    About this ebook

    For his entire life, twenty-two-year-old Chance Lee has been dreaming of greatness -- something far beyond getting high in his mother's old farmhouse, and much more prestigious than playing in a twangy West Virginia country band on the weekends.

    Unlike many other small-town boys with lofty dreams, Chance sees his future of musical greatness, with his best friend Tollie at his side, as an undeniable fact. When a reading from a local fortune-teller seems to affirm his unstoppable luck, it's not long before he's ready to break out of Falling Waters and put his plans in motion.

    But when creative differences and the undeniable pull of home begin to get in the way, Chance is finally given reason to doubt his lucky star -- at least, until he finally hits the road alongside an unexpected companion.

    Blue Moon Luck is a fictional memoir, a coming-of-age-in-the-eighties, a nostalgic story of friendship, luck, and the power of dreams. The manuscript won the 1996 Maui Writers Conference Grand Prize under the working title, “With a Little Luck.

      I was promised a girl held her glossy image, shatterable, ice skating on a Soviet pond. I’d never seen snow but for the cut out paper flakes hung in school hallways. I only knew rain as intermittent confusion. Los Angeles in the ’80s. We set fire to
