Self-Published Christian Author Pegged for National TV Documentary Author Unlocks Pyramid Mystery in Xulon Press Book

Self-published author gains national notoriety for his book.

LONGWOOD, FL (PRWEB) December 2, 2005 -- Xulon Press announces the acquisition of worldwide TV/DVD rights to the bestselling book The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse, written by Patrick Heron. Grizzly Adams Productions, Inc. (GAP), producers of family-friendly network television shows, plans to produce an investigative TV/DVD program based on Heron’s book, examining the dire predictions of mankind's end, as stated in the Bible and other sources, plus take a look at the mega-disasters befalling the world during recent years.

In his book author Patrick Heron examines end-times prophecies and whether the days of human existence on earth are numbered. The Nephilim, and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse ($13.99, 1-594678-94-4) has been at the top of Amazon.com's “Prophecy Best-Sellers” list since February 2005, in the “Top Ten” overall list, and spent time at the top of the "Religion and Spirituality," "Theology," and "The Bible" bestseller lists.

“It’s exciting to see a self-published author gain national notoriety for his book,” said Tom Freiling, president and CEO of Xulon Press, Inc., a print-on-demand publisher in Central Florida that helps Christian authors get published. “This is proof that writers can take control of their future success as authors and bypass the traditional method of publishing.”

David W. Balsiger, vice president of GAP, said the TV program based on Heron’s book will paint a new and different picture of end-times prophecies, unveiling connections Heron has discovered between Nephilim (giant fallen angels referred to in Genesis 6:4), the pyramids, and end times. "It will also examine what is believed to be the newly discovered role of America in end-times prophecies, an area that has been largely neglected by previous biblical scholars," Balsiger said.

Grizzly Adams Productions (GAP), named after its long-running NBC Network TV series The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, produces "Sweeps Weeks" TV specials and series for the PAX-TV Network and major cable channels. During the past 30 years, GAP producers Charles E. Sellier and David W. Balsiger have created more than 500 family-friendly TV specials and series for NBC, CBS, PAX, Discovery, The Learning Channel, and other networks.

Patrick Heron has B.S. and M.A. degrees in business studies from Trinity College, Dublin, and a Bachelor of Theology degree. He owns and runs his own company in Dublin, where he lives with his family.
