"Evanovich... with a dose of CSI." Publisher's Weekly
Deborah Coonts' mother tells her she was born in Texas a very long time ago. Deborah isn't so sure--her mother can't be trusted. These things we are fairly certain of though: Deborah was raised in Texas on barbeque, Mexican food and beer. She is the author of WANNA GET LUCKY? a humorous romantic mystery set amid the glitz, glamor and gaudy of Las Vegas. WANNA GET LUCKY? was a NY Times Notable Crime Novel and double RITA(TM) Finalist and received several starred reviews as have the five sequels. Currently Deborah is stretching her writer muscles working on a women's fiction/contemporary romance series set in Napa--the first novel, CRUSHED, is out now. To follow will be a dark thriller, a romantic suspense series featuring a female helicopter pilot, as well as the next Lucky adventure--all very different projects. So, if you see Deborah with a glass of Champagne in hand, you'll understand. She can usually be found at the bar, but also at www.deborahcoonts.com
