REVIEWS FOR "PETS IN PARADISE"
A sweet book for all animal lovers, especially those who have lost a pet...soothing enjoyment filled with comforting and funny dialogues.

Lighthearted, yet written with deep adoration for the animal kingdom. The explicit descriptions of the pets' capers and gestures deliver laughter and pure reading enjoyment!

_____Dear Lee, thank you for the
special inscription you put in my book. It really meant a lot to me. I can not tell you how very
much I appreciated the story 'Pets in Paradise'.
It actually made me cry!! I received it on
Tuesday and just finished it last evening. It was wonderful. It brought back
a lot of fond memories of our Lab / St.
Bernard, Alex, who we originally adopted from a no kill shelter, several years
ago. Alex has a unique story. He was actually surrendered by his owner for
neglect and abuse. I fell in love with Alex at first sight. He was so big,
dumb and dossal. After being approved for the adoption, he had a very happy
life for about 5 years with us. He was diagnosed with Lyme’s disease and faced a
downhill battle from that point going forward. June of 2010, we had him put to
sleep. (We believe he was about 10 years old.) I believe he is in paradise.
I also believe things happen for reason. I believe in a lot of your story,
because last fall we adopted another Lab. Marcia. She is almost the same
color Alex was and acts and does almost the same things. I sometimes believe it is
Alex in disguise, just a different size and sex. We also have one other Lab.
Zoe. She has been with us now for around 6 years. She was only a year old when
we adopted her. I truly love them both very much, and next to my husband, they
are the two of the most important friends in my life.
Well, I must go for now, but thanks for being the special animal person you are. You do a wonderful job!!!!

Carey assigns each of the pets we encounter a unique and distinctive voice. Many authors can't pull that off with human characters. When they get to the "pearly gates" he even affords them a choice: Stay in Paradise or return to earth and perform one more good deed.
The book is full of likable characters and small stories that make you chuckle and cry.
Highly recommended.

PRAISE FOR "GABBY...ALL ABOUT ME"
Dear Lee,
I just finished reading your book. I picked it up at Margie
& Ray's restaurant while we were in Sandbridge last weekend. What a
delight! I always enjoy a good dog story and the conversations between owner
and dog were a nice twist. Thanks so much for a good read and a great book at
the beach. Gabby seemed to be a very special dog and I'm sure she lives in your
heart forever.
Carolyn Phillips
Being dog lovers made all of Gabby's adventures dear to our hearts. If only dogs could talk!
Thank you for the lovely story that could be shared with so many generations. Your writing completed our summer vacation at the beach.
Fondly, Molly
I love, love, LOVE this book! It's adorable, sweet, funny, sad, etc. This is a must read for all doggie lovers! Congrats, Lee.

I loved this book!! I didn't want to put it down. Read it in two days. Being a dog lover I really loved the communication between Gabby and Scooter. I laughed all through the book. This was a light, fun and easy read. I hope there will be a sequel to it. I enjoyed it and if you are a dog lover like I am, you will too!! The other review stated that the people are too nice in the book but if you live in the area as I do and come for a visit, you will find that there are people here just like the book describes!! Dogs do change peoples lives for the better. I am a true believer in that!! I will definitely check out the other books from this great author!! (Amazon Reviewer)

Great book!! I'm an animal lover, Gabby reminds me so much of my dog that I had to wonder if someone interveiwed her for the book. The story sucked me in right away and I could relate to the rescue of a stray from a shelter, my dog is a pound puppy too, and she is very thankful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a pick me up, it will put a smile on your face. (Amazon Reviewer)

This is one of those sweet, entertaining stories that I like to read between heavy reads. I loved Gabby! How fun would it be to have a dog whose thoughts you could hear and understand, a dog with whom you could converse? It's an interesting concept for a story. I liked this book for what it was - light, sweet, and easy reading. It didn't make me tense, make me think much, or cause me any discomfort. Sometimes, that is exactly what I need. I love dogs and dog stories, especially one where a dog does not die. (Amazon Reviewer)
