iUniverse Announces the Release of Michael Mehas’ Explosive Stolen Boy
New Novel Based on Jesse James Hollywood’s Riveting Criminal Case
New York, NY, July 28, 2007 --(PR.com)-- iUniverse, the leading provider of print-on-demand supported self-publishing services, announces the publication of Stolen Boy, a riveting novel by Michael Mehas. Stolen Boy was inspired by the youngest man ever to appear on the FBI’s Most Wanted List: Jesse James Hollywood.
Stolen Boy is a haunting psychological journey through the lives of teens struggling with impending adulthood. Mehas climbs into their young minds––by returning to his own days as a troubled teen growing up in Southern California––for three wild days of kidnapping, partying and ultimately, tragedy.
Michael Mehas based his work of fiction on his relentless research, unprecedented exploration into confidential case files and crucial interviews with key witnesses to one of the most sensational crimes in California history. Mehas also served as an associate producer on the major motion picture based on the same case, Alpha Dog, directed by Nick Cassavetes.
Stolen Boy has also been accepted into the coveted iUniverse Publisher’s Choice Program, signifying an editorially sound and design-conscious book. As a part of the program, Stolen Boy will be carried in Barnes & Noble in Ventura, CA, beginning in August.
