I'm working on the last book of the Ginger Gold 1920s Mystery series (bringing all the main secondary characters that have appeared over the course of 31 books in one place ~ super fun!)
The idea that this is the end of the Roaring Twenties road for Ginger is a bittersweet. I need time to digest just how I'm feeling about that, and will blog more about that issue in the near future.
At the same time, I'm working on the companion book for my upcoming Kickstarter campaign, and that has made me realise that I've forgotten a lot about the road Ginger has travelled. She and many of the characters have changed by the end of the series, from who they were at the beginning. This became even more clear to me as I started re-reading the books starting with Murder at the SS Rosa.
Yes, I'm reading my own books and surprised by them! I love the strong ladies there who are so different from each other, starting with Ginger and Haley, then adding Felicia and Ambrosia. I'd forgotten how emotional Ginger and Basil's "push-pull" romance was, especially in the book I'm currently reading now, Murder at Kensington Gardens. Poor Basil. Poor Ginger!
In many ways, it's like I'm discovering the series for the first time, while at the same time, I remember when...

If you're a reader of the Ginger Gold series, I'd love to know what book you are at now.
Have you ever finished a series only to go back to the beginning and start over again? If so, which one? Maybe I'll try it out next!
Let me know in the comments.
