Maya,
Thank you for asking. Whatever book I'm working on---it is my favorite. When it's finished and I write on, it will still always have a special place in my heart because I was completely engrossed in each and every one as they were written. Do you have a favorite?

I'm sorry to have taken SO LONG to reply to your question --- it was buried in here. I'm delighted to hear that you loved Mary's Song and hope that you were able to find the other books in that series and the next Dream Pony Riders. Thank you for reading and for writing to me.

Becca,
Definitely a good idea to overcome "boring".
Every writer has a different process so you will come into your own.
Perhaps you could try writing a basic plot outline. The story has to have a character the reader cares about with a clear goal, and obstacles in front of the goal. Keep asking yourself how can this can go all wrong. Conflict is what keeps the reader engaged. Good luck with it.

I'm delighted you enjoyed the Dream Horse series. Thank you for letting me know because it encourages me to keep writing. If there was a book 5, where would you like to see the series go?
Currently, I'm working on a new series, Dream Pony Riders, but it is also below your reading level. Take a look at the covers though - you'll love the art. Abby's Pony Love and Lily Makes A Way are newly released.
Thank you for the book love.

I would love to visit Walter Farley's island where The Island Stallion lived.

Most anything can inspire a scene... a memory or an experience, but I don't wait for inspiration. I read what I wrote before and keep going. It's all about living in the present and life's adventures on the journey.

The JOY! Knowing that you are doing exactly what the Lord designed you to do.

After Selah's Sweet Dream, I couldn't stop wondering what her grandmother's story was at Selah's age.(12) That question is now my work in progress and it is entitled Mary's Song.

Riding my horse on wooded trails in the Sam Houston National Forest whisks away all brain fog and cobwebs.
