FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Publishing Newswire Announces the recent release of Riley Rose’s Books, “The Scintillate Seed to Vela Kurv,” & “The Wiles of Vela Kurv” for Q1/2009. A Time For Change Has Come, like our new President, Barack Obama, Vela characters are also multiracial Published: Fri, 5 Feb 2009, 08:07 EDT LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A Time for Change Has Come. Author, Riley Rose has created multiracial heroes in her books’ “The Scintillate Seed to Vela Kurv” and “The Wiles of Vela Kurv” released this first quarter of 2009. Like President Barack Obama, Riley Rose’s stories beg the question, what if we lived in a world where race didn’t matter? These works are new and interesting books which could be missed due to not originating from "big name" authors, or major New York book publishing houses. “The Scintillate Seed to Vela Kurv” is Part I of the Vela Kurv Legacy. Part II – “The Wiles of Vela,” will be released on February 7 th , 2009, look out for it (www.thewilesofvelakurv.com ). Vela Kurv Legacy explores two strong themes, betrayal and death. Initially designed to market to a market between the ages of 18 – 25, the age bracket dropped in the book’s rewrites, to age 15, with high school sophomores leading the target range. The works cut with that unusual double-edged sword-they will appeal to the age group of high school students yet they also have enough emotional redeeming value to appeal to their parents. This legacy story goes to great lengths to make sure the unfolding drama turns the pages of both books, as well as the voice. Readers who enjoy whole new worlds of action-adventure and science fiction like would find this tale an easy but absorbing read. Creating a world where race wasn’t issue, and only the content of each character’s character is all that’s considered, was important to the author’s vision of her whole new world, the world of Vela Kurv: www.velakurvworld.com . The books can be purchased through all of the major online services such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble; but for best pricing, simply click on the provided links: www.thescintillateseedtovelakurv.com/ , www.thewilesofvelakurv.com/ and purchase at a discount directly from the publisher. The concept to use “Dolls as Actor Stand-Ins” was a graphic decision, due to the genre and the market segment. Riley Rose wanted to create an original twist on similar ideas from the past that haven’t been done in a long time; she drew from the likes of Dare Wright and her “Lonely Doll” stories. The visuals also appeal to markets such as those that patronize comic books and Manga stories: www.darewright.com/ . Riley Rose studied at UCLA’s Writers Program. Riley Rose (www.rileyrose.net ) has completed science fiction writing projects under the review of Ron Wilkerson, staff and freelance writer for Stargate SG-1, Star Trek Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek TNG. She has also completed work doing story analysis, evaluating screenplays, and other literary properties under the supervision of Barney Lichtenstein, former story analyst for Amblin Entertainment, New Line Cinema, and Largo Entertainment.

Executive Summary and Proposal Forecast On The Wiles of Vela Kurv and the Vela Kurv Legacy Story

The “time for change has come,” borrowing a phrase from our country’s new President, Barrack H. Obama; the tide of change is actually here, now is an appointed time, an aligned time that has been identified by the change in political climate. As our country now embraces a multiracial President, so is the hero of The Wiles of Vela Kurv also multiracial. The Wiles of Vela Kurv is Part II of a book series written by Riley Rose called The Vela Kurv Legacy. Both books have been released for publication and are entitled The Scintillate Seed to Vela Kurv and The Wiles of Vela Kurv. Both books embrace both diversified and multiracial characters. Curvy Chick Productions is Riley Rose’s (www.rileyrose.net) production company. Curvy Chick Productions (www.curvychickproductions.com) is a start-up enterprise engaged in the development and production of motion picture films for theatrical release. Curvy Chick Productions’ current feature is The Wiles of Vela Kurv. This feature release will be tied to a book of national release entitled the same. The goal is to make films like The Wiles of Vela Kurv that will focus on diversity casting in the films produced as well as both above and below the line production crews. The Company plans to produce The Wiles of Vela Kurv with at least another one to two sequels, over the next three to five years, with a budget ranging from $20 to $50 million. As diversity bleeds into every market segment in the country, so must it bleed into various forms of media including film and books. The Wiles of Vela Kurv promotes a bi-racial (half African American and half white American) super hero that is also a strong female protagonist, such a super hero will appeal to the likes of other minority and/or diversified actors having portrayed such roles and leading to box office record breaking numbers like the likes of Will Smith (Independence Day, I Robot, I Am Legend, & Hancock), Angelina Jolie (Laura Croft, Cradle of Life and Laura Croft, Tomb Raider), Halle Berry (Catwoman), and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld and Underworld: Evolution). These actors have delivered record breaking box office sales and for those whose box office receipts may have been lacking, VHS/DVD Rentals greatly contributed to the grand total gross profit. Thus audiences want to see the same diversity in their heroes that they see in themselves in the mirror every day.

Cmdr. Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) during a time of racial discrimination in the United States, it was also the precursor to the tides of change brought on by the civil rights movement of the 60’s. Recently, box office records have been unexpected yet recorded as evidence to their appeal to audiences wanting to see female leads on the screen like the aforementioned Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, and Kate Beckinsale. Others include Charlize Theron (Aeon Flux), Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four), and Linda Hamilton (Terminator and Terminator 2). Such will be the case with The Wiles of Vela Kurv, this will only lend to the viability of the book, as well.

