FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lightning Bug Press Offers Free eBook of Poetry Title

Raleigh, NC -- November 21, 2001: Lightning Bug Press announces that it is distributing the ebook edition of its recent title Talk To Me Like Autumn free of charge. Talk To Me Like Autumn is a collection of poetry by first-time, 19-year-old author Rae Marcus. The ebook is available for download from the Lightning Bug Press website at www.lightningbugpress.com. It can also be downloaded from www.ebookdirectory.com and www.free-ebooks.net.

Rae Marcus is the author of two short plays, Rule Number Eight and How Do You Feel?, performed as student productions. Three of her poems ("Claustrophobia," "Porcelain Doll," and "Choke") were published in her high school literary magazine. This is her first published volume of poetry. She currently attends college in North Carolina, where she also writes for the university newspaper.

"We were very excited to offer Ms. Marcus the opportunity of being published," said Roger Alford, Publisher, Lightning Bug Press. "Since she is a new author, we want to get her book into as many hands as possible and let the work speak for itself. Providing the ebook for free was an excellent way to do this. Since her audience, teens and young adults, are very Internet savvy, allowing people to distribute the book themselves was a perfect fit."

Talk To Me Like Autumn is currently available in paperback from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and through booksellers everywhere.
