Carly Phillips | Luck
I don’t have my own good luck charm, per se, but I do operate on the presumption of superstition in some ways. And sometimes, thankfully, luck pays off for me! I definitely don’t like to presume good things will happen, I like to hope. I’m afraid of jinxing something. Can you really do that? I rarely tempt fate. But it’s an interesting concept, isn’t it? Luck?
LUCK is fickle. And yet many of us believe. When I ask myself why, I realize it’s because of HOPE. It’s the possibility that Lady Luck will step in and pick us up that provides a ray of hope. LUCK causes us to play the lottery, pick up a heads up penny, read fortune cookies, and many more crazy, superstitious things. It was the concept of LUCK that drove the idea for my new LUCKY series, starting with LUCKY CHARM.Fortune hasn’t been so kind, however, to the men in the Corwin family. And Derek Corwin is the latest to cross her path. Long ago, as revenge on a Corwin who stole her son’s fiancée, a witch proclaimed an eternal curse that every Corwin male who married for love would be destined to lose his woman and his fortune. Derek thought he could outsmart the long-standing Corwin curse by breaking up with Gabrielle, his first love – and marrying someone else. Now, divorced and broke, all he has left is his teenage daughter and a healthy respect for ancient sorcery. But then Gabrielle returns, determined to defeat the curse and rekindle their passion. But will her stubborn streak and her unwavering love be the lucky charm Derek so desperately needs?
After Derek comes Mike Corwin in LUCKY STREAK, June 2009 and Jason Corwin in LUCKY BREAK, October 2009.
I wanted to extend LUCK to my readers so I’ve created an on-going contest which encompasses all three books in this series for those who read them. I call it the “Lucky You” Contest. Put your own lucky charm to work for you! In 1 page or less, tell me about the one special item that brings you luck and why it holds that “lucky” place in your heart! Six lucky winners will receive a special gift! For more information on how to enter, visit www.carlyphillips.com/.So, what do you all think of LUCK? Does it exist? Are you at all superstitious? Or do you meticulously plan?

Hey Carly! Great to see you here :)
I look at luck as the icing on the cake. I don't bank on it, or take it too seriously, but I believe that an element of luck exists, it's just very unpredictable but can be very rewarding.
I think it's a reminder that life can go either way, so you better have an idea of where you're going and how to get there, and quite possibly have a back-up plan for those unforeseen circumstances.
Hi, Stacy! I think the best thing about luck is if you assume good things will happen, you can be prepared to act when they do! And then even better things come from it!
I'm with Stacy, luck is good but don't count on it. I think everyone hopes this will be it...but unless you put hard work and determination into what ever it is, aren't you sort of determining your own fate so to speak?
Exactly, Kelly! I think that's a part I left out of the blog and should have put in. Luck is great but nothing without hard work!
I agree with Stacy....if it comes my way I'm blown away and it's as she says "the icing on the cake".
