Lucky - Love and Blood in the Time of Jazz

As a young man, Lucky Mason survived the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. He credits Jazz music for saving his life. 15 years later, Lucky finds himself caught between rival mob factions vying to control his Jazz club in 1930's prohibition era St. Louis. To assist him, Lucky enlists the help of his best friend and mob enforcer, Frankie. What Frankie soon discovers is that the price for Lucky's club may be something money can't buy. Lucky is now forced to make a choice, a choice between Love and Blood or Jazz.

Writer Biography - Tyler C. Turner

I started my life in the deep south and came of age in the industrial mid west. My formal education is in the Humanities and a disillusioned study of the law. I don't consider myself a writer, but a story teller. The stories belong to the people and places. I tell them.

Writer Statement

I have lived in towns with populations ranging from 3,200 to 9 million people. Having met a wide range of people and personalities, I feel compelled to tell their stories.

"At times I almost dream. I too have spent a life the sages' way, and tread once more familiar paths".
