When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. 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. 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. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. 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 THE LUCKY O&rsquo,TOOLE VEGAS ADVENTURE SERIESá&ldquo,Lucky&rsquo,s story is funny, fast-paced, exuberant and brilliantly realized.&rdquo, - Susan Wiggs,á#1 New YorkáTimesábestselling author&ldquo,Get ready to win big--with a novel that will keep you glued to the pages all the way to the end.&rdquo, - Brenda Novak, New York Times & USA Today bestselling authoráMore fun than a winning streak in Vegas.
