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

Miss Twizzle is the quintessential witch except that she likes her pink polka-dotted dress! She has learned that her powers can be very helpful, especially when you want your way. I have always loved Halloween. I don't take it seriously...to me it is just a fun holiday to dress up and give away candy! So, my witch in "Mr. Figgletoes' Toy Emporium" should not be taken seriously either. It is just a fantasy with a good message!

Book Excerpt

Mr. Figgletoes' Toy Emporium

Jasmine frowned and dropped her hands to her sides. She started whining. “I don’t like to do chores,” she said with a stomp of her foot.

“I don’t like to do chores,” Miss Twizzle mocked with a high, squeaky voice. She dropped her voice two octaves and said, “Now isn’t that too bad. That might have worked with your parents, but it won’t work with me. Get moving before I turn you into a fish!”

Jasmine wailed.

Miss Twizzle spun around. She slipped her hand in her pocket and pulled out her crooked wand, pointing it at Jasmine. “I’m warning you one last time,” the witch said between clenched teeth.

Jasmine wailed all the louder.

Twitching her wand, Miss Twizzle cried out, “Ickthomorphis.” Immediately, a beam of green light shot from the end of the wand and surrounded Jasmine.
