Pulitzer Prize winning authors, Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan, deliver an expertly written and fascinating biography of one of the most extraordinary artists of the twentieth century.
I'll share, with you, my personal experiences involving the real people, from all walks of life, that I met as I gambled my way from Vegas and Tahoe to Atlantic City. I'll also share with you how this fun loving player enjoying the casino scene and all the perks that come with it soon became a man with a real concern for his life and the lives of his family - all because I didn't know what I was really getting into when I "almost" accepted an "Offer I Couldn't Refuse". You'll have an inside look at the casino junket business and some very dangerous characters with contacts that reach all the way to the nation's capital. Enjoy: some suspense, a little romance, and some laughter too! Learn about the Best Odds Bet Ever Made in a casino. And, How Do You Tell Your Wife, you just lost $268,500.00? Don't Dare Miss Chapter 14: Me, The Killer and Three Redneck Cops - It's funny now, but, it wasn't funny then! Enjoy the surprise ending to one tense poker tournament!
A poignant story about hopes, dreams, and how far one man's talent takes him before he realizes it's about what you do-and how you do it. Frank Ryder is unstoppable on the baseball field-his pitches arrive faster than a batter can swing, giving his opponents no chance. He's being heralded as a game-changing pitcher. But within the maelstrom of press, adulation, and wild speculation, Frank is a man alone. Haunted by a tragic incident from years past, he yearns to be the best but cannot reconcile the guilt he carries with the man everyone believes him to be. Frank's path to redemption leads him on a journey back to where his life changed forever, to visit his family, his high school coach, and his brother. Through reconnection and reconciliation with those also deeply affected by the devastating event of Frank's youth, he finds peace and his place in the world both in and outside the game. The Fireballer is a lyrical, moving story of undeniable talent and the life-changing power of forgiveness and a subtly romantic ode to America's favorite pastime.
Journeying the length of America's longest road is as dreamy as it gets. Attempting to complete the Pan American Highway during 2020 was, well, ultimately quite extraordinary!
A chewed-up corpse high in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area leaves Colorado hunting guide Allison Coil mystified. Obvious signs suggest the dead man is the victim of a mountain lion attack, but Allison’s instincts scream otherwise. Miles away and a few thousand feet lower in downtown Glenwood Springs, a controversial candidate for U.S. Senate is shot during a campaign stop as newspaper reporter Duncan Bloom watches, dodging the long-range gunfire. Trapline follows Coil and Bloom as their investigations into the corpse and the shooting expose greed, hatred, and the dark depths of human indifference.
The book consists of an introduction to the asylum, and case studies of several of Broadmoor's more infamous and criminally insane residents of the 19th century.
Circling vultures lead hunting outfitter Allison Coil to an angry man tied to a tree. The man will answer none of Allison’s obvious questions. Devo, a frequent ally of Allison’s and the leader of a group of scrappy devolutionists, has gone missing. Allison’s best friend, Trudy Heath, finds herself intrigued by the overtures of a retired rock star who has put down roots to grow tomatoes. And Trudy’s boyfriend, newspaper reporter Duncan Bloom, is tempted by an opportunity to resolve his bleak finances by taking a flyer on Colorado’s fastest growing industry, retail marijuana. Allison’s trail across The Flat Tops Wilderness leads to an airplane wreck, a murder, and a cunning conspiracy. The Melancholy Howl braids interweaving threads of mystery as Allison, Trudy, Duncan, and Devo’s followers test the definition of family and the dangerous boundaries of trust.
