Theirs is the story of being young during that turbulent time of Cold War paranoia, civil rights marches, political assassinations, anti-war protests, military conscription and enormous cultural upheavals that included hippies, women's liberation and of course sex and drugs and the greatest rock 'n' roll.

Autorenporträt
William "Scott" Morrison has been chasing the get-rich-quick American Dream for many decades while writing stories and songs on the side. Now in his late youth, he is channeling a lifelong interest in politics and history into telling the story of the times through historical fiction. Luck of the Draw, his second novel, follows the lives of the same characters who in his first novel, The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds, thrive in a luckier world where there was no Vietnam war. He lives quietly with his wife in the wine country of California.
