BREAKING NEWS: Former CT congressman Robert Steele, author of "The Curse: Big-Time Gambling’s Seduction of a Small New England Town," will be a guest speaker at our forum on Sunday, September 8th, 4-6pm at the Plainville Senior Center, 9 School Street, Plainville, MA..

The Book – The Curse: Big-Time Gambling’s Seduction of a Small New England Town (Levellers Press). The Curse is a novel set against the explosion of casino gambling that hit Connecticut during the 1990s, when two Indian tribes built the world’s two biggest casinos in the southeastern corner of the state. WBZ’s Dan Rea calls the novel “powerful” and Connecticut author Martin Shapiro has described it as “compelling and timely…an epic story of history, money and politics that will make you wonder where America is headed.”

Timeliness – The book comes at a time when Massachusetts is in the process of selecting sites for three major casinos and a slots parlor, increasing casino saturation is changing the dynamics of the casino industry, and casino revenues are falling in Connecticut and other Northeastern markets.

Author – Robert Steele is vice chairman of an international marketing agency and has been a director of numerous companies, including the American Stock Exchange. A graduate of Amherst College and Columbia University, he served in the CIA and Congress (2nd District, CT) and was a candidate for governor of Connecticut.

Book Availability – The book is available in softcover from Amazon and the publisher (www.levellerspress.com) and as an ebook from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