SUBSIDIARY-RIGHTS POSSIBILITIES & SPIN-OFF OR SEQUEL CONSIDERATIONS

Additionally, the story of The Wiles of Vela Kurv, presents the viability of sequel storytelling. Other marketing franchise opportunities are being considered for viability and profitability: such as a graphic novel and/or a comic book series. The book will also be released as a marketing enticement on a chapter by chapter basis in an internationally distributed magazine: Exotic Adventure & Travel Magazine or EAT. This magazine is distributed by Curtis Magazine Circulation Company, which also distributes Newsweek, Forbes, Elle, and Maxim. The magazine can be purchased at all major newsstands both domestically and internationally. Curvy Chick Productions features its own website: www.curvychickproductions.com which also features The Scintillate Seed to Vela Kurv and The Wiles of Vela Kurv. The website serves as a marketing tool and will be utilized for updated information on both featured sequels of The Vela Kurv Legacy. Currently, the Vela Kurv Legacy story ends with the nemesis still alive and awaiting revenge, the story offers many avenues for drama development going forward. The books have an A, B, C, and, D storyline. All of which can be furthered developed and elaborated on for sequel books.

The Film and The Books

Curvy Chick Productions owns the options on Riley Rose’s screenplay and books. It has first refusal on sequels and/or publications of the original story. The books have been published; the film is under consideration by a prospective director with notable experience in the science fiction genre. The movie and book, whose adventures make for entertaining stories, incorporate a strong moral lesson. Curvy Chick Productions expects each work to stand on its own and to produce profits to finance each successive film/project. The script and books are designed to capture the interest of the entire family within the target market, building significantly as the work solidifies a base market.

Marketing Approach – Synopsis & Treatments SYNOPSIS The film and book’s target market is young to middle aged audiences who have responded to such motion pictures as Laura Croft the Tomb Raider, Laura Croft the Cradle of Life, Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Sin City, and Catwoman. Initially designed to market to a market between ages 18 – 25, the age bracket has dropped to age 14, with high school freshman leading the target range. The story cuts with that unusual double-edged sword-it appeals to high school students yet also has enough emotional redeeming value to appeal to their parents. While containing marketable mystiques including action/adventure and some romance, The Vela Kurv Legacies’ most redeeming qualities are the characters and the voices they yield. It hits on some contemporary issues, but these science fiction tales are different from others in that their essential purpose is not to examine issues and moralize (from which older teens shy away), they simply tell stories-uncovering mysteries-with real life as a steely backdrop. The motion picture may also have significant appeal to international markets that often show strong demand for American action packed thrillers. Additionally, the film and the books will garner their own enormous buzz simply from the female hero portrayed from a diverse cast in such a high quality work. The producers shall pursue name talent to star in the film, due to the attractiveness of the excellent roles written for women and villains. The concept to use “Dolls as Actor Stand-Ins” was a graphic decision, due to the genre and the market segment. Riley Rose wanted to create an original twist on similar ideas from the past that haven’t been done in a long time; she drew from the likes of Dare Wright and her “Lonely Doll” stories: www.darewright.com/. The visuals also appeal to markets such as those that patronize comic books and Manga stories. Although preliminary casting inquiries are being made, formal casting will not begin until the motion picture is capitalized. TREATMENTS

The Wile of Vela Kurv is a seductive, science fiction tale of the struggle for the survival of the planet Earth. As a secret agent, a girl becomes a woman. She investigates how to fight against invading aliens. During the hunt, a deal is struck to kill her, but only after the completion of her mission. Her maturation and battle culminates into a passionate love affair. She uncovers her betrayers, she sees, understands, and appreciates who she is for the very first time. Though she saves Earth and herself in the process, the villain that plots to kill her, gets away.

Management Team

At the core of Curvy Chick Productions are the founders, who bring to the Company successful entrepreneurial experience and in-depth expertise in motion picture production. The team is complemented by a support group of consultants and advisers.

The Market The past ten years have seen a dramatic shift in audience film viewership and film sales. While the history of filmmaking and distribution has always solely been the purview of the major film studios such as Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, the beginning of the new century has focused on independent filmmaking as a viable alternative to the generally indistinguishable studio fluff. Major independent studios have not only appeared, but have prospered with significant profits from such films as Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, The Full Monty, Boys Don’t Cry, Shakespeare in Love and Sling Blade. Many film festivals, such as the annual Sundance Film Festival in Utah, attract big studio buyers for the showcased independent films. The Major film studios have become more fixated on creating predictable blockbuster movies with enormous budgets. Therefore, they have come to rely more and more on independent film production houses for the high-quality, interesting, and unique fare. Curvy Chick Productions plans to make optimum use of this shift in consumer preference toward more independent and stimulating film fare, films that would embrace a diversified cast representing the population of all peoples that live on the planet earth. Actors such as Will Smith (I Am Legend), Angelina Jolie (Laura Croft, Cradle of Life and Laura Croft, Tomb Raider), Halle Berry (Catwoman), and Kat Beckinsale

(Underworld and Underworld: Evolution), are just a few of the actions heroes that are changing the face of film on the big screen. The company will produce high quality, independent sci-fi action/adventure, romance, and thriller films that challenge viewers to re-evaluate their priorities and belief patterns, while entertaining them. The film will also enjoy significant profit margins due to the consumer preference for this market, and the talent and experience behind The Wiles of Vela Kurv.
