Been trying out my teaser skills:
“Were you born lucky? Have you been unlucky in love? Do you read your horoscope? Do you have your little superstitions? Occasionally feel like a puppet on a string? Like reading meaning into the most trivial of things? Tom Esher does. And he’s about to discover that he’s been looking in the wrong places and talking to the wrong people.…”
“Most cultures have a word for luck. Tom has two. Both of them are wrong. And they could get him into trouble…”
Well. As they say in the trade, they’re better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Although I can’t help feeling they’re for an altogether more exciting book than the one I am writing (although this exercise did give me an idea for Tom’s Universe III).
