Is that by design?áWhen 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.á So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold.á 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.áPRAISE FOR Lucky Stiff&ldquo,Lively, funny, scary!
