'''My name is David Lane. I am a retired professional blackjack card counter. I don't play even casually now because the game produced so much stress in me that I lost the ability to play for entertainment purposes. It was the greatest challenge of my life, with the exception of being a Marine. My novel, THE COUNT OF THE CARDS, (not a teaching book),was published and is currently distributed by Creative Imaginations Publishing, Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, etc for a total of over 3,000 outlets. So the book is easy to find. Readers have been moved by the story and expressed glowing reviews. It is inspired by a true story of a professional gambler (no not me) who suffers flashbacks of his time spent in Cambodia looking for P.O.W.'s (no, again still not me). The story evolves into other plots with organized crime, drug sales, murder, romance that sort of thing. If you like mystery and suspense, you'll probably like it. Again, it is based on a real thing though poetic license taken at the end for entertainment purposes. Book Preview Video Of Book
