    • A New Paradigm: Two Years of Standing in a Field With Horses

      It’s been nearly two years since the first release of my memoir in eBook format. I never imagined that more than maybe ten people would read it, to be honest. I wanted to connect with others who might feel the way I felt around horses, but I wasn’t sure it would happen. Thankfully, even in…

    • Right Activity for the Right Day

      Have you ever showed up to the barn to work with a horse, brought them out of the pasture, and quickly realized that they were having a bad day? Maybe they walked away from you when you went to halter them, when they normally halter just fine. Maybe they were sticky and hesitant to move,…

    • Riding the Line

      In working with horses I’ve been lucky enough not to run up against time limits very often. Time limits like “we have to get this horse ready for this show,” or “the farrier comes in two weeks and if this horse can’t be trimmed then it’s feet will start degrading before the farrier comes around…

    • Fall is Book Reading Season!

      It’s November, and we’ve had chilly weather here on the east coast for the past few days. Soup weather. Cozy blanket weather. Book weather. It’s also time for me to begin thinking about holiday gifts for friends and family. It sneaks up on me every year, and by December I’m always so busy.  If you’re…

    • Horse Book Dreaming

      The weather here became decidedly autumnal this weekend. Heavy rains and wind from a tropical storm, and nighttime temperatures that convinced the barn to swap horses from night turnout back to day turnout. It feels like book writing weather. I have plans for my next book vaguely in an outline, but am a little nervous…

    • Traveling Around

      The book and I are on vacation this week, wandering through the Appalachian mountains again. I took along a few copies to drop off in various places. If you see my book in the wild, it may be that I left it in a coffee shop somewhere! It feels good to have some time off…

    • Authors Love A Review

      When I began the self-publishing process for the first time, I had no idea how much of a struggle marketing would be for a first-time author with no public persona developed. Amazon frowns upon selling things to your friends and family, and having a pseudonym doesn’t help with social media discovery. I did some sleuthing…
