Tyranny's Prisoner (Tyranny)

The Master cheat is a fiction, although the cheating methods described are real. The way the cheating groups are organized, members recruited and paid are accurate. The way taxes are avoided and methods used to obtain false identification are also accurate. The cheating tools described are correct. The main characters are fictitious because they are composites of actual cheats who plied their trade in Nevada and in New Jersey Casinos. I Nevada, it is against the law to instruct another in cheating or in the use of any device for that purpose.. (NRS465.085.3). Although someone may read this book and attempt to cheat using a method described it is not intended for that purpose. The reader must also understand that although some casino security methods are described herein, not all of them are. Casinos spend a lot of money to assure that the games are run fairly and that no one takes advantage, be they the player, dealer or manager. That is the way it must be.

WRITERS BLOC showcases writing as diverse as the authors themselves. These offerings range through the genres, from classic short stories -- with a twist -- to imaginative and appealing memoirs, from disturbing crime adventure to intellectually and morally engaging science fiction. The reader will find entertainment, humor, and even joy, but not confort, because all of these writers show their edges. The nonfiction treats the difficult and emotionally loaded subjects of death and grieving, including the mysteries of cryogenics; the realities of probate law; the idiocies of our sane civil court system; and the possibilities for living a gay-friendly life in a variety of environments. From twisted sexual adventures to ghost stories of real and tragic ghost, from sweet, healing, or wrenching family memoirs to laugh-out-loud encouters with Las Vegas strip clubs, WRITERS BLOC offers a wonderful montageof the exploration and essence of American life. Writers Bloc is the first published collection of the Henderson Writers Group of Southern Nevada. While many of the stories have local southern locations, the spirit of the book is truly universial in the best sense of the write's craft.

Chester Parks was born during the Great Depression. His father died of injuries sustained while serving in the U.S. Army in France during WWI, so Parks and his older brother were raised by a "single mom" -- a Polish immigrant. The family lived in one of the poorest neighborhoods on the near northwest side of Chicago. Parks tells what life was like for him and other poor kids and his successful adult life with his wife of 61 one years. His memoirs are dedicated to his wife, his three children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren..."who have all contributed a significant amount of happiness to my life."

While writing poetry is not the top priority of my life. It does provide an outlet for ideas that I would otherwise overlook. Poetry can say something in far fewer words in many ways than a short story or even the full length novel can. It does, however, take a bit on inspiration to sit with pencil in hand, a blank piece of paper and write something beautiful that everyone can understand and appreciate and yet at the same time make it rhyme and maybe even be in meter. In these pages I have hopefully created ideas that are understood and may in some way bring a smile or tear to your eye. We read so much today in the newspapers and see even more on the television sets throughout our homes and our lives that sometimes it is gratifying just to sit and listen to the gentle breeze as it flutters the leaves in the trees outside our windows. There are two humming birds in my neighborhood. They are interesting in what they do. They flutter their little wings and inspect their surroundings to find sweetness and little else. Are they important? Do they create headlines worthy news interests? Of course not. They are as innocent as what we refer to as "the driven snow. In their own little way though, they create an interest. How do they manage to flutter their wings and hover in a single place? Poetry is like that in many ways. Poets flutter their pens, like the birds flutter their wings. We may be going nowhere like the humming birds, but sometimes, just sometimes we write something that might turn out as beautiful as the little humming bird. And maybe that's all we ask.
