Inhaltsangabe

The first true "boomer" novel. Tells it like it was. From the baseball playgrounds of Little League in the conservative Fifties through the Summer of Love and the radical Sixties to the last days of the Vietnam war, Luck of the Draw is the story of four idealistic boomers coming of age while looking for love and trying to change the world. Theirs is the story of what it was like to be young during that turbulent time of Cold War paranoia, political assassinations, the fight for civil rights, counter-culture hippies, the sexual revolution, women’s liberation, military conscription, televised war, massive anti-war protests, and of course sex and drugs and the greatest rock ‘n’ roll. Luck of the Draw is a companion novel to The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds, in which the same characters live and love in an alternate universe where there was no Vietnam War, the Kennedys and Martin Luther King were not killed, and find themselves helping a "good" Richard Nixon in his fight to make America energy independent.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

William "Scott" Morrison grew up in Pennsylvania in the Sixties and now lives quietly with his wife in the wine country of California. A serial entrepreneur by day, he has been chasing the get-rich-quick American Dream for many decades while writing stories and songs on the side. Now in his late youth, he is channelling his obsession with politics and history into telling the story of the times through historical fiction. His first novel, The Energy Caper or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds, is set in an alternate universe where there was no Vietnam War and a "good" Richard Nixon is fighting to make America energy independent with the help of a group of idealistic boomers looking for love and trying to change the world. In his second novel, Luck of the Draw, these same idealistic boomers live and love in the world in which the war in Vietnam was very real. Neither novel is a prequel or a sequel; rather they are equals that tell the story of the differences in the characters' lives in a world that might have been and the world as it actually was.
