MEDIA ADVISORY
LA JOLLA, CA (October 29, 2010) - Rock House Press Catholic Publishers (Rock House) announced today that it has teamed with John Paul the Great Catholic University (JP CATHOLIC), a world-class Catholic university dedicated to molding students into future innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs in communications media, business, and technology. With this new teaming arrangement in place, Rock House is applying its expertise in Catholic children's content, training and education to enter the iPad Apps business in the growing enhanced e-book field. JP CATHOLIC, founded in 2003 and is located in San Diego, California, prepares its students in all facets of the film, TV, animation and video game industries while giving them a Catholic outlook on life.
"Rock House brings an amazing level of creativity and storytelling capability to the growing field of enhanced e-books. Our mission is to lift up minds and hearts to God while advancing children's literacy through humorous stories that warm the heart, illuminate the mind and tickle the funny bone," said Ilow Roque, founder, Publisher & CEO of Rock House Press. "By teaming with Rock House, JP CATHOLIC students will be able to leverage our entrepreneurial resources to deliver a variety of innovative products to the mobile APPs market. This is truly a win for JP CATHOLIC, its students, and all who will benefit from these applications."
"We are very pleased to welcome Kevin Meziere, JP CATHOLIC's Director Information Technology, as technical lead. Kevin's technical leadership at JP CATHOLIC represents a tremendous opportunity for Rock House and JP CATHOLIC students alike," Roque said. "From our perspective, JP CATHOLIC's experience and technologies will be valuable assets for Rock House as it enters into the rapidly evolving enhanced e-book field. We are confident that this relationship will accelerate the development of Rock House's mobile Apps business by combining Rock House's creative and marketing expertise with the technological assets of JP CATHOLIC."
Rock House plans to release its first SNEAK PEEK VIDEO for the debut of its first iPad App: THE BEES ARE MISSING! in San Diego in mid-November 2010. The iPad APP will go live in time for Christmas 2010. THE BEES ARE MISSING! is the second volume in the Happiness March Adventure series. The first volume, THE PURPLES ARE COMING! was released to wide acclaim in March, 2010 and is available through Amazon.com and bookstores everywhere.
Rock House has been exploring various interactive media for its Catholic children's picture books, including games that support and reinforce faith and virtues. The introduction and stunning success of Apple's iPad has opened up an indispensable tool for reaching young readers. Rock House plans to realize unique technological advances in CGI and game-based AI through the application of JP CATHOLIC's core technologies. Through this relationship, Rock House expects to accelerate its development of next-generation religious education and entertainment systems and deliver innovative and insightful products to Catholics around the world.
