A New Horse Book in the Barn

I’m delighted to announce the release of Book Four in the

Dream Horse Adventures Series.


Thirteen-year-old Selah’s perfect life unravels when her beloved horse is stolen. Then ten-year-old Emma buys the dream of a lifetime at a horse auction. When she learns the horse was stolen, even removing her hearing aid won’t drown out the voice telling her to make it right.


But two girls can’t divide the horse they both adore. So will life surprise them with an answered prayer?


Selah’s Stolen Dream

Editorial Review


Selah’s Stolen Dream, is a polarizing tale of dealing with the aftermath of a stolen horse. I not only read each word, I felt them. As a victim of theft myself, I found the characters realistic in their reactions to their life-changing moment, so much so I often teared up while reading.  If you want to understand what it’s like to have a horse ripped from your life, the thoughts that go through your head, and how one terrible act absorbs your life–then read this book.

It is well written, riveting and a must-read for every person who loves horses.

If you read Mary’s Song and liked it, would you take a minute to leave it a review. It doesn’t have to be much. Just your reaction to the story and why you like it. http://bit.ly/marysongebook


PLUS soon, I’ll be able to announce the release date of the third book in the Dream Horse Adventure Series. Seems amazing. I can’t wait to show you the cover.


Blessings

Mary’s Song – NEW Release

I didn’t mean to write backwards. After Selah’s Sweet Dream, I had to know Selah’s grandmother’s story. Her name was Mary and her quest was to save the crippled filly – Illusion.  Their story is Mary’s Song.


The cover – ah the cover! The art was done by Ruth Sanderson. (She did the covers for The Black Stallion paperbacks.)shastings-marys-cover-catalogue-sm


She is on Amazon. An ebook and a paperback.    http://amzn.to/2dLMcVu

First Place - Fiction

First Place – Fiction


We got to tour Ocala and meet lots of amazing people involved in the horse industry. One of the stops was Goldmark Farms!!! Goldmark treated us to a great lunch and took us on a tour of a premier race horse facility.  Lynn Palm treated us to a cowboy dressage demonstration!!  We visited the Sanctuary Rehabilitation Center or spa for horses and the Florida Horse Park. The Gala of Royal Horses demonstrated their “airs above the ground”. Thanks American Horse Publications for a great tour!
