"Are her developing psychic abilities bringing visits from horse spirits or is her troubled mind playing tricks on her?"
I never thought meditation would have me talking to horses, let alone writing on their behalf. Nonetheless I am excited to announce the release of my very first novel—Calico Horses and the Patchwork Trail. It's the story of how a girl ripped apart by divorce helps the wild mustangs torn from the range. Together they face uncertainties brought on by the decisions of others.
It's available now as an e-book, and as a print release the end of March. Recommended for readers age 8 and up, it's not just a young adult book. Adults who have struggled with adversity are making the connection to the book's themes. I invite you to watch the video (less than two minutes)... The cover was illustrated using colored inks and watercolours and yes, I am the artist.
This book was written with the sole purpose of raising awareness to the plight of the wild horses and burros being ripped from their natural habitat. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to support the rescued horses that are now in equine sanctuaries. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Synopsis: “When the Spirit of Horse speaks to a ten-year-old girl through her dreams and calico patches magically appear as if from nowhere, the residents of Saddlecrest, Nevada have a genuine mystery on their hands. It's the story of how a girl ripped apart by divorce helps the wild mustangs torn from the range. Together they face uncertainties brought on by the decisions of others. Carrie's mom decides to uproot her from their familiar Jersey Shore home and move to the dusty deserts of Nevada. The move is as prickly to Carrie as the cactus beside her new home. But something mysterious greets her when she closes her eyes each night-like a winding path, her dreams guide her to the horses of the Calico Mountains. Are her developing psychic abilities bringing visits from horse spirits or is her troubled mind playing tricks on her? Her new friend Milla has nightmares of her own-she's the daughter of a government official known as "The Horse Killer." How can a few children make a difference to the plight of the foals snatched from their homes without warning? Like the tiny patches of cloth that adorn a calico quilt the clues draw them all together. Follow the Calico Horses as they lead us down the trail of adversity to the peaceful pastures found by helping one another.”
