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.

Loved, loved , loved it. Very well written and humorous. I will look for more Lucky books.
I did not like it much. Could not finish the story.
Loved this and am reading the next series now.
Liked the heroine, Lucky and the other quirky characters. Will read the second book included with Lucky Double.
Loved these. Now I want to live in Vegas!
Great entertainment. Love the characters. Want to read them all!
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a fun look at Vegas and the characters were enjoyable.
A great read with a marvelous character and a wonderful sense of fun.
I am so enjoying this book–I am not a gambler, but would now love to go to Vegas and see it through a true ‘insider’ point-of view. I love the main character “Lucky”, who is the go-to person in the casino–this means she is part fixer, bouncer, detective and just all-over fun to know. What a great read!
Love this series! Fun!
Fast, easy read. Needed a break from other books and politics
First time reading this author. Truly enjoyed the 1st 2 books, went to the library and now on 3rd.
Loved the characters and their antics
It wasn’t for me. I finished the first book but wasn’t a fan of any of the characters.
An enjoyable read . . . Especially, for a rainy afternoon.
This is a fun series. I have only read the first two books so far but look forward to the rest!
I’m definitely buying all the books in this series. Loved it, one of those you start reading and can’t put down
Love the characters and all the trouble they get into.
enjoyable read
I am totally hooked on this series–it helps that it’s set in one of my favorite places! Usually I figure out the murderer in other books. But not the Lucky series! But you need to read them in order as the history of the various recurring characters is important. I’m just hoping she won’t take Teddie back!
