Description
Armed with good looks, his lucky tie and newly found freedom from the beautiful Scandinavian Amazon Beverly, Calvin was on his way to shimmering Lake Tahoe and a summer job that he hoped would put him right into the arms of Lady Luck. He would be far enough away from home to be anonymous. He was ready! And the ladies did cluster: sensuous, gorgeous movie star Fifi; tempestuous dancer Rosie Blaze; and the lovely, unsettling Connie. So what if Calvin didn't get exactly the accountant's job he'd hoped for at the brassy Toluca Casino. Being a busboy-shill-exotic dancer-Romeo had rewards he'd never dreamed of. Big Time! And the thing with the missing money and gun that made his life worth less than a single cheap poker chip? Even that could and up being part of the best summer job in the whole wide world. All he had to do was live through it.... Author Robert L. Hecker was born in Provo, Utah, but grew up in Long Beach, California. After flying in the Air Force over Europe in WWII, he began writing radio and television dramas, then moved on to writing and producing more than 500 documentary, educational and marketing films which garnered national and international awards. His short stories have been published in numerous magazines, and he is currently working on several movie screenplays as well as other novels. A graduate of Westlake College of Music, recently he has begun songwriting and has songs on country, gospel and big-band albums. Summer Job is rather loosely based upon his own adventures while working in a big gambling casino during summer break while attending the Pasadena Playhouse School of the Theatre.
