Author's Latest Novel Published After Six Decades
S For Story/10649181
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. - s4story -- .Author Robert Stricklin has published his seventh book, a novel entitled STURGEON, which is actually his first book. He explains:
"STURGEON was written and shopped unsuccessfully way back in the early to mid 1970s. It was then relegated to a cardboard storage box where it languished for these many years. Last year, however, as I was doing a bit of spring cleaning, I unearthed the forsaken manuscript, reread it, and rediscovered the potential it originally engendered. With renewed inspiration, I set about the task of revisiting and reediting the story until this dusty little diamond in the rough became a polished gem worthy of a second chance to be shared."
STURGEON is a humorous "fish-out-of-water" tale set in 1972, a naive, ne'er-do-well, young American travels to post-British invasion England with an improbable plan. Having perfected his own technique for winning at blackjack, his goal is to compete against the world's foremost card player -- and win the heart of his female British penfriend. Fate, however, may have other plans. As he encounters a colorful cast of characters and various setbacks, Sturgeon learns some harsh life lessons and, ultimately, the true meaning of winning.
