Only Sure Things: When Nothing is Certain

by Josh Langston

Can you imagine what might happen if someone for whom nothing goes right suddenly meets someone for whom nothing goes wrong?

Perhaps more puzzling is how one might recognize such an encounter when it occurs. And who would ever imagine that the catalyst for something like this would be a large, mostly white, mixed breed dog?

But that’s precisely where Danica Winters’ story begins. See how it all plays out when this homeless, twenty-something, ex-Marine, encounters a retired physics professor with a profoundly dysfunctional family.

Only Sure Things presents a fast-paced story of mystery, murder, and manipulation. And it does so with a good bit of humor. If nothing else, it proves that trying to take advantage of an ex-Marine is inherently dangerous.
