Are You P?

"Are you P? Your first name is Preston and the hero of your book is P. A reader."

Am I P? No, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.

That one is hard to answer. I'll save it up until I get on Oprah. Well, of course I had to be acquainted with gambling to be able to write this book . . . and the story does begin in Miami, where I live . . . let me put it to you like this, there but by the Grace of God go I.

Because of what I have lived through, I do not judge gamblers. I do not judge P. I only try to tell their stories.

Thanks for the question,

Preston
