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

Fun with Magic Mirrors

Magic mirrors are a fun and popular item in fantasies...from Snow White, to Harry Potter to "The Stone of Integrity-Book 3 of the Centaur Chronicles." This excerpt is a great way to illustrate the meaning of Integrity. Be honest and true...to yourself and others. The reflection in a mirror should reflect the true you!

Book Excerpt

The Stone of Integrity

The witch led them through the doorway and back into the main room of the shack. She slid the mirror across the floor until all could see into it. Carling looked at the darkened glass. At first, she could see nothing unusual. Her violet eyes were staring back at her, her lips pressed together in concern. Behind her stood Tandum, his arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face. Beside her stood Tibbals who was trying to fix an errant strand of hair. Then she noticed what was wrong. Hilgalda was not in the reflection.

Carling looked over at the witch, then back at the mirror. At the witch. Back at the mirror. Her chest tightened as she slowly shook her head. “I don’t understand.”

“It’s quite simple, really. This mirror reflects only the true you.”

“But...you are not there?”

“Exactly. The true Hilgalda has been lost for a very long time. I want her back.”
