Deborah Coonts

Novelist

Deborah Coonts, author of Wanna Get Lucky?, Lucky Stiff, and the upcoming So Damn Lucky, says her mother tells her she was born in Texas a very long time ago, though she's not totally sure -- her mother can't be trusted. But she was definitely raised in the Lone Star State on barbeque, Mexican food and beer. She currently resides in Las Vegas, where family and friends tell her she can't get into too much trouble. Silly people.

Deborah has spent more time in school than any sane person should, acquiring along the way a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business, a law degree and a master’s of laws in taxation. She has built her own business, practiced law, flown airplanes, written a humor column for a national magazine and survived a teenager.

The Lucky O'Toole Las Vegas adventure series is a Sex and the City meets Elmore Leonard in Vegas kind of thing, if you can imagine that. The books are sexy, wry, romantic, and slightly naughty mixed with a little murder and mayhem—shaken, not stirred—then illuminated by the bright lights of Las Vegas—one of the truly magical cities in the world.
