STAR THROWER PUBLISHING, located on the WWW at:

http://ezinfo.ucs.indiana.edu/~mmain/index.html (NETSCAPE 2.0+) &
http://ezinfo.ucs.indiana.edu/~mmain/index3.html (OTHER BROWSERS)

is pleased to announce a prominent and favorable review of one of its
authors' electronic books by the journalist/reviewers of one of the WWW's
premiere search services, EXCITE!

EXCITE! --in late May, 1996-- has just linked to STAR THROWER and author
Michael D. Main's novel "Apollo" from their noted NET DIRECTORY section:
ARTS > BOOKS > AUTHORS > AUTHORS I-P.

EXCITE's arts reviewers invite WWW literature seekers to:

"Sample "Apollo - An American Life" by Michael D. Main. It's a prose
work-in-progress and perhaps with your help and input, it's also the next
great American novel. Blue background adds to the lushness of the writing."

STAR THROWER PUBLISHING, founded January 1996 on the WWW by IAC/NEA
award-winning Editor/Publisher Michael D. Main, is working to achieve
national recognition as a progressive electronic literary web site. The
non-profit, exclusively electronic publishing house provides a forum for
original topical essays, autobiographical innovations, and multi-media
narrative culled from accomplished and select literary voices.

In addition to the Editor's own "Apollo" --an account of an "emotionally
challenged" family growing up together in the Midwestern suburbs of
1950s-60s America-- STAR THROWER has also published the graphic narrative
art of Mark Beebe. Beebe's compelling visions are along the lines of noted
graphic narrative masters Harvey Pekar and the Fernandez brothers. Jolon
DeLeury has also published several vignette narratives in 1996.

The WWW's BOOKS A-TO-Z has linked to STAR THROWER from its own "Neat Sites"
page, stating in its review: "Star Thrower is still new ... but definately
worth watching." STAR THROWER provides a progressive links page ("Future
Directions In Electronic Literature") to other literary sites of unusual
merit, and is itself currently linked to from over 35 major Literary, Search
Provider, and Who's Who / Directory sites on the web. STAR THROWER's
multimedia design makes progressive use of fast-loading .jpeg graphics, Java
Script, Netscape 3.0 extensions, and Internet Explorer marquees.
