in MILLION DOLLAR film
development deal!
Three of AGoodBook.com's exclusive properties - technothriller KISS HOUSTON GOODBYE,
financial thriller CHUPIK'S CHINESE LAUNDRY and internet adventure story A SIMPLE
MISUNDERSTANDING - have been optioned by a Vancouver B.C. film company for in excess
of $1,000,000. Prompted by the timeliness of the texts, two of these books will go into immediate
development.
This understanding marks another first for Internet publishing. Last year the committee for the
Britain's prestigious Booker Prize listed as a finalist a book that was published only on the Internet.
Here, the film industry is by-passing the delays and editorial quirks of traditional publishing to gain
access to new and fresh ideas on the Internet.
Nevertheless, the principal importance of Internet publishing remains the sharing of ideas and of
removing the power to filter those ideas from the megalithic marketing monstrosities that control most
forms of communication today.

A SIMPLE
MISUNDERSTANDING
by David Lesson
Robert Francis McCoy was an ordinary guy, if an encryption specialist for the National Security Agency can be
considered normal, and then he was kidnapped from the baggage claim area of American Airlines at O'Hare Airport - by mistake.
Faced with the choice between a dangerous escape to his incredibly boring life in Washington . . .and pretending to be the person his captors thought they had captured
McCoy decided to take a trip on the
other guy's ticket. Then his superiors in Washington realized that anything and everything that were going
wrong with national security could now be blamed on their missing code weenie . . .and life became entirely too
hot for Robert Francis McCoy.
Using a network of friends and Internet connections, this code weenie goes on the offensive with
results that
surprise everyone. This adventure/thriller/love-story will keep you amazed from start to finish.
