New Publishing Company, "Creative Imaginations," Founded by Authors, for Authors, Releases First Title Inspired by a True Story, "The Count of the Cards"

Baton Rouge, LA, March 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- After having spent years practicing and mastering the skill of card counting, professional gambler, David Lane, writes a novel inspired by his true story of taking on the casinos at their “own game.” “Since casinos have sprouted up everywhere in the country, I wanted to share my story of how a regular guy was able to successfully beat the casinos” Lane explains. “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to beat the game. But you do have to be committed and dedicated to learning the skills and most importantly, the art of camouflage.” Camouflage, the developed skill of hiding from the casino personnel what the counter is actually doing is well explained in Lane’s book as well as how to acquire the skills required for winning at the game. “I didn’t want to just write another book on how to count cards,” Lane explained. “So I wrote about my experience in the form of a novel in hopes of providing an entertaining view of card counting.”

“The Count Of The Cards” is the first novel published by Creative Imaginations and is available now, according to Sr. Vice President, Michael Cashio. “Our publishing company was founded the beginning of this year with the author in mind” explains Cashio. “Today’s publishing industry is going through a lot of changes due to the state of the economy,” Cashio adds. “As a result of these struggles, many authors are feeling the bottom line profits are forcing changes in their writing styles and chosen topics much more than in the past. Profits are a realistic goal of any business, but these days many publishing companies are not only choosing different titles to publish than normal, but the marketing scheme for the chosen published titles is not nearly as aggressive as in years past” Cashio summarizes. “We are very interested in focusing on novels of fiction as well as non-fiction,” adds Dwayne Scott, Production Manager of Creative Imaginations. “Many publishers are overly focused on business and “How To” books compared to the last few years. It’s not that there is anything wrong with that but the unfortunate result is many excellent authors of fiction are being overlooked in today’s economy,” Scott adds.
