So excited...this may be one of the few positive side effects of BF, in that hotjenny314 finally had time to finish The Superuser and it is available in the ebook format on Amazon! Not sure I am aware of any other thriller/mystery books about poker, so extremely proud of her

having read it I'll give my impression:

It reminded me of a Dan Brown novel and you're getting incredible value here with a purchase price of only $2.99, or like $.02 a chapter. Who doesn't like a good value?

Well done Katie.

Another stupid question: can you read this on the ibooks app on iphone? I don't have a kindle. I don't really read books (short attention span, but occasionally I will get into one and finish it) but I want to support the TWSS cause.

Aw, thanks Katie for posting and DonkeySlayer81, SGT RJ, and Gallopin Gael for the support!

The first several versions of this book were put on the back-burner because I never seemed to have enough time, and there was always some other non-fiction poker book I was working on.

But, as Katie pointed out, Black Friday meant that I suddenly had 60 free hours a week that I didn't have before. So since then, (except during the WSOP) I shifted my focus to editing the book. It's a fast-paced thriller meant for an audience that loves this type of genre fiction (like Grisham, Brown, Locke, etc.), and I co-wrote it with my husband.

In case anyone's curious here's the description:

When a punk poker superstar loses millions in a mysterious game, he hires disgraced champion and ex-cop Grisham Stark to investigate. As Stark confronts cold-blooded players in Monte Carlo and Las Vegas, he realizes his one shot at redemption is to catch the most dangerous poker cheat of all time: the Superuser.

Behind the scenes, a politician is hijacking the scandal to wage a legislative battle in Washington. A beautiful female player is blackmailed into hiding a deadly secret that threatens to unravel the entire deception, and the ruthless Superuser is killing anyone who dares stand in his way.

Grisham Stark will ultimately face a terrifying question: Is the Superuser’s final goal far more than money?

Not a stupid question!

We don't have it in the iBooks store, but you can download the free kindle iphone app here and then buy a book it that way. Alternatively you can download a kindle app for PC or Mac, and read it on your computer.

Okay, I'm going to do that. I didn't realize kindle books were so cheap. That's incredible. I hope you see a good portion of that because I don't know how it can be profitable any other way.

Good Luck!

Kindles are the best. When you buy a book, you can have it on 5 devices simultaneously...so for someone like me that means iphone, ipad, home laptop, travel laptop & Kindle.

The royalty rates are actually pretty good through the Kindle publishing since they made a change a while back. So they will be getting a "good portion" of that.

Thanks!

Taking so much time to write this is a pretty huge (and high variance) gamble. Let's hope this is what I've been saving my "one time" for.

Do you have an Android phone? If you do you should have a kindle reader pre-installed

The Kindle app worked great on my PC - I didn't even know they had a free app for Kindle.

I really enjoyed the book, it had a little of everything - mystery, suspense, action, a love story, and poker! It was great!
