If You Like Court TV's Haunted Evidence, You'll Love The Search for the Million $$$ Ghost
If you've ever wondered if ghosts exist, wonder no more as the writing team of Heide Kaminski, Pamela Lawniczak and Dorothy Thompson prove ghosts are very much alive and could be right in front of you and you wouldn't even know it in their new bestselling
A news release or event announcement        

Paranormal lovers and ghost hunters who flock to the TV to watch "Haunted Evidence," a reality show that takes the paranormal/crime-solving phenomenon one step further by following psychic profiler Carla Baron, medium John J. Oliver and paranormal investigator Patrick Burns as they find clues that will provide new insights into real-life cases that have gone cold, thrive on watching investigators and psychics unearth these clues. Such is the premise of a new paranormal mystery, "The Search for the Million $$$ Ghost," written by the writing team of Heide Kaminski, Pamela Lawniczak and Dorothy Thompson, in which six women embark on a ghost hunt of a lifetime. The bounty? One million dollars to anyone who can prove that ghosts exist. "Although this book is fictional, it is actually based on a true story of a millionaire's search for proof of the afterlife in which he was willing to give away a million dollars for this proof," says Dorothy Thompson, a special clairsentient and author from Virginia. "In real life, no one has been able to claim the million dollars; but in our book, that proof is found." Heide AW Kaminski, a clairaudient from Michigan, agrees. "I believe this book has the makings of movies such as 'The Others', 'Sixth Sense' and 'Ghost'. There is humor, suspense and the lingering question, 'Could this really happen?'" "The Search for the Million $$$ Ghost" can be purchased through Mardi Gras Publishing, Barnes & Noble or your favorite bookstore. It will be available soon at Amazon.com. For additional information about the authors, you can visit the book's website at http://www.milliondollarghost.homestead.com or visit the book's blog at http://www.thesearchforthemilliondollarghost.blogspot.com. go there (offsite link)

David Stodghill To Begin Filming New Show in the Charlotte, NC Area
David Stodghill brings a new educational children's show to the southeast starting in 2007.
A news release or event announcement        

"Think of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood but this time a child plays the part of Mr. Rogers," said the show's creator David Stodghill. "By creating a show specifically tailored to different age ranges, parents can find shows their children will want to watch regardless of their age. This show is exciting and children will learn without even knowing they're learning!" The show is set to release in 2007 and younger children will learn important lessons watching episodes such as "Fire Safety!", "Don't Get Lost!" and "Brush Those Teeth!", while older children can watch shows like "Guitars Are Great!", "Let's Play Soccer!" and "Let's Learn Karate!" This isn't a normal television show as you might think though, children will be able to access the entire show's catalog of episodes via the internet and watch them online or have them delivered to their house. The show's catalog spans hundreds of episodes dealing with everything from learning colors for younger viewers to common issues that many preteens face. The show's star Alexis Stodghill, an actress local to Monroe, NC has appeared in a number of commercials, television shows and even a movie. Asked about her role on the show, the shy 10 year old simply says, "It's a lot of fun to film and the show is really neat and I hope that kids like it." The show is a major production, from burning down a real two story house for the Fire Safety episode, renting helicopters and planes for arial shots to Alexis donning a karate uniform to teach about karate. "We do film in a studio, but we spend more time outdoors with real people then most shows you see on television."
