Author Biography

I am a wife, a mom and a grandmother. I am also a competitive equestrian and award-winning author. I especially love to write about horses, both real or fantasy. In 2016, I released, "In the Heart of a Mustang." This story is not a fantasy but it is all about horses. This coming of age young adult novel has won the 2016 Gold Medal from the Literary Classics Awards in Young Adult General Fiction and the Silver Medal in the Nautilus Awards as well as the Silver Medal from Readers Favorite Awards. My current project is a four-part series titled “The Centaur Chronicles”. I am excited about this new middle-grade fantasy. The first book, “The Stone of Mercy,” was released on Oct. 1, 2016. It has already garnered several awards including the Gold Medal from the Feathered Quill awards. The second, “The Stone of Courage,” was released on April 15, 2017 and has won a Book Excellence Award. Please visit my website: http://www.dancinghorsepress.com

Book Excerpt

Mr. Figgletoes' Toy Emporium

The Toy Emporium

Only one store along East Sherman Avenue in Coeur d’Alene caught the attention of every child in the passing cars. Large, fancy letters painted with red and outlined in gold curved across the front of the building. They spelled out the words: “Mr. Figgletoes’ Toy Emporium.”

“Stop!” cried Jasmine from the back seat of one of those passing cars. Her hands and face were pressed against the window of the car door.

Startled, Jasmine’s father slammed on the brakes. The car behind them screeched to a stop, swerving to the right to avoid hitting them.

“Jasmine, why did you scream?” said her father, a forced calmness in his voice. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and set his jaw as he glanced over his shoulder toward his eight-year-old daughter.

“I want to go into Mr. Figgletoes’ Toy Emporium,” Jasmine said, folding her arms across her chest with a humph. Her round, blue eyes opened wide as she set her mouth in a firm, well-practiced frown.
