About this ebook

Freud reasoned that the mind is composed of an Id, Ego and Superego. The Traders, those lovable profiteers, couldn’t care less about the Superego because that is our conscience. The Superego carries a sledgehammer called “guilt,” and the Traders can’t let guilt get in their way. How would they ever make any money? Nothing can get in their way, so the Traders are happy to push the Superego aside and let the Id reign. The Id is their ego. Many Traders have a huge ego and believe that ethics are optional. Why would they need ethics when they can simply hire an attorney when they are caught being naughty? Furthermore, ethics usually just get in the way of the Traders’ goals. Plus, ethics just make people appear soft. A person definitely does not want to be soft around the Traders, because that will make them an easy target for some of the vultures.

Psychotics think two and two is five. Neurotics know that the correct answer is four, but they are so involved with themselves that they are too afraid to answer out loud. People with character disorders don’t really worry about either the question or the answer because not much worries these types anyway. These people often believe that behaving responsibly applies to everyone else but not to themselves. That being said, let me introduce you to a group of really colorful characters. Julius, Windy, Gilbert, Hadley, the Critter, Gomer, Buttercup, Ivan, Peety...and the list goes on. I hope you enjoy reading about them and their adventures.

Jim Dreis About the Author: Married, proud father of a son, daughter and their families that include four delightful grandsons I’m convinced have bright futures. My sojourn into writing started in 1997. In The Traders, my first book, Ivan Schmidt, a real estate exchanger, gets involved in moving drugs. In the sequel, Trader Among the Flock, he invests in a church headed by a naïve minister. Constitutional Ban on Divorce – An Adult Fairy Tale, takes a humorous look at the institution of marriage. I was fortunate in the service to have worked under a brilliant psychiatrist. His teachings serve as a back drop for much of my writing. The knowledge I gained working under him served me well in the psychiatric facility we worked at and later in my sojourn into drug treatment, residential treatment, employment work and real estate. I am currently licensed as a broker and have been since 1990. In 1984 I joined the Tucson Real Estate Exchangors because of their creative approach to solving real estate problems and in 1993 I was their president. I ended my involvement in 1997. Today I find writing, a delightful release for the ideas that float through my head.
