Interview with Yvette Prior about King Copper and Her beautiful review 🧡

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Book Reviews, Poetry

Dear Family and Friends,

I’m delighted to be over at Yvette’s today. She invited me to participate in an interview with her about King Copper, and she shares a snippet of her beautiful review on Amazon and how my book evokes memories of her beloved Cody...

Hello readers, 

        Today I am sharing about the book King Copper: Our dog’s life in poetry, by LAUREN SCOTT

My review is on Amazon and here is a snippet for the formal review there:

“King Copper was a short and beautiful read that I truly enjoyed. It’s not a long book, but it captures the experience of bringing Copper home, living with him, and loving him through to the remarkable age of 14 and a half. The author’s affection for Copper comes through so clearly, and the inclusion of poems, which included some excellent limericks throughout (this added a fun and charming touch). My favorite limerick was Choppers:

There once was a dog named Copper
Who sported a nice set of choppers
He’d wiggle for treats
Hold his nose up to beets
And would never eat a grasshopper!

FOUR QUESTIONS WITH LAUREN SCOTT

What’s your favorite part of the book and why?

LAUREN: The first part of the book consists of entertaining poems from when Copper was with us. Then the tone changes as the poems segue into sorrow when I was writing through the grief. So, reading the older poems about Copper’s lovable nature and humorous antics makes me smile. The photos I included also bring to mind precious memories.

What’s one thing you hope readers takeaway from this book?

LAUREN: When a furry family member or any pet passes that has touched our lives, the feeling is simply loss. They are not ‘just pets.’ Dr. Vicki Atkinson at victoriaponders.com underscores the reasoning in her review: “For many of us, our pets embody the qualities we long for in humans; especially those who disappoint us. Caring, loyal and loving, they ask only for those qualities in return – delighted by belly rubs and extra kibble now and then.”

      1. Thanks for saying that Lauren, and there were a few reasons I felt okay with adding my notes about Cody and my initial grief – it was because the main thing that brought me comfort was when folks shared about their dogs passing away – and that was another way of noting how valuable a resource King Copper is – or can be!

  15. I just finished your book last night, Lauren. It was as terrific as I imagined it would be. I left a review, but I don’t think it’s up on Amazon yet. I know you can find it on Goodreads.

  16. Lauren, thanks so much for doing the mini interview with me for my blog! Also, I really enjoyed the book too, which as you know, inspired me to share about my late pup, Cody, near the end of the post! Anyhow, cheers to a great dog you have had all those years and as someone said in a comment on my blog – “so many of us now feel like Copper is a darling to us too”
