  5. What a cover--love it. Being a northern woman who writes historical romance western and medieval I've always been drawn to river boats on any southern river--have ridden on a few and was in awe. I so enjoy going occassionally to casinos as well as loving to play games of chance with friends and family. Actually I grew up having several uncles who were known gamblers. Looking forward to this wonderful collection of stories sure to delight me and all who read these stories. Wishing all of you much success with this anthology. I've got it on my TBR list.
