My mother tells me I was born a very long time ago, but I’m not so sure—my mother can’t be trusted. These things I do know: I was raised in Texas on barbeque, Mexican food and beer. I currently reside in Las Vegas, where my friends assure me I cannot get into too much trouble. Silly people. I am the author of WANNA GET LUCKY? (A NY Times Notable Crime Novel for 2010 and double RITA™ Finalist), LUCKY STIFF, SO DAMN LUCKY and two digital novellas, LUCKY IN LOVE and LUCKY BANG. My upcoming releases are tow digital novellas, LUCKY NOW AND THEN, Parts One and Two (March and April 2013) and the fourth Lucky novel, LUCKY BASTARD (May 14th in hardcover). I can usually be found at the bar, but also at www.deborahcoonts.com.

A GATHERING OF SCRIBBLERS
When I had a real job, I never thought I would miss going to the office. In fact, to this day, offices give my hives.
COPYCATS
Plagiarism. An ugly word. An even uglier accusation. Normally I don’t like to tackle serious topics, but being both a lawyer and a writer, I
SO DARN LUCKY
My mother tells me all the time how lucky I am. She’s right, of course. But what she doesn’t factor is how darn much work
To-Dos
I love lists. Actually, what I really get off on is crossing stuff off lists. So much so, that I’ll even admit to making a
SLOWING DOWN
I awaked this morning and discovered it was October. October? Really? What the heck happened to the first nine months of the year? And the
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
I learned something new today: you cannot get anywhere easily from Raleigh-Durham Airport. Yes, I am on the road… again. And today proves what I
