Product Description

Luke Gallagher rules the world as the luckiest guy on the planet. Well, not literally. But he gets the grades, the girls, and the goals ever since he rubbed the belly of the Laughing Buddha statue in Chinatown at age 13. Magic or coincidence?

Five years later, his luck drops in the crapper. Now Luke's got to shovel his way out, past a bully and his jealous best friend, and maybe, just maybe, find true love.

In LUCKY NOW AND ZEN, readers ride the rollercoaster of Zen Buddhism, magic, weirdness, and first year university from the perspective of an ordinary guy falling from grace and building it back up again. It should appeal to fans of Nick Hornby and Neil Gaiman.

More About the Author

I've wanted to be a writer since I was five years old, but because I'm hypomanic, I like people and didn't have the chutzpah to jump into writing straight out of high school, I went to medical school, got married, and had two kids.

Now I'm an emergency doctor and I keep on churning out everything from picture books and poems to novels.

I've been published in Nature, The Dragon and the Stars, Indian Country Noir, Weird Tales, and lots of other fine venues. I'm a winner of the Innermoonlit Award and Writers of the Future. Publishers Weekly calls me "impressive" and "moving."

But the most exciting thing about the indie publishing revolution is connecting with readers around the world. Thanks for stopping by!
