16/9: When You've Used Up Sixteen Of Your Nine Lives

Near misses and a few direct hits. Brushes with mortality. Enjoy!

It would seem fitting, as my toe in the water of the world of writing, to describe a number of events which could have precluded me from telling my story.

Mercifully, for me, they didn't, leading to the birth of this ditty.

I hope you enjoy it, that it stimulates your thoughts as to what a lottery life can be and perhaps allows reflection on you and yours as you forge forward.

It is also my intention that this yarn be a forerunner to a suite of further offerings which shall include, but not be limited to, some the titles listed below, which shall also be found on www.lulu.com quite soon.

With every good wish,

Enjoy!
