Im not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky books specifically to Luckys own voice it just happened that way. When I was a kid my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally Ive 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 OToole 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.PRAISE FOR THE LUCKY OTOOLE VEGAS ADVENTURE SERIES Luckys story is funny fast-paced exuberant and brilliantly realized. - Susan Wiggs #1 New York Times bestselling author Get ready to win big--with a novel that will keep you glued to the pages all the way to the end. - Brenda Novak New York Times & USA Today bestselling author More fun than a winning streak in Vegas.
