Losing Slowly, my new book about Las Vegas, is coming soon, but ...


LosingSlowlyCoverSmallThe image to the right is the cover of my next book, to be available on Amazon.com next week: Losing Slowly: How Las Vegas lost its mojo – and how to get it back.


These are the stories:


1. Scouring the streets of Sin City looking for the itinerant raconteur of my youth.


2. How a simply gorgeous woman took the prize at The World Series of Poker.


3. Who really put the paradise in Las Vegas? Don’t ask…


4. The Lord of the Cooties demands righteousness but gets nothing but spare change instead.


5. Helping people make poor choices is how Las Vegas lives off the fat of the lambs.


6. Feeling lucky in Las Vegas? That’s the kind of optimism that built this town.


7. Surfing The Deuce with Sarno’s Ghost.


8. A peek inside the head of a Headliner.


9. Busking Las Vegas: An exposition of practical ontology.


10. You can’t win in Vegas until you know what it is you’re playing for.


11. How the Rape of the Sabine Women helped me sue for peace and racial harmony.


12. Working up the courage to take in the most gawk-worthy spectacle on earth.


There’s a bonus track stuck in there, too, to deliver on the sub-title.


This is available to read right now in galleys — if you are available to read right now. It’s a 2-3 hour read, and it should be consistently rewarding reading.


If you want to read this book in galleys and review it on Amazon.com when it is published, do this:


1. Get a personal documents email address for your Kindle or Kindle app.


2. Authorize bloodhoundrealty@gmail.com to receive personal documents.


3. Email me at the same address asking to play.


If you’re not sure you’re going to follow through expeditiously, wait until you know for sure you will.
