Press Release Summary = A new weekly comic-mystery web-serial was launched this
week, featuring a gay character who moves from New York to New Jersey after
receiving an unusual offer from a mysterious benefactress. Free. Updated every
Monday.

Press Release Body = April 7, 2007: This week the Wizard of Wit launched a free
weekly web-serial entitled "It Happened in Plainfield." The story is a humorous
comic mystery that will be updated online each Monday with a new chapter.

The web-serial follows the adventures of Henson Ray, a gay NYC resident who moves to
Plainfield, NJ after he receives an unusual offer from a mysterious benefactress.
But life in the suburbs is anything but dull, as Henson soon finds himself embroiled
in a real-life mystery involving a famous movie actress, peculiar neighbors and a
secret society bent on his destruction.

Filled with colorful characters and witty dialogue, the serial is billed as "an
amusing piece of fluff." But as the chapters begin to unfold, readers will soon
discover that the more outrageous the story gets, the more plausible it becomes.

Part satire/part mystery, the serial is the perfect escape for anyone who needs a
distraction at work or a few good laughs. A perfect summer panacea for fans of
"Desperate Housewives" or "Ugly Betty."

The web serial is the brainchild of Writer and Marketing Manager Michael Latshaw,
who began the project at the urging of some friends.

"I'd begun writing this sort of off-the-wall piece inspired by my move from New York
City to Plainfield, New Jersey," Latshaw explains. "When I showed it to some friends
who were writers, they thought it would make a great weekly serial. That's when I
decided to take the next step and publish the story on my own. The world wide web
seemed like a perfect venue for this genre.\"

The website has been up less than a week and the response has been extremely positive.

"People are really responding to the characters and the humor,\" Latshaw confesses.
\"I\'m getting e-mails from perfect strangers who say they\'re already hooked, and they
can\'t wait for the next chapter. So I guess the story has the right mix of humor and
heart..with a little mystery thrown in to spice it all up."
