NOTE FROM Marie Villarreal, Chief Editor

Welcome to PressPoints© NETNEWS!

This newsletter will be published on the 5th of each month. To start with, our goal is to produce a newsletter that we hope you will enjoy reading and relating to. This is our second edition. Our inaugural edition was very well received and the feedback was positive. You will notice that this addition has some marked improvements, to make the newsletter that much more serviceable and more easily accessable so that many more people can enjoy it. A forwarding icon is provided for you that will take you to a frame that contains a forwarding form and a message box. We hope that aids you to reach out to as many people as you would wish to.

We have added two new features. Gaming n' Gamblin' -- we hope you have fun with that feature. And if traveling is your game, Travel n' Tips is your feature. I know everyone has a travel story, like everyone has a gambling and a fish story, so send them on in to us. We have plans to add other fields of interest as we go along. Our sincerest hope is that you will recommend this newsletter and our site to others. We hope that throughout the year you will enjoy PressPointsİ NetNews.

We are also proud to announce the launching of "THE OEDIPUS SYNDROME", our first major literary endeavor by a first time author, Maria Giusto. It is a serialized novel. The novel is previewed this month by it's first chapter on our site.

Also Return of the Emigrant, a novella in three chapters, by the same author, makes its first chapter debut on our same site.

Our future plans for other new website segments are in the works. They will not necessarily wait for our monthly newsletter but rather they will appear as they are ready with a one week lead time announcement. The first new segment currently in the works is our Artists Corner. All items from artisans will be offered with minimum bids attached. Any artisan wishing to include their creations, for bidding, in our "Artists Corner", please contact me, editor@4pointspress.com, for details and a procedure to submit your creations.
