AN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTS
Why did you decide to write humor?
I’m not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky, books, specifically to Lucky’s own voice, it just happened that way. 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.

I found ‘Lucky” to be delightful reading! You still have to try and figure out ‘who done it’, but instead of the sometimes grim stories I subject myself to, these stories are just downright fun!
Twists and turns, good story line
Hard to put down. Believable. Well written.
Fun read!
The writer has a way of getting you involved with the characters by witty comments and come-backs. Writing style is something you can relate to and I enjoyed the story.
This book was a laugh out loud winner. Lots of fun!
The Lucky O’Tool books are great. The books are fun and very well written
Great characters.
It was action packed in following a woman who tried to put out fires in a large Vegas resort.
Enjoying the entire series
So much fun! I want more!
Fun, witty easy read.
I really enjoyed this book, the setting of Las Vegas and all the characters made it a very enjoyable and interesting read!
Well written murder mysteries in the Evanovich style. Funny with multiple male interests as in Evanovich. A bit better than the later Evanovich, but maybe a little less laugh out loud. Still funny though. Fun books to read especially when you are not in the mood for darker mysteries.
Thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to reading the rest of her series.
Loved the writing. Loved the characters. Loved the story. Will be reading more of this author.
Good book as all her books are.
Couldn’t get into it
Fun book to read. Can read it easily. Quick read.
I am hooked on this series now! If you loved the Stephanie Plum series from Evonovich you will like these books
