The Winning Streak

Book Cover & Preview Text
Scott lay there with eyes wide open, his mind whirling around the idea that he’d been touched with something, that morning at the window. When he closed his eyes, he could still see that streaking comet, the blinding flash of light, feel that deep breath. He eased out of bed and walked back to the window, almost tentatively. The goosebumps came back as he remembered the event -- encounter, epiphany, whatever -- that had started all this. It was real, and he knew it. So far, it showed no sign of going away. For the price of a Powerball ticket, they could be millions of dollars richer. It was almost a sure thing. Who wouldn’t go for it?

About the Book
On the morning of his twenty-fifth birthday, newlywed Scott Burroughs gets up and walks to the bedroom window. Suddenly, a bright light engulfs him.

From a scratch-off to a year’s supply of cheese puffs to a Powerball fortune, the winning streak sends him out on a gambling binge as he learns the hard way that winning has a dark side. After a shocking finish, he finds his calling and heads home to his true love.
