Lucky Me, a pulpy $0.99 Novel

John Schuessler · 10-21-2010, 12:35 PM

Fast cards and top shelf booze, money and a woman worth spending it with. Even if she is taken. Walt isn't his real name. He lost himself years ago. Not that it matters, when the the neon sun glows and lady luck isn't her normal miserable self.

LUCKY ME is about a man that isn't, about a card player on the fast track to the bottom and those he meets on the downhill slide. He owes the wrong guy money; he's tangled up with the wrong man's wife. The city that had caressed him, held him and promised him everything pulls him close, dreams and hopes lost to bitter reality. A hard place where luck runs cold and a shallow grave is too much to expect.

Then there's her. The reckless girl, the wild one, someone who needs to beat the odds or stop breathing. She's his death. He knows it and doesn't care. She's the taste of fine scotch, burning down his throat, killing him from within.

At about eighty six thousand words, LUCKY ME is a pulpy romp that fails as Noir. Hope clings to them, to the drunks and gamblers, to the pimps and dirty cops, living the lie that tomorrow will be a brighter day.
