| AUTHOR Nick Kastoris PUBLISHES Children's Book -'LOUKOUMI' | |
 LOUKOUMI
-Having recently become a father, author Nick Katsoris is delighted
to venture into the world of children's literature with his new book Loukoumi.
Loukoumi is the story of a little lamb, who was
supposed to go to America with her family, but she got on the wrong plane,
and then the wrong train, and then the wrong boat. In this international
journey through Greece, France, Italy and Morocco, Loukoumi meets
Fistiki the cat, Dean the dog and
Marika the monkey, each helping Loukoumi find
her way home. Katsoris also plans to design a series of books around Loukoumi
and her friends, Dean, Fistiki and Marika.  The
author is a New York attorney and since 1995 has served as General Counsel
of the Red Apple Group. A graduate of Fordham Law School, Nick is Entertainment
Editor for the Hellenic Times newspaper, and has published several articles
for the American Bar Association and the National Law Journal. Katsoris
is also the author of the legal thriller Crimes of Fire and in 2002
he completed a 12 city national book signing tour with Barnes & Noble
and other venues. His second legal thriller, a sequel to Crimes of Fire,
is expected to be released later this year. Nick is also an advocate
of education and in 1989 co-founded the Hellenic Times Scholarship Fund.
Since its inception, he has served as President of the organization and
over $1 million has been awarded to over 500 students. He currently resides
in Eastchester, New York, with his wife, Voula, a real estate attorney,
and their son, Dean success.

| FEATURED COMEDY SHOW ON CD | ||||
 It's
All Greek To Me ... Comedy Show- live on cd & Now on DVD  'It's All Greek To Me Comedy Show' starring Angelo Tsarouchas, born in Montreal and raised in Ottawa, is the hottest talked about show in Canada today! The multi-talented Tsarouchas who now resides in Toronto, has worked along side some of the biggest actors in the world such as Robert DeNiro, Sylvester Stallone and Al Pacino, just to name a few, has been touring the one man show to rave reviews everywhere. Angelo will be appearing at the prestigous Just for Laugh's Comedy Festival in Montreal this summer, and will be featured on the CBC's National Broadcast of Madly Off in All Directions soon to air to a National audience from Coast to Coast. Angelo has been an established Canadian Comedian for 20 years.  The show
'It's All Greek to Me Comedy Show' was born when touring
with the band Poseidon,
they needed extra time to set their equiptment up on stage, and Angelo started
to talk about his Greek upbringing in Canada to buy time, 40 minutes later,
he was saluted to a standing ovation, and now there is a new CD to celebrate
this accomplished performance. Angelo was on the shortlist for the critically
acclaimed show The Sopranos, and attributes his healthy physique
to his Mother's home cooking. Unfortunately, Angelo is not a vegeterian
but a favourite on the Yuk-Yuk's circuit.
RAVE REVIEWS: “Think Chris Farley slinging souvlaki - sometimes in your face.” - Bill Brownstein, Opinion on Getting Laughs, Montreal Gazette “Hilarious and to the point, Tsarouchas captures the true essence of the Greek Spirit” - Nostos Magazine, March 2001 “Angelo has the ability to laugh at himself and point out the unique traits that separate Greeks from the rest of the world.” - BHMA Editorial, October 2001 “Capturing the It's All Greek to Me Comedy revue, and judging by the audience response was a great time had by all, Bravo!” - George Trialonis, CFMT Television, Edo kai Tora “Angelo is a funny guy and a good eater!” - Kostas Zachariadis, Danforth Souvlaki Restaurant Owner |
