News and Notes
10/18/2012 - New adverts are up on the website, please take a few moments to check out the great folks at Paul Stulac Cigars. They're the new kid in the market, and they've brought some great product. They've taken some potent Nicaraguan long filler, added a tasty Sumatra binder and wrapped them in your choice of an Ecuadorian Habano, Connecticut Broadleaf or a delicious Brazillian Maduro wrapper. The burn is clean, the construction is amazing and the flavor is rich and smooth without overpowering. These things are super-premium and not your everyday smokes, so get in on the ground floor now before the secret is out.
10/11/2012 - To those asking for more content, I apologize. While further chapters are really coming together, I've hit a snag in chapter three which keeps me from posting the next few chapters at this time. I have, however, posted a deleted scene that I felt was somewhat redundant and did not quite fit with the overall theme of the book.

Drawing Thin
(verb) A term used to describe a player who is behind in a hand with very few possibilities of winning.
It's a simple question that everyone has been asked at some point. "How'd you get here?" Not where you are physically, but your station in life. How did you become who you are? We all have a story, some more interesting than others. Some the straight and narrow, some less so. Drawing Thin is one such story.
Told around a poker table, as some of the better stories I've heard, Drawing Thin is the story of how Tom Murphy "got here". Bliss, betrayal, heartbreak, redemption etc.. are common elements in our lives, but very few stories parallel.
In Drawing Thin, we'll follow Murph from college student to degenerate gambler, all through the course of one fateful night. Along the way we'll meet Leah, the motivation for his darkest actions. We'll also be introduced to D'Arcy, who makes him believe that better days are on the horizon, along with many other colorful and shady characters as the man their perches on the felt. Every hand of poker is a recollection of a hand that sticks out in my memory from my past 15 years at the table, I only hope that you enjoy reading it half as much as I did writing it.
Thanks,
Andy Brown
