Paris! Lock up your women, your bank executives, and your booze 'cuz Bob Johnson's midlife crisis is on the looze. Bob (Buhb) Johnson, a brilliant, dedicated player in the multi-billion dollar banking acquisition game is the lone wolf on a mission in Paris to secure his Canadian bank's bid to make the short list of acquiring a French bank. Soon a merciless boss and a forgiving bottle, the allure of the city and its spleen unfolds prompting Bob to question his commitment to the bid. Bob, a quick-witted divorcee arrives a week early to brush up on his French, however, he inadvertently tangles with a homeless man, sleeps with a famous French actress, befriends a group of pick-up French basketball players, and encounters a woman who may or may not be his daughter, all of whom provide the electro shock he desperately needs to revive his "mojo" and connect with the human race again, but at what cost? "Banking On Paris" combines the worlds of banking and Paris in a charming and humorous manner.

Ken Samanski is a graduate of the Humber College School of Creative Writing and has degrees in Commerce, French, and Math. Ken's first book "French Like Me" is available in three English bookstores in Paris including the vaunted Shakespeare and Company. And he can add that Stephen Clarke, the celebrated British comedic author of "A Year in the Merde" has Ken's book in his possession. (That story would have to be explained over either a beer or a latte.) His shelf life as a high school Math teacher soon to expire, Ken is looking forward to retiring and writing fulltime in Paris. Ken is working on a third novel about a quick-witted writer who pulsates Paris in a style reminiscent of Mordecai Richler's Duddy Kravitz.
