When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I've found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good—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?When 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.PRAISE FOR THE LUCKY O'TOOLE VEGAS ADVENTURE SERIES"Lucky's story is funny, fast-paced, exuberant and brilliantly realized." - Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of Family Tree"Get ready to win big—with a novel that will keep you glued to the pages all the way to the end." - Brenda Novak, New York Times bestselling author of Trust Me, Stop Me, and Watch Me"More fun than a winning streak in Vegas." - Diane Mott Davidson, author of Fatally Flakey"Deborah Coonts...entrusts the sleuthing to a brainy beauty who sees the lighter side of human folly." - NYT Book Review"Las Vegas is the perfect setting for this witty tale of misdirection and larger-than-life characters. Fans of J. A . Konrath's Jack Daniels series will love this." - Library Journal, starred review"A whirlwind of a kooky crime novel, and readers will enjoy every minute of it. Coonts provides the perfect solution for readers waiting for the next Stephanie Plum book." - Booklist
