Press Release Summary = Xlibris Author, Ron Uselton portrays in his book what its
like to play Poker with your life at stake

Press Release Body = Sherman, Texas - A strange and diverse gamblers meet in the
game of poker in a Vegas casino. Combine a New York ad man on his third strike, a
young woman running from a treacherous past, an FBI agent with serious gambling
issues, the would-be founder of the Las Vegas Greensox, and a big-bosomed black
widow looking for unhealthy husbands; throw in Mikey "Don't Call Me Cheeso"
Mozzarelli and his two unfortunate assistants, and you'll be all-in at a high stakes
Texas Hold'Em table that will convince you that cards are war, disguised as a game.

You will find all these in Ron Uselton's Lost Vegas, a novel that focuses on the
lives of a group of gamblers playing for the biggest game of their lives and for
their lives as well.

Uselton said, "Although the characters are purely fictional, you might recognize a
friend or two in the melee. You can\'t live in Sherman as long as I have without
encountering a few zany folks."

Lost Vegas may be purchased directly through Xlibris Corporation or Barnes and
Noble.com, Amazon.com, Borders.com or through Baker & Taylor and Ingram Book
Distribution.

"The book," said Uselton, "has absolutely no redeeming literary value. It\'s also
rated R for language (gangsters often use bad words). But, it\'s a fun read and I
think people will enjoy it."
