Plot Description: Lanie Schafer leaves her home in Europe to pursue her passion of pool in the United States only to discover a crazy world of both hustlers and champions. She rubs shoulders with some of pool’s elite professionals, including Val, who will need the cold and relentless heart of a champion to find his purpose in life and defeat his newfound European rival. Does Lanie have the heart to live up to the elite status she has succumbed to by the Americans? Will Val be able to deal with her as his worthy opponent, and fulfill what was his father’s sort of posthumous destiny for him?
Part of what inspired the writing of this fictional story is a lack of internal-based themes in most of the pool books that you see on Amazon. You are not going to see very many pool books with a title that is about anything more than running the table or hustling pool for a living, which in my opinion is nothing more than an old school Hollywood cliched theme. I hope people like my new book because it was really written from the heart, and not just a typical hustler story. No disrespect to WT's work because I loved those books that were later both turned into feature films and American classics.
