Radio Personality Rick Dees Captivated by ANGELS!

COMPANY PRESS RELEASE HOQUIAM, WA – 22 February 2001: Dead End Street^SM is pleased to announce that Frankfurt eBook Award Nominee Marty Gallanter has secured booking on one of the most popular radio shows in America – The Rick Dees Top 40 Show – to discuss his best selling book A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS. Syndicated to more than 35 radio stations in the United States, The Rick Dees Top 40 show is heard by more than 30 million people each week.

Excited about the increased visibility, Dead End Street^SM CIO Ivan R. Black said "We are gratified to see the continued and evolving interest in Marty’s book. It is truly an astonishing story that imparts an array of important messages. We are excited to see what the future holds for us."

About A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS:

Reviewed by the US Times Bestseller List as "a true pleasure to read" and "nothing short of thrilling", A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS is a spiritual novel inspired by the Biblical tale of 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". Humanity cannot redeem itself without these thirty-six righteous ones.

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 determination 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 in an effort 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 The Big Apple again.

Her efforts are not without opposition. Elizabeth Luckholt, a woman described as the "opposite" of Elias in the great, unnamed corporation, is seated at the left hand of the Chairman. Her upwardly mobile ambitions would be well served if Suzanne failed. In addition, Suzanne faces a deadline set by the Chairman himself. Without thirty-six names on the list, it appears that the world itself cannot exist beyond the sunrise
