Welcome!!
I have just approved the author's proof of my book named Advantage Disadvantage. It will be available on several online booksellers within two weeks. My main goal was to entertain family and friends with this book and I hope it succeeds. You will be the ultimate judge of that, and on this space I welcome your feedback. If there are any procedural, grammatical, or continuity errors that you find, I need to know. So, on this space, anything reasonable is fair game. Here's what the book is about:
A neighborhood bookie peddles athletes to college coaches and develops a sport betting operation centered on high school games. He recruits an accomplice to execute his last bet, one that could set them up financially for life but is fraught with danger. The Chicago Police investigate the greedy gamblers who might try to manipulate a high school basketball playoff game. A chance meeting between the father of a mediocre student-athlete and the bookie puts in motion a sequence of events transforming the player into a Division 1 prospect using unorthodox basketball training methods. Corrupt adults, who selfishly engage in risky and exploitive behaviors, surround the athlete: gangland profiteers, win-at-all-cost coaches, greedy street agents, shoe company representatives, college recruiters, disloyal lovers, and others. Advantage Disadvantage examines the motivations that drive the surrounding adults to corruption, betrayal, and greed.
