A bibliography of my published books and stories.

Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.

Our neighbor's house across the street might be a total loss. Scary. It makes our mess look not so bad.

two holes in house
I didn't even recognize the side of the house when we drove up and found the siding ripped away to leave these two large holes.

If you ever wondered what was really under that siding, apparently not a heck of a lot. Gives you a real secure feeling, doesn't it? Still, for a house made of not even cardboard but apparently of some kind of fabric, it managed to not let the roof blow off. We actually had a lot more damage from Bill.

The wind also tried to tear off the other side of the house. In fact, it appears that Katrina tried and failed to tear off the roof. The siding was puffed out, and the electric meter is a mess, but if we can get our hands on an electrician with a free moment, we should be able to get this mess repaired easily enough.

Other damage includes our wooden privacy fence, which is thrown down in two places where you can see a tornado tracked through it, and the ceiling tiles in the dining room which came raining down to the floor.
