Author Greetings

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW A.C. Some may. Atlantic City was always more than home to grand casinos in the world's bus capital. But few know the way it really was, the way it could or should have been, and what tomorrows bring.

FOR YEARS, I REPRESENTED more sex workers in this seashore gambling resort than any other lawyer, meaning I defended more hookers than any lawyer in the world. Other souls also sought my counsel. I became a species of champion for the good and the gutter snipes.

I KNOW THIS TOWN AND EVERY CHARACTER as they lived and loved, survived or died. Best wishes to you and even more importantly: best of luck as you enter A.C. to join them in The Boardwalkers.

Readers Wowed (2nd Edition)

Amazon Reader, 5 out of 5-Stars: This is a terrific story. Sometimes it felt as if I was watching "Boardwalk Empire Part II." The story picks toward the end of prohibition in the late 1920s and early 1930s, where the HBO "Boardwalk Empire" series ends, and takes you to the birth and high times of Atlantic City casinos in the late 1990s. And what an amazing story Schofield tells! Highly recommended.

Amazon Reader, 5 Stars: “A compelling murder mystery that you can't put down once you begin! WOW! Once you begin this book you are pulled in and never let go! With the plot and so many sub-plots . . . so many threads which all come together in a surprising ending you just can't stop turning pages.”

Amazon Reader, 5 Stars: “An excellent and fast paced read! Both the book and the author are new to me and I can honestly say this was one of the best books I've read.”

Barnes & Noble Reader, 5 Stars: “Exciting and well written. I really enjoyed reading 'The Boardwalkers.' There was a lot going on in this novel, but the author handled all the different threads and scenarios perfectly, so I was never confused and always eager to see what would happen next. Schofield is particularly good with characters. There are quite a few, and each is unique, with a distinct personality. No stock, one-dimensional characters here.
