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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR Lucky Bastard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If you're entertained by sex, innuendo and a few fantasies you'd like to see played out--and who isn't?--you ought to have Lucky and her extended Vegas family (So Damn Lucky, 2012, etc.) on speed dial.\" - Kirkus Reviews, starred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This fast, funny, frantic Vegas-set series offers great laughs as well as compelling mystery and intriguing continuing characters.
