Join the fun today!áAN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTSWhy did you decide to write humor?áI&rsquo,m not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky, books, specifically to Lucky&rsquo,s own voice, it just happened that way.á When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble.á Finally, I&rsquo,ve found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good&mdash,or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother.á And when Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her.The Lucky O',Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design?áWhen I set out to write Wanna Get Lucky?, I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive.á So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold.á A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. A bit of a mash up, but it works.áPRAISE FOR So Damn Lucky&ldquo,Lucky&rsquo,s latest lark brims with the over-the-top ridiculousness that I love about Vegas. Fans of the series will fall in love all over again, and new readers will look forward to her next escapade.&rdquo, - Publishers Weekly&ldquo,Lucky&rsquo,s the kind of gal who will make any heart beat faster.&rdquo, - Kirkus Reviews&ldquo,A whirlwind of a kooky crime novel, and readers will enjoy every minute of it.
