“My new eBook, entitled Bet On Black Journal, was released August 21, 2009. Written together with my long time friend and writer Corey Tomlinson, we’re taking a look at casino gaming from the eyes of a touring musician. The book isn’t only a guide to gaming either; we’ll be talking with my fellow musicians to tell some of their stories on the accompanying web site and sharing some of my own experiences on the road and in the world’s casinos.

In support of this new release, I will be running some contests and drawings for some things such as instruments, casino nights, etc. I don’t want this just to be about selling a book – the whole experience is for you, our fans, and I want it to be as interactive and entertaining as possible. I also have special plans in place to benefit a charity that’s near and dear to my own life ~ I’ll be sharing more news on that as the holidays approach.

Corey and I are looking forward to talking to as many of you as possible on the site soon.”  -Slo
