The new cover for The Investment Club galley has been finalized and advanced reader copies will start shipping in the coming weeks. Scheduled for release in October by Rare Bird Books, The Investment Club is about the the lives of five damaged people—a self-destructive dwarf entrepreneur, a drug-addicted musical performer-turned-stripper, a retired, widowed New Jersey policeman, a bereaved, divorced female sportscaster, and a card-counting former Catholic priest—intertwining after playing blackjack together at the El Cortez Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
Pleased to announce Los Angeles-based independent book publisher Rare Bird Books will be publishing Doug‘s new novel The Investment Club along with the paperback release of his award-winning debut novel, Outside In in October 2016. Stay tuned for pre-order and event information.
