Broadcasted live by more than 85 stations across America, the program is widely regarded as one of the top syndicated radio programs. It is also webcast live at Talk America’s Radio Network 2.

"Marty is becoming a valued commodity," comments Dead End Street^SM CIO Ivan R. Black. "This booking represents a significant step in our efforts to promote Dead End Street^SM authors. But it’s only the beginning. We have big things in store for the company and its authors."

A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS is a spiritual novel inspired by an ancient Jewish legend that relates how God, throughout all of history, has placed among us thirty-six righteous people... three dozen human beings, each of whom "knows the divine will." Should humanity ever seek to know the will of God, there must always be thirty-six of them among us.

Suzanne Rosewell is a Wall Street lawyer, the youngest female partner in the history of her prestigious firm. She’s a strong, driven woman with the will to succeed and a head start on her chosen path. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals... until she meets Elias Garner, the enigmatic black Jazz musician, who carries an ancient trumpet made of gold and represents the even more furtive "Chairman" (whom we learn is "the head of the most powerful corporation on earth").

Elias asks Suzanne to put aside her career and attempt to find "the five missing righteous ones." Through a series of mystical happenings, all of which seem to involve Elias, Suzanne decides to accept the quest, and begins the odd journey from New York City to the Black Hills of South Dakota to a holy Native American shrine and back to New York again.

Suzanne is not without opposition. Elizabeth Luckholt, a woman described as the "opposite" of Elias in the great, unnamed corporation, is determined to see Suzanne fail. Seated at the left hand of the Chairman, Luckholt’s self interest would be served by this result. And she’ll use every ounce of the resources at her disposal to ensure Suzanne’s failure. In addition, Suzanne faces a deadline set by the Chairman himself. Without 36 names on the list, it appears that the world itself cannot exist beyond the sunrise.

About the Company:

Founded in 1997 by Ivan R. Black, John P. Rutledge and Fred M. Straughn, the company was originally named Dead End Street Publications, LLC. But, upon filing its servicemark with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, the company changed its name to Dead End Street^SM to maximize the value of its servicemark. It has grown from a pioneer in the electronic publishing industry to a leader in the field. The company recently teamed with NuvoMedia, among others, to sponsor the first ever electronic publishing convention, ReBA-Con 2000 – the wildly successful industry gathering held June 17th and 18th at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Warf Marriott Hotel. Dead End Street^SM banners and promotional materials were displayed prominently throughout the much trafficked convention site, and its flyers were in almost everyone’s hands. Company officials drew large crowds to their panel discussions, and everyone was talking about Dead End Street^SM.

Dead End Street^SM is truly the prototype of a "branded" business. Synonymous with originality and high quality, the company is recognized as a prominent member of an industry still in its infancy. It has an extremely strong business model and intellectual property foundation. Its current stable contains authors with print publishing credits that include Random House, Dell, Harcourt-Brace and Greenwood/Praeger. Clearly, the world is becoming one big Dead End Street^SM.
