Behind the Pearls and Cloche Hats: The Creation of Ginger Gold

As I'm working on the 28th (!) Ginger Gold Mystery, I find myself thinking about how this journey began, and surprised (pleasantly) that Ginger and I still spend so much time together after all these years (nine!)

I asked AI for five questions readers might ask me.

“People aren’t just flesh and blood. They’re soul and spirit, too. When two people join physically, they also join spiritually, creating a soul-tie with each”
Lee Strauss, Sun & Moon

“Ginger expressed a desire for a Mary Pickford, and Haley asked for a Sidecar—American cocktails—but fortunately, the waiter hailed from Boston and had likely learned of them as Ginger and Haley had, by visiting illegal speakeasies.”
Lee Strauss, Murder on the SS Rosa

“Mr. Reed,” Haley continued with a clipped voice. “All women in America now have the right to vote, not just those who are over thirty like in your country. American women are considered equals to their male counterparts. Any”
