When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I&rsquo,ve found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good&mdash,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?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. 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.áPRAISE FOR Lucky Bastard&ldquo,If you&rsquo,re entertained by sex, innuendo and a few fantasies you&rsquo,d like to see played out&mdash,and who isn&rsquo,t?&mdash,you ought to have Lucky and her extended Vegas family (So Damn Lucky, 2012, etc.) on speed dial.&rdquo, - Kirkus Reviews, starred review&ldquo,This fast, funny, frantic Vegas-set series offers great laughs as well as compelling mystery and intriguing continuing characters.
