Kate’s 2¢: “Ginger Gold. Books 5-7.5” by Lee Strauss

“Ginger Gold. Books 5-7.5” by Lee Strauss 

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I tend to blister when people feel entitled to take  their non-service dog where it is illegal to do so. While my guide dog is well trained, she is a dog, after all, and would love to play with the little yapper in your arms. By distracting my service dog, it is my safety you are jeopardizing.

   Once I got over the irritation of this apparently haughty broad feeling entitled to taking her sorry excuse of a lap-dog  everywhere, I relaxed and began to enjoy the stories.

   Ginger’s Boston Terrier, Bos, was instrumental in discovering the body, giving Scout a purpose, and generally comforting his mistress, he did seem well-behaved and adorable.

   It was fun to imagine all the frocks Ginger and the others wore. Quite a clothing allowance, even if she did own the boutique. I liked the way each story added on another episode, even though, it was a complete story in its own right. And, of course,  the over-all narrative arc found the gold at the end of the rainbow.

   Except for a lot of sales pitches for her books, I didn’t find out much about the author.
