Guess what, it's almost complete, after three years of starts and stops I'm almost there. Just a few finishing touches (waiting for the cover art) and some formatting for the printer and I will have a book! I'm excited about this book as I break new territory here, including several non pool related stories about my little adventures in life.

The second part of the book is what I call My Little Black Book of pool secrets. Most of it has never been in print anywhere before to my knowledge. It kind of encompasses what I've observed it takes to really play this game well. I hope you will find this part engaging as well. I didn't write it so much as a lesson primer, but more as a source of pool knowledge to draw from what you want. I'm fairly certain that in reading this part of my book you will find ways to improve your game and that goes for just about anyone this side of Shane or Dennis Orcollo.

Anyway this is just a heads up to all of you who have been asking me when my new book will be out. I'm not taking any orders yet, but I should have it ready for sale come January. Thanks for your patience.

True story! It was called The Foodman. If I was smart I would have expanded that business to other college campuses. But all I wanted to do was play pool :thumbup:. Heck, I was only 20 years old, what did I know?

Great news, Jay. I was one of those that took more than one opportunity to ask, "When?" I loved the first one and I'm sure I will love this new one as well.

Jay, I'm looking forward to the book.

I have an idea for your next book(s): you should write biographies of Earl and Efren. You've been around both players for decades and know them. And you know the Philippines. You're just the man, at the right time.

Looking forward to getting on a pre-release list when the time is right.

Jay, thanks for doing this. Story telling is a time honored, but disappearing method of informing and describing the colorful past, that would otherwise be lost to history.

You have a knack for putting the reader in the time and place and space of the tale.

Thanks, and good luck with PWII.

You will find stories about both of them in my new book (More Pool Wars) and I've covered the Philippine pool scene pretty well also.
