos, Releases First
E-book

(Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - March 27 2001) -

"Tell me God! I cry. How many more horrors do we have to experience? But God does not respond to my impertinent challenge."

These stirring words are from The Price of Freedom, Alex Domokos'
autobiography that has just been released in e-book form by e-Publisher
CrossroadsPub.com. Mr. Domokos is a versatile author of poems, short
stories, essays and novels, well as an accomplished sculptor, photographer
and cinematographer. He currently has five books in publication in his
native Hungary and his works have been part of several Anthologies of
Canadian-Hungarian authors.  The Price of Freedom is his first e-book.

Although Mr.  Domokos is published in Hungary he found the print market in
North America to be difficult to break into.  "I've found the North American
markets to be dominated by several big names.  It's difficult for mid-list
authors to be taken on by the large houses.  A friend encouraged me to try
e-publishing and I'm pleased to say that that suggestion has resulted in a
very satisfying association with CrossroadsPub.com."

What the reviewers are saying about The Price of Freedom:  "This fine book
tells of man's struggle against his most fearsome enemy - his own kind. It
is a story of man's frailty and vulnerability. At the same time, it is the
story of man's greatness - how he can confront a long series of torments,
endure and emerge with his essential soul and decency intact."

Visit the author's website at http://www.adomokos.homestead.com    to view his
Bio, and excerpts from his autobiography: The Price of Freedom.  I have
prepared several media kits regarding Mr. Domokos and e-publishing as a
whole.  You may contact me to arrange an interview with Mr. Domokos or to
receive a media kit.

The novels "The Price of Freedom" and
"Prometheus" ARE NOW AVAILABLE at:

March Press Release: THE CIRCLE OF HEALING

Stress, alienation, and illness result from living out of balance with nature, according to Cathy Holt, author of The Circle of Healing: Deepening Our Connections with Self, Others, and Nature. Symptoms may be the body’s way of communicating with us. The key to health is listening respectfully to the messages constantly being offered by our bodies, our inner selves, other people, and the natural world. Drawing on the wisdom of indigenous cultures, poets, and spiritual traditions, The Circle of Healing reminds us of the power of the circle, a acred symbol of wholeness. Whether it is a circle of friends, a self-help group, a council circle, or a medicine wheel bounded by the four directions, circles connect us to one another and to a larger world.

Holt's insights grew out of her work as a biofeedback therapist with injured and stressed clients at clinics in Berkeley and Oakland and from her own many-layered experiences including imagery work, support circles, and vision questing. Spending time in nature brought home to her the deep link  between the health of the Earth and our own health. Her personal healing process involved not only working with physical symptoms but also struggling to overcome judgment and self-blame. The book is full of intriguing, often humorous stories and thought-provoking exercises. Cathy Holt is a holistic health educator with a Master's in Public Health from the University of California at Berkeley. A biofeedback therapist for fourteen years, she co-authored Creating Wholeness (Plenum, 1993). An ecological activist, she contributes to EarthLight magazine and teaches in an afterschool solar energy education program. Cathy lives in the Hanover Ecovillage, an experimental  neighborhood community in Oakland.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

BookZone And Specialty Books Forge ePublishing Alliance


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Web publishing experts and ePublishing services
provider BookZone, Inc. has reached an agreement with textbook
distributor Specialty Books to provide its 58 online university clients
with learning materials in digital formats for secure distribution to
administrations, faculties and students.

Specialty Books was the first company of its kind to offer textbook
distribution for students enrolled in distance learning programs and
those pursuing non-traditional degrees. "This tremendously exciting
transition into ePublishing represents a major step forward in our
commitment to continue to meet the new and anticipated demands of the
institutions served by Specialty Books," says Andrew Herd, Director
of Business Development for Specialty Books.

The company will be using BookZone's new EDGE(tm) ("Electronic Document
Generation and Encryption") system to provide its affiliated
universities with a fully integrated ePublishing program that offers
compatible software, security and ease of encryption, and the capacity
to work with and convert multiple formats. "Working with Specialty
Books is a wonderful opportunity for us at BookZone to further explore
what I fully believe is proving to be one of the most pertinent and
immediate applications of the ePublishing technology -- its role in
education," explains Mary Westheimer, CEO of BookZone.

For more than 15 years, Specialty Books has been providing distance-
learning students with textbooks, study guides, course packs, audio,
video and CD-based educational materials, lab kits, and collegiate
apparel. "The addition of ePublishing services is one more innovation
that allows us to continue to remain at the forefront of our
industry," says Herd.

"We opted to partner with BookZone," Herd adds, "because they offered,
in one stroke, a complete turnkey solution, a proven mode of operation,
and above all, a courteous, knowledgeable staff that unstintingly gave
advice, support and assistance from my first inquiry through to the
presentation stage to one of our major client institutions."

In launching their ePublishing services, Specialty Books put their
system through a detailed testing phase by also having BookZone assist
in developing a series of pilot ePublishing materials, including
digital workbooks and a study guide for one of Specialty Books' major
clients, Excelsior College. Excelsior (formerly Regents College) has
focused on distance learning programs for more than 30 years, and now
serves more than 17,000 distance learners in every U.S. state as well
as in several countries.

Like other distance education institutions, Excelsior has found that,
in the past, getting printed materials to their students quickly,
reliably and inexpensively has been a challenge. This is particularly
true where international borders are involved; students living
overseas have often reported shipping delays of several weeks or even
months. ePublishing provides the solution to these concerns by
enabling students to access study materials through the Internet,
quickly, easily and without experiencing shipping delays.

Beyond its convenience and immediacy, ePublishing may offer an even
greater benefit to distance learners. "Downloading materials directly
to their computer enables students to start studying while their
motivation is still high," observes Dr. David Brigham, Dean of
Learning Services at Excelsior College. "I expect ePublishing to help
our students achieve their goal of degree completion."

Specialty Books' Andrew Herd agrees with the value of ePublishing's
role in the future of distance learning. "We are fortunate to be able
to take advantage of the collective experience and wisdom of the
BookZone staff in this effort to make ePublishing an integral part of
our mission to support the teaching and learning activities of
distance education," observes Herd.

"In our book," he adds, "BookZone gets a perfect score!"
