Three time cancer survivor tells his story in new book GOTTA LIVE!

New book by rising star Ian Howard recounts how he overcame dreaded diseases three times.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT, FL (PRWEB) June 13, 2004 -- The Lighthouse Press Inc., of Lighthouse Point, Florida announces the release of GOTTA LIVE, a personal account about beating death three times by rising celebrity Ian Howard.

Ian Howard survived two life-threatening bouts with cancer AND encephalitis of the brain, while going on to appear in television's Miami Vice, a Johnny Depp movie and numerous magazines articles.

"In comparison to the life Ian has lived perhaps the least important element of his resume is our publishing of his autobiography, Gotta Live," said Lighthouse Press publisher Ron Richard. "But for the rest of the world, this book is an achievement of hope and inspiration. Ian's book is not just a story of victory over the trials of life, but rather it is a story of victory over death--three times."

The Lighthouse Press has received laudatory reviews of advanced copies of Gotta Live from the likes of former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach, Producer Dick Clark, People Magazine, fashion mogul Calvin Klein and others.

Gotta Live is now available through bookstores -- both online and bricks-and-mortar -- everywhere. For more information, readers and booksellers are invited to visit the Publishers website at www.TheLighthousePress.com and the authors website at www.IanHoward.net.
