Is the novel autobiographical?
The short answer: Raven Townsend is good-looking, has jet-black hair, brown eyes, and is a babe magnet. Unfortunately, I am none of the above. However, there are some similarities that were drawn from real life: Like the protagonist, I grew up in Maine, went to a conservative college, and first learned about card counting by reading a magazine article in the library featuring Ken Uston.
