Business Wire, Feb 10, 2006

SAND POINT, Idaho -- Former real estate developer, lawyer and public speaker turned novelist, T.R. Villelli, has released his first work of fiction -the 756-page hardback, "The Undoing." The book, also providing its readers with an abundance of action, suspense, humor and romance, contains life lessons gleaned from the author's unique and inspiring battle with cancer. "The Undoing" is receiving rave reviews and acclaim nationwide. During the first weeks the book has been available, sales have exceeded levels typically anticipated from a first effort by a self-publisher.

"It was an accomplishment just to complete the novel," says Villelli. "The fact that the book has been well-received is an added bonus. My decision to make a late-life career change to fulfill a lifelong dream has been an incredibly positive experience for me."

With a provocative plot and meticulously developed characters, "The Undoing" has been hailed as a "hard-to-put-down, page-turner" that will both "make you laugh out loud and move you to tears."

Author's Personal Victory Over Cancer Inspires Mid-Life Career Change

For more than forty years, Villelli worked as a successful real estate developer. In 1996, Villelli was diagnosed with cancer and told, without radical medical intervention, he did not have long to live. In a remarkable show of personal faith and fortitude, he refused all conventional medicine and chose a holistic journey which involved natural and non-invasive healing methods. Within two years he had accomplished an amazing recovery.

During his struggle with cancer, Villelli not only experienced a spiritual awakening, and a meaningful career change, but was inspired to share the important message that a doctor's diagnosis of "terminal" should not always be taken at face value. He believes strongly in alternative holistic treatments, as well as man's spiritual control of his physical world through the power of the mind.

Villelli, who is already beginning work on his second novel, "Double Blind," slated for completion during 2006, is currently traveling on a nationwide tour promoting "The Undoing" and sharing his inspirational story of hope, healing and personal triumph.
