About Cash Kushel
Paul Kushel was born in the Bronx, New York and was raised in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. He received an undergraduate degree from the Stern School of Business at NYU, where he was also awarded an MBA. After working at Arthur Andersen in New York City and becoming a CPA, he ventured off to Austin, where he attended the University of Texas earning a Ph.D.
Returning to New York he joined the faculty at NYU -Stern for eight years and won various teaching awards. In 1988 he traveled three miles north to Fordham University and has served on the faculty there for twenty-five years at the Graduate School of Business. He has been an award-winning professor at that institution as well.
He is well known in banking circles internationally as Cash Kushel, and has been using that moniker for three decades. Cash Kushel is his designated pen name, and he proudly inscribes that signature whenever he autographs the four novels he has written.
For more details on how Cash got his name - check out the blog-post that addresses that subject.
Cash is married to his wife Ellen and has three grown sons. He lives in Boca Raton, Florida.
In his career as a professor Cash has stated:
"What can be more satisfying than teaching and interacting with bright highly motivated young people? My objective is for my students to learn the skill sets they will need to succeed in their chosen professions, while developing critical thought processes. Being able to impart knowledge in combination with humor is the key to being an effective educator. When I teach my students I try to have as much fun as I can despite my subject matter (accounting and taxation). I hope that by wearing my enthusiasm on my sleeve it will rub off on my students. Enthusiasm is contagious. Because I enjoy being in the classroom, so do they."
In his career as a novelist Cash states:
"A day does not go by when I cannot wait to open my laptop and write another chapter, a page, or even a paragraph of my latest novel. It is so cool to create characters who exist only in my imagination but like magic now live on the written page. I want to share all of them with my readers.

Blog postI have gone to many Superbowl parties where the guests enter a football box-pool. The entrants buy “boxes” in a 10 x 10 grid, consisting of 100 boxes (combinations) in total. The entrants write their name in the boxes they purchase. The numbers used in the grid are chosen at random so each participant has an equal chance of receiving a favorable combination or possibly one that had little chance of being a winner.
Winners are determined by the score at the end of each quarter. For exa7 years ago Read more -
Blog postPeople ask “which one of my books is my favorite?’ As an author who had written three novels the answer was always easy. I have three sons and I love them equally. Since I also consider my three novels to be my children, the answer is just as clear. Just as my three sons are unique individuals, my three novels have totally different themes. So when it comes to picking among them, it is impossible. I can honestly say I hold each of them close to my heart.

Blog postIn many ways I have lived my life with symmetry all around me. Being an accounting professor, I told my students in my basic accounting course, that balance sheets must always balance and that a firm’s Assets must always equal Liabilities plus Equity.
I go on to tell them that Debits must always equal Credits. Given that these relationships must hold true, I have always suggested to my students that this should ensure they would achieve a score of 100% on every acc7 years ago Read more -
Blog postWith the birth of a child, the proud father often hands out cigars to commemorate the occasion. When an author’s new book is launched there are similar rites of passage. With my fourth book “Sense of Direction” debuting this month, I am struggling with the pressures of giving out free copies of my newest baby.
It might be better to express these gifts as “complimentary promotional materials.” But let me be clear. We are talking about giving out free copies! Freebies, if you will!

Blog postThe recent Supreme Court decision in United States vs. Windsor is a real game changer for same sex couples who are legally married. This decision will confer on these couples the same rights, privileges, or detrimental treatment, that federal tax law currently imposes on heterosexual couples.

Five years after Rodney fell to his death in a fraternity initiation ceremony, his friend Max Hardy reveals to Rodney’s father the true details of what occurred on that fateful night. The boy’s father blames generations of Mu Lambda Nu’s for perpetuating the irresponsible traditions that killed his son. He vows not to rest until he eliminates the fifty-five surviving members of his son’s fraternity lineage.

In Newark, a love triangle threatens the careers of three United States Marshals investigating the shooting death of a federal judge, while in New York City a stabbing at a trendy nightclub introduces a young police detective to a sexy provocateur. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, an attractive female detective is stumped by the murder of a prominent surgeon while struggling with feelings of unrequited love for her retired ex-partner. Even Rodney’s father meets a special woman who serves to both empower and distract him as he moves forward in his quest for revenge.
Their lives intertwine in a tense thriller where love and murder share equal billing.

Sense of Direction by Cash Kushel
(Author of Lotto Trouble; The Choosers; Stockhammer)
Cash Kushel brings Steven Kaye the professor from “Lotto Trouble” back in this fast paced thriller. Kaye is enjoying country club life in Boca Raton, Florida, and is focusing on an upcoming golf tournament. His son, Ross, enlists his help, asking for an unusual favor.
Kaye’s new task is to drive a presidential candidate Senator Dallas Dunn for the entire weekend through South Florida to political rallies and fundraising venues, culminating with the presidential debate at the University of Miami. Although well respected, the time for a Dunn candidacy may have passed him by. Considered by many to be too old for the job he is mired in fifth place in the polls as he tries one last time to secure his party’s nomination. Kaye respects the candidate but is hesitant to take on the assignment because he is directionally handicapped. His major challenge will be getting the candidate to each location on time, despite his inherent bad sense of direction.
Recent events trigger the senator to make a major speech about America’s border and immigration policy. This leads various detractors in an attempt to sabotage the senator’s candidacy. Due to a quickly changing landscape these factions eschew a political solution and instead adopt strategies calling for the senator’s death.
A local party powerbroker, a Mexican drug lord, a handsome cartel henchman, a former super model, a defense contractor, an Olympic equestrian, a retired Air Force General, a disgruntled employee, a billionaire media mogul, a down on his luck former Vietnam POW and outcasts from the Bulgarian Secret Police, play an important role in America’s future and the viability of a Dunn presidency.
This story transports the reader back to the horrors of the Vietnam War, and the massacre at the Munich Olympics, where enemies were made and alliances were forged. The El Paso Border Crossing, New Hampshire, New York City, the Virginia suburbs, Fort Lauderdale’s intracoastal and the luxurious country clubs of Boca Raton, are some of the settings of this sweeping story
KUSHEL has assembled a cast of characters who can warm your heart or boil your blood. Readers should vote for Kushel’s fourth novel as one of the best of the year!
