PBIA (Professional Billiards Instructor Association) and ACS (American Cue Sports) billiards instructor for ten years.
My playing and competitive experience goes back over 50 years.
I love the give and take of competitive sports and enjoy helping others improve their playing and thinking skills.
The books I have published on Smash Words include:
• Psychology of Gamesmanship – How to Manage Mind Games & Tricks – Identifies more than 80 sharks and how to prevent your opponent from using them. Also applicable to other team (football, basketball, soccer) and individual (pool, tennis, darts) sports.
• The Art of War versus the Art of Pool – The philosophy of pool as defined by Sun Tzu, the Chinese general who wrote about applied warfare, 2500 years ago.
• The Art of Politics & Campaigning - an easy road map to success in competition against others for a valued position.
• The Art of Team Coaching - how Sun Tzu would coach coaches, including specifics on team and individual training.
• The Art of Personal Competition - how Sun Tzu would guide your development as a team player.
• Kitchen God’s Guide for Single Guys – a humorous cooking book for bachelors
BOOKS that are not available on Smashwords (file size too big):
• Table Map Library - free on the billiardgods web site. 3,100+ cue ball paths and patterns. For advanced One Pocket and 9 Ball players.
• Drills & Exercises for Pool & Pocket Billiards – progressive practices to improve your game, skills, and abilities.
• Safety Toolbox – the defensive tools needed to advance your offensive game. Includes drills, tactics, strategies, and precision ball control drills.
• Advanced Cue Ball Control Self-Testing Program – Find out if you are an “A” player now and what it takes to get there.
• Cue Ball Control Cheat Sheets – the shortcuts that show how to use precise cue ball speed and spin to get position anywhere on the table.
VIDEOS
Also available are the following videos, which can be rented or purchased on Amazon and on the billiardgods web site:
• Secrets of One Rail Kicks - simple calculations about how to figure out short and long rail kicks to another ball on the table.
• Secrets of Shooting with Spin - two techniques that describe how to use side spin on the cue ball (with accuracy).
• Kicking to a Bib Ball - opens your eyes on the many ways to kick to a ball near a rail or in a corner.
• Easy 9 Ball Safeties - examples in regular and slow motion on how to make sure your opponent cannot run out the table.
My books on team sports and politics evolved through decades of experience and observation in those fields.

Kitchen God's Guide for Single Guys
Chapter 0 - Beginnings
Here's how this guide got written. I am a muse to a kitchen god. (Really. No – really, really.) As a guy, you have played some pool, or been in places where pool is played. You always hear comments about how the billiard gods or the pool gods give someone a lucky shot to win the game or they hate someone and viciously made him lose?
Well, in the kitchen, there is a kitchen god. (I’m serious, stop laughing.) He was kicked out of the cooking universe for gross abuse of something or other. (I think he was snorting pepper or something like that. I don’t want to inquire and he won’t say.) Anyway, he has taken on a new purpose – helping single guys eat better tasting food while saving them tons of cash (to be used for the fun side of life).
This is how he came into my life. One morning I staggered into the kitchen on Saturday morning and had just made my first cup of instant coffee. I sat down on a chair and was struggling to get a few brain cells lined up to consider what to make for breakfast.
That’s when he appeared with a flash of light, and a cloud of smoke. The smoke alarm went off and I scrambled out of my chair to fan the smoke away from the alarm. And there he was – this short dude, wearing a white dress (he said it was a robe).
I dashed for the phone to call 9-1-1 and he tripped me. While I was down, he stepped up to stand on my chest (he didn’t weigh hardly anything) and asked, Do you know who I am?
Before I could respond, he continued, I’m a kitchen god for single guys – just like you.
He paused and looked down at me as if daring me to laugh. Wisely, I kept a straight face and held my peace.
He said, I am sick and tired of seeing all you dudes stumbling and bumbling around in kitchens. You all act like a bunch of morons.
He paused to glare at me.
Except you.
He paused as he stepped down from my chest. You still are stupid in the kitchen, but a lot less than everyone else I’ve observed.
He gestured, Go ahead, grab a chair. We are going to make a deal. First, get me a cup of coffee and let’s talk.
As I assembled the necessaries, he climbed up into the other chair, sat down, and leaned back. I put his cup of coffee close to him, pulled my chair up to the table and slurped a couple of sips. He waited in silence for me to finish. Just a side question. Do you drink like that in front of women?
A short pause and then shook his head sadly, You really need help. Well, that’s your problem, not mine.
He squared himself up to me and started, "Let’s talk seriously. Not only are you an adequate kitchen user, you also write pretty good too. I liked that Psychology of Losing book. It’s funny and educational too."
He paused to sip from his cup. I need you to write me a kitchen book for single guys.
I looked up in surprise, and he continued, You can use a computer and I can’t. You can write, I can dictate. I need some name recognition. You can keep all the money from the book.
