The Lucky Loser: The Perils of Winning at Sex, Gambling and Friendship

John was a young man firing on all cylinders into a life of drugs, booze, sex, and gambling, and fully intent on thriving in all of it. With every passing month the drinks got stronger, the sex got wilder, the bets got bigger. Some might say that boogie, bars and broads had captured John, but he felt that he had captured them. Like a fat dog on a beach of dead fish John wanted to roll forever. The 70s had arrived with a tolerance toward minor sins, but why go venial when mortal is more fun?

Who's got a line on the next party, the phone line of the next girl, the line of bullshit that will put that girl on her knees or back, the next line of coke, and above all, the sports betting line. John never thought he had a problem, he had a life. John just didn't get it:

When you bang the wrong broad, and beat the wrong bookie, you got a problem.

Now the lines are all running against John.

His wild life screeches to a halt with a double murder that takes John into the unexpected.

About the Author
James, Dan: - Dan James never grew up in a small midwest rural town! Upon graduating near the bottom of his high school class, Dan packed four years of college into fi ve and a half years of partying, finally receiving a BA in Political Science. He says, Hey, it was easier than History. Does anyone really know what Political Science is? Surprisingly, as a young man with a college degree, Dan had trouble finding employment on those rare occasions that he actually looked. At the tender age of 24 Dan enrolled in the highly acclaimed, academically challenging School Of Bartending. Graduating near the top of this three week, rigorously demanding, training class, Dan launched his career as a Barman. Later (after much encouragement from parents), Dan took the Postal Clerk/Carrier exam and scored a 100 per cent. At last, Dan had found his niche, he could read addresses and successfully sort mail. Thirty- two wasted years later, Dan retired from the USPS, and embarked on a new career as an airline flight attendant. Seven years, and a world of travel later, Dan and his wife left the midwest for warm Arizona where Dan was recruited and trained as a Retirement Community Security Officer. After a few years of securing the seniors, guarding the grandpas, and escorting the elderly, Dan turned in his badge, mounted his Toyota and rode off to the sunny shores and Gulf breezes of Florida.
