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.

Good characters and plot
Can’t wait till the next one comes out.
Entertaining when light reading necessary.
I started this book and only could get through a few chapters. It was very hard to follow. The story was all over the place.
Nothing special, somewhat entertaining
I didn’t know much about Las Vegas behind the scenes. This is a very entertaining way to learn about it. The characters would be off-the-wall in any other venue, but become “normal” in Vegas standards. Many times I laughed out loud while reading.
Fun read
This is a new arthors for me but already a favorite. Lucky is amazing and you will love her. The world of money and ultra rich casinos is fascinating, these books make that world come to life. It’s fun and well worth your time.
Fun book. Great characters. Felt like I was in vegas right in the action. Some steamy scenes but not to steamy for this grama.
Some of my very favorite characters in fiction. Lucky Forever!
Fun series! Lucky is one of a kind. Quick easy read and interesting backstory.
A fun, fun read.
It was so full of beautiful, rich and out-of this world that I only finished it because I always read the book to the end sometimes skipping over the more outrageous passages
Ah, Sarcasm. Feels like home.
It was an interesting quick read. I did not realize when I purchased it that I had already read book one.
Great characters and always entertaining
Just a good read for a beach day
I love a heroine who is six feet tall. Enough of the tiny, delicate beauties. Lucky is wonderful.
I ill watch for more books bout Lucky O’
toole
I thoroughly enjoy the Lucky series. Love the wit and humor she displays. Can’t wait to read the next one.
