HARRISBURG, PA -- April 27, 2001 -- A new e-book web site, deadwithilsa.com, operates very much like a coming attraction for a movie. The site promotes the novel, Dead with Ilsa, and provides readers with a virtual companion piece to the e-book.

The site offers readers an intimate perspective of the novel through games, a chat room, character illustrations, an essay competition with a prize for the winner, a free sample chapter, reader reviews, and a fan club with a free screensaver. The information, media, and interactivity is available to readers before purchasing and downloading the novel from the site (for $6.95).

Dead with Ilsa is a dark, futuristic, sometimes-humorous journey through the afterlife of Aimels Johnson in an alien-inhabited city called Graymin," says its author Josh Petroski, 28, who is an actor based in Baltimore, MD. Opposing influences combine to create a conflict between good and evil. In the end, as Graymin evolves into a murderous and hateful land, Aimels must choose between the two."

The site was designed and developed by Joshs brother, Andy Petroski, 30, a multimedia developer.

This is the DVD of Internet publishing," says Andy Petroski. The site provides preview information about the novel and an entertainment value for both readers and non-readers. We incorporate animation, graphics, and sound unlike anything we have seen for an online e-book."

Both brothers left their jobs last year to pursue separate entrepreneurial paths, but worked together to create the site for the e-book. Josh is now devoted to a full-time career as an actor and author, while Andy has started an Internet and multimedia design company.
