Fiction Author Spotlight: MAKE ME EVEN AND I'LL NEVER GAMBLE AGAIN by Jerrold Fine
Rogers Stout has the gambler’s gifts --- a titanic brain, an uncanny ability to read people, and a risk-taker’s daring. As an apathetic high school student who loves baseball but lacks a 90-mph fastball, he knows that the game does not begin until the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand. But his life needs direction. Everything changes the summer he is invited into the boisterous environment of an investment bank’s trading room, and to a gambling hall dive where he immediately wins big at poker, capturing the attention of his co-workers with his card-playing skills.

FEARED by Lisa Scottoline
Mary DiNunzio’s ruthless nemesis, lawyer Nick Machiavelli, aggressively attacks Mary’s father and one of their beloved family friends by filing a lawsuit that accuses them of embezzling from the treasury of a local South Philly social club to which they belong. The lawsuit is frivolous, but Machiavelli spreads rumors that support its allegations, muddying the reputation of Mary's father. The claims shake the DiNunzio clan to its foundations, and Mary steps in to fight back. But Machiavelli is a more than worthy adversary. Then the unthinkable happens, and Mary goes to her own dark side, finding a part of herself that makes her more fearsome than ever before.
