    About this ebook

    "Jobs are for schmucks," says Jinx, the small town gambler in "The Dude Who Wanted Out." For Bill Bevins, who loses his own job selling real estate, despite a booming housing market, those words could not ring more true. Bill is a man determined to find his own way and on his own terms, even it means a dead-end job working security. A buddy has a questionable business deal. His ex-wife wants him to work for her boyfriend. Bill wants to be a writer but figures he doesn't have what it takes. By the time romance comes into his life, Bill seems out of options. A story of one man's search for answers.
