A Stable of Authors discussion

I just posted a review of Bev Pettersen's Backstretch Baby, and plan to do more reviews going forward of adult horse books. Is there any room in this group for notices about reviews? Just wondering! (I enjoyed the book, by the way, even though I'm not a romance fan.)

I've just finished Natalie Keller Reinert's Ambition. I'm going to the Indiana Writers' Workshop this weekend, so I'll review it when I get back. Preview: if you like eventing and romance, you'll enjoy it.

My review of Natalie Keller Reinert's Ambition is up at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show.... Fun read for horse folks! Let me know what you think!

It's about a mare who travels to the mountains to find a herd. Please review! I'm also willing to review books about horses.
Thank you!

I had my reasons for reading and reviewing a 1993 Dick Francis title, Decider. It holds up reasonably well to my memories of reading Francis's early thrillers, and reminds me of some important lessons for writers. Check it out: https://justcanthelpwriting.wordpress...

Virginia, thank you for doing all these reviews! Would you be willing to review either one of the books in my Shade Break Farm series? The first one is a short story, only about 35 pages long, and the second is a full length novel. Here's a link if you're interested:

I would like to add to some of the reviews here if that's ok!

I loved the series by Grace Wilkinson...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Loxwood by Grace Wilkinson drew me into the world of behind the scenes of horse racing. Georgia was a young, independent girl, who lived her life for the love of horses. Her small paying job of exercising them took every minute of her time, except for the riding lessons she could squeeze in from a loving and caring friend, Rose.

Georgia fell in love with one special horse, Loxwood, in which she dreamed of riding over event courses and maybe a little dressage. Her home life wasn't the best and her day dreams about Loxwood where making her fail her studies at school, but she was determined to continue to bring out the best in Loxwood, so he won't suffer the fate of race horses that weren't fast enough.

I had a few "oh my gosh" moments reading this story, as I was already hooked with the same emotional attachment that Georgia was going through with the fate of Loxwood. This is an excellent read, although fiction I found it very informative. 5 Hoof Stars

Also, Crossing Boarders by Debra Sue Brice...ages middle school to adult...Clean, fast paced read!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Debra Sue Brice has filled her debut novel Crossing Boarders with diverse characters, humans as well as horses. Finding the courage to leave her home in Ohio and daring to try a long sought after dream in Canada while still keeping to her moral upbringing, created quite the challenge! Dana's adventure turned out to be a bit surprising, as she had to decide how to handle the different situations that quickly arose. Figuring out how to handle the attention of a handsome barn manager as well as learning how to cope with the personalities of her fellow equestrians, along with a bit of a mystery, made her realize that trusting in her faith was more important then ever.

This novel was a fast paced book, hard to put down, and left you wanting to know what the next adventure was going to bring. 5 stars
