"I robbed a bank. I got away with it. It wasn't even that hard."

Recent college graduate Joel Howard, former bench warmer for his small town college team, is optimistic about his future with his out-of-his-league girlfriend and a job prospect with a local insurance agency. But things don't work out the way he plans when his girlfriend dumps him and he remains stuck at his unfulfilling position at the local shoe store in the mall.

Desperately seeking a change of pace from his father's unrelenting nagging, Joel hatches a plan to rob the mall's bank on the night of Black Friday, 1987.

Joel has always been lucky, despite the current string of bad luck. Has his luck run out? Or will it return in time to get him out of trouble?

Lucky Duck is a comedic crime novel perfect if you're looking for something with the flavor of a John Hughes film from those 80s and 90s tomes like Risky Business or Breakfast Club.

About the Author
Garretson, Mike: - Mike Garretson's first experiences as a writer occurred when he was covering high school sports for local newspapers. After a career full of joy as a public school teacher, Mike has entered the arena of fiction writing. In Lucky Duck, Mike's debut novel, his love of sports and the 80s lifestyle comes through like frenzied crowds on a Black Friday before online shopping. Mike will follow up this, not quite dark, "but a little gray" comedic adult fiction with two Middle Grade novels, Standstill and Eric the Great. Mike has always been a part of a big family. Trips to beaches and ballparks are his favorite activities when he ventures away from the small-town Kansas living he loves so much. You might find him working on the high school baseball field getting his teams ready to play or being involved in various community events. Mike encourages everyone to support their local and school libraries in any way they can along with local booksellers. You can connect with Mike on social media @MikeGwriting.