I gulped down the remnants of my cup and set it down carefully. Are you serious? Why me? I don’t know how to write a cook book.
He grinned, It isn’t a cook book. It’s a kitchen book. Wimps use cook books. Guys use kitchen books. Got it? Good.
He paused to swallow a sip. He shuddered, You don’t have good taste in instant coffee either.
He put the cup down.
We are going to collaborate. I know all the cool stuff and all you have to do is put it together into a nice package. And it could be books – plural – if you do a good job on this one.
I sat back in my chair and pondered his words. On the surface, it looked like a pretty good deal. I put in a few hundred hours of my time for the chance of making millions. And, I have an expert advisor to provide all of the technical details. I don’t know about kitchen stuff as well as pool or sports competing, but with his help, it could work.
I got down to brass tacks and started a series of questions:
Me: What about finding a publisher?
Him: Self-publish.
Me: How do I get the world out?
Him: You figure it out.
Me: Any chance of a retainer?
Him: Nope.
Me: You sure? Even a little bit?
Him: Do I have to repeat myself? I’m a kitchen god for guys. Do I look like I have anyplace to keep money? Don’t use it and don’t need it. You get all the money, I get all the glory.
Me: I reserve the right to back out.
Him: "Nope.
Me: (thinking)
Him: We got a deal?
Me: I will probably regret this. OK. Deal.
We shook hands. And that is how this cook book – sorry, kitchen god book, got started.
About the Kitchen God and some of his wisdom
(Dictated to me by the Kitchen God.)
Who am I to call myself a Kitchen God? That’s easy - I am a magical being, vast in knowledge and experience. Although I'm not omnipotent, I come pretty close - sometimes. Outside the kitchen, I only have influence where food is sold (supermarkets, convenience stores, and such places). There I occasionally advise such individuals who are male and single. My power weakens with married guys, and I could care less about the females. They have their cooking goddess
.
Inside the kitchen with a single guy who is my student, I have great powers of suggestion. I can scan the contents of a refrigerator in a single glance and instantly provide a half dozen tasty ideas. I can even guide the hand to select and add acceptable levels of spices. Take my word for it. I am who I say I am - the Kitchen God, OK?
I am dictating this book to my earth-bound chosen disciple. This is the beginner's guide to basic survival in the kitchen. You will master my basic laws, learn how to perform a few rituals and study all of the various safety processes. If my guidelines are followed religiously, the recipes I provide below will instill in you a sense of adventure and self-sufficiency. Follow my recommendations and suggestions and you will enjoy the consumption of food, instead of considering it to be only fuel. As you become more experienced, I will provide inspirations of brilliant food ideas and thereby make life a bit more enjoyable.
My presence will be known by the food you create. When mundane ingredients are mixed together, and a wonderful taste experience occurs, that is because of me. I personally jogged your elbow and guided your hands.
I will teach you the proper rituals necessary to successful interaction between yourself, food and the kitchen tools. Learn and you'll eat well for the rest of your life. Dismiss my messages and you won't be able to make toast.
As the Kitchen God to single guys, I am your guide and mentor. My responsibility is to prepare you to eat well and enjoy the consumption of flavorful food. Learn at my feet, my son. You are one of mine. I will educate you into the mysteries and wonders of tasty consumables. Accept my teachings and trust my words.
I am aware that there are a great many cook books out there that proclaim to be the source of great cooking. A quick search on Amazon will list hundreds and hundreds. Many of them are but poor efforts by unguided individuals who know not the glory I could have bestowed on them. Many are by women, some by gourmets, and others are just pitiful.
But also know that the path and way of the Kitchen God allows my followers to take those efforts and salvage them. My students will cleverly add and substitute ingredients to achieve a much better tasting representation worthy to be consumed by single men. Therefore, it is acceptable to have other collections of recipes in your kitchen. Simply apply my inspiration to the ingredient list and you will have food worthy of the Kitchen God – me.
A cautionary note to females
My writer informs me that it is not politically correct to be chauvinistic. He says that I must make this material available to you females. I am not the kitchen god of females (single or married). I am the Kitchen God of single guys. I will not make my words wishy-washy, or wimpy, or anything other than truthful. I will not be intimidated by those who attempt to force such a silly concept of PC-ness. Get a life and stay out of my territory.
Rather than complain, bitch and moan about this little effort to establish a little guy-oriented territory, have the social grace and courage to let him, no - encourage him - to develop confidence in his inner Kitchen God-ness. And, if you get upset over the contents of this kitchen book, please get yourself a sense of humor.
Certification
This guide is generated because of a certified, genuine Kitchen God, me. I hereby confirm and validate that I am now and have always been the one and only Kitchen God for single guys. Everything I provide to my writer (Allan Sand) is designed for you to possess the skills, not just to survive, but to thrive well. Just as you put faith in me - I bestow upon you to be successful with food. I have spoken.
