I will miss Deke. He was a key partner in four of my books --- Million Dollar Video Poker, Video Poker for the Intelligent Beginner, and both novels (which were not published by Huntington Press --- but I hired Deke to work on them anyway. Deke made more on each of the novels than I did.)

I get judged by the final product --- and Deke worked with me to make a raw product into a polished product. There were times when he had a heavier editorial hand than I wanted --- but we were always able to work things out eventually without having to call in Anthony to arbitrate.

One big advantage Jean Scott and I had over other writers is that some or all of our books were "Deked." Having professional help in the background is a tremendous asset.
