Lucky Now and Zen

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.
