Luckless

YA, Speculative Fiction. (Writing in Progress)

What if luck wasn’t lucky at all? What if it became the enemy?

Everything you thought you were, everything the world thought it was—gone. Brought down by the fortune of luck.

Josie was supposed to be starting medical school, but that was before the Plummet. Before luck became real, instantly more desirable than money, and bringing down the world’s economies. All of them.

In a new land of lawlessness and bartering, the fight for survival becomes very real. The food and security of the farm are her family’s only option, but her father was taken shortly after arrival and her mother killed on the journey. Now Josie works back-breaking days, combing the land for the four-leaf clovers her boss trades to the highest bidder. With the dangers of the new world just beyond his fence line, and the most desirable product on earth within it, he has as many armed men as he does secrets. But what will Josie do when her new friends are threatened? Will she decide to lose yet another family—or take a clover and run?
