Blurb
Two things that Jack Smith has always had: bad legs and bad luck. With a violent attack at the Tarrytown Independence Day Carnival, that bad luck has caught up to him with deadly consequences. Going on the run with Jaelle–the mysterious girl of his dreams–he descends into a world of curses, blessings, and fortunetelling Gypsies. The deeper he gets, the more he realizes she might just be the one to save his life... or end it.
The Mr. Lucky Trilogy begins with A Curse of the Lucky.
Excerpt
“This place is huge,” she replied in a hushed tone.
“You must have missed the sign on the way in. It’s a group home. Or was. I’m the only resident left. Long story.”
“Like an orphanage?”
“Yeah. Now we have to be quiet.”
She nodded and clutched her massive duffel-purse closely to her chest.
I opened the car door slowly, got out, closed the door without a sound, then leaned on it hard to make the latch click closed. Jaelle did the same on her side of the car and followed me as I crutched across the wet grass of the front lawn. I got to my bedroom window between the shrubs and slid it open. Lowering myself in, I touched down on the bench press.
Once on the floor I waved for Jaelle to lower herself. As she slipped in, feet-first through the window, her skirt snagged on the sill and slid up. My heart jumped into my throat. Her toned, smooth calves hung in the air, followed by the backs of her knees, then her silky thighs. Right in front of my face. Was this really happening?
Oh God! I actually had a girl sneaking into my bedroom. Was it clean? Had I left my dirty laundry out? Dirty dishes? Underwear? Lingerie catalogs? I tried to scope out the room in the dark to see what I could quickly stash.
“Psst. Hey!” Jaelle whispered harshly.
“Yeah?” I said turning back to her, greeted by her naked legs dangling from the window.
“A little help?” She said tugging on her skirt.
“Oh, sorry.” I unhooked her skirt from the sill.
Jaelle lowered herself the rest of the way in until she stood on the bench press and pulled her bag in after.
I crossed the room and opened the door a crack, listened for a few seconds, heard nothing from upstairs and closed it quietly. I flipped the light switch and heard a gasp.
Great. What did I leave out?
I turned to find Jaelle standing in front of the painting.
“Jack?” she asked, turning to me and pointing to the painting. “Is that me? Did you do that?”
“Yes. Uh, and yes.”
“Wow.”
“Kinda stalkerish and creepy. I know.” I crossed the room as quickly as possible and grabbed the painting to stash it behind something. Anything.
“No, it’s beautiful. I mean, it sounds conceited for me to say a picture of me is beautiful but, uh, yeah.”
“Thanks.” We stood in awkward silence for a moment, looking at the painting. “Can I ask you a question?”…

Author’s Note RE: the Mr. Lucky Trilogy & Dark Matter Heart:
The Mr. Lucky Trilogy is a Dark Matter Heart World Expander. The events in this series take place in the same world, with the same paranormal concepts and rules as Dark Matter Heart, but with all new characters and adventures. Opportunity abounds for crossover stories bringing all the characters together.
It is not necessary to read Dark Matter Heart to enjoy the Mr. Lucky Trilogy, but I think you’ll like it.
