Here’s the set-up:

One man held the fate of a nation and didn’t know it.  A socially significant mystery/thriller.

Every instinct I had told me to get out but I couldn’t, not now. This simple case would trigger repercussions that would unnerve the city, maybe the country. I was about to open doors that had been nailed shut for a lifetime -and the only path to the truth was through a labyrinth of deceit. I trusted no one, not even myself. My stomach tightened.

The ten years had slipped by like a century.  I never thought I’d see New York again and now I find myself buried in its bowels, unsure of what I was after – but I couldn’t stop until I found it. I snaked through the city bureaucracy, historical landmarks and some of the most prominent properties in the city, all intricately linked. Nothing fit, yet everything connected and answers only bred more questions. Somehow it had all been mysteriously tied back to me.

Deep within a maze of deceptions and betrayals, I uncovered a massive conspiracy among the most esteemed organizations in the world–and the truth that had sent my life into a tailspin ten years ago was far from true. Suddenly, this seemingly routine assignment had enormous stakes and consequences. Now it was up to me to mend an ancient injustice and the fate of an entire culture.

Here's the set-up:
He devised a system to beat the track in the 1930's and, a lifetime later, was crowned the best horseplayer in the country. What happened in between was the real story.

Dutching the Book is an American epic about the tests of friendship and a man's quest to be the best horseplayer in a world that is close to us all but few have penetrated successfully; horse racing and gambling. Four friends, family men with a penchant for gambling, stepped over the line because they had an advantage--they had Ben Collesano. He looked for an edge, found it, and bent the rules and when the rules changed, he bent them again. Based on real people and events over several decades, Dutching the Book is a tribute to those who really lived it.

Late 1930's Brooklyn, the Great Depression had almost gone. Ben's can't-lose scheme didn't--until the racetrack shut him down. Now, over twenty years later, a NYC fireman, he would be tested once again but this time the stakes were much higher.
One Reviewer Notes:
I raced to the finish and never looked back! This clever, engaging book highlights a part of the horseriding game that most of us never get to see firsthand. It illustrates the behind the scenes action that serious handicappers rarely share with the naive public. I learned alot about the potential consequences and rewards that can come about when you put everything on the line and follow what you beieve no matter what. This is a rare story of courage born of need.

Mad as hell? Not going to take it any more? Time to lighten up and enjoy an unlikely hero’s hilarious one-man crusade to make the world a better place. Our Kindle eBook of the Day, Ritch Gaiti’s TWEET, will make you laugh, make you think, then make you laugh some more – 4.6 Stars, just $3.99 on Kindle!

Before you go all Peter Finch on the world, join Glebe as his tweets make him the voice of the people in a tale so unlikely that it is totally plausible, definitely relevant, and very funny


Here’s the set-up for Ritch Gaiti’s Tweet!, just $3.99 on Kindle:



Glebe, an unlikely hero, scores big for the little guy as Glebe tweets his way to becoming the voice of the people in a witty tale so unlikely, that it is totally plausible, definitely relevant, and very funny.

A quirky, ex-adman, Glebe teams up with Hartwick, a black homeless gent, to create the consumer revolution that topples once powerful businesses. He just asked people “if you could change one thing, what would that be?” and tweeted his way to changing the world.

And his target included everything from dumb advertising to incessant telephone calls, the economy, the government and everything else that people were once powerless to impact.

Glebe did what you would have done if you had thought of it and were quirky and passionate and wanted to just make a diff.

From the reviewers:

In the age of instantaneous global communication, who doesn’t wonder at the implications of a single message having the power to change the world? But what exactly should be changed? Change itself? According to Gaiti, Tweet “…is about change–and the individual’s (in)ability to fight back against the large companies and government. It’s also about excessive consumerism and how the advertising and marketing companies are infiltrating every part of our lives.”–Benhamish Allen

Tweet is a touching story about one man’s struggle to find fulfillment in his life. When Glebe finds himself at rock bottom, both professionally and personally, he organically begins a journey toward making a difference in the world. I found myself cheering on Glebe through the book’s interesting twists and turns. –KM

couldn’t stop laughing! this book is funny and clever beyond possible explanation! love the writing style, love the subject matter, and hope there’s more to come from this talented and witty author. –N. Schrier



Glebe, Ritch Gaiti’s quirky alter ego, delivers another unique take of the world that we touch everyday – making the things that frustrate us the most suddenly understandable, fixable and funny.

Ritch has also written ‘Points: Women have them, men need them’, a tongue-in-cheek relationship book which can help you be successful in this marriage and all of your future marriages.

He also has written screenplays and many articles for magazines such as Private Wealth, Tango, Balance and others. Ritch has been featured on national radio and TV, including an appearance on the Today Show alongside Joan Rivers. Ritch is also a recognized artist, exhibiting in several galleries and museums throughout the country. His work can be viewed on www.gaiti.com. Before getting involved in arts and entertainment, Ritch was a technology executive on Wall Street. Ritch also is a private pilot, enjoys tennis and skiing.
