First Month of Dirty Poker
My book "Dirty Poker" has been out a month now. It's doing quite well, and thank you for your support.
Of course with a controversial book like this, not everyone is going to like it, especially those affiliated with the online poker sites. In fact, there has been an active collusion between several of the major online poker rooms and the poker portal Poker777.com to squash my book, of which I have documented evidence. The book was reviewed by Poker777.com, and it was a stellar review, but mysteriously it never appeared on their site after "Rifka," the chief editor, stated that "Dirty Poker" would receive its own web page on their site...Funny, huh?
On Sunday, April 16, the New York Times published a major article on the poker craze in which they mentioned my book as well as an interesting tidbit on Doyle Brunson. Apparently the old legend of poker is under investigation by the SEC for manipulating the price of World Poker Tour Enterprises stock.
I tell ya, like I say in the book, there are a lot of crooks out there in the poker world!
I'm waiting for the UK newspaper the Mail On Sunday to release an article about Dirty Poker.

I picked up a copy of 'Dirty Poker' from my local book store yesterday afternoon, Started reading it at around 9PM... Went too bed at 4AM after finishing it. I have never been intrested in poker ever. I will be picking up a copy of your other books in the near future.
Hi Richard, I ate up your book in a couple days. I also posted about it on Bluffmagazine.com under the shameless promotions title in the forum (soozrowan).
Have you heard of the author James Swain? His Tony Valentine novels are great. Tony hunts down and stops casino cheats. His business is called "Grift Sense". His website opening is "noir" like.
James' website is www.griftsense.com
I'm sure you would enjoy his work too. That's if you don't already know about him.
Keep up the good books, we enjoy them.

Just wanted you to know that I like your books. That charachter Rufus makes me laugh.
