Horse Crossings: Recalculating

http://horsecrossings.blogspot.com/2015/08/recalculating.html

Thursday, August 6, 2015. Yes, my city has an island named Whiskey. If only I could use this for editing. Currently I am neck deep in snipping, rewriting, and tilting my head at my newest novel. I haven’t talked a lot about Finding Daylight. But it’s coming. Ideally I want to release it this winter, right around the time my city’s roads are covered in eight inches of heavy snow. This can’t happen until I have taken a pair of pruning shears to it, if you will, about ten times. So I decided to change that ...

Horse Crossings: July 2015

http://horsecrossings.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. Lately, I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to the concept of gratitude. I feel like optimistic, humble society members preach gratitude in all things in an attempt to stave off feelings of loss and inadequacy. But the more I think about it, the more I believe they might be on to something. How much will it set us back? Will we be able to recruit enough help to put it in the loft or will our backs feel like overworked pipe cleaners on the brink of snapping? And that’s al...

Fiction with Equestrians in Mind. 48 Hours in The Bluegrass: Part 1. April 19, 2016. Were we in Kentucky for 48 hours? We stayed three nights, so that isn’t quite right. But we only had two full days to take in the Bluegrass region — and believe me, it wasn’t enough. We went to Lexington for the Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award reception. Keeneland’s Walking Ring from the Phoenix Room. My novel Turning For Home. Was a finalist for the award. Where I walked on the cross-country course and found Ralph Hill’s.

Horse Crossings: Finding True Stories

http://horsecrossings.blogspot.com/2015/08/finding-true-stories.html

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Being commissioned to write a book is an exciting event, but, once the immediate thrill has worn off, the prospect can be daunting. That’s what I found when I was asked to write. Horse Stories That Really Happened. It was going to be the only horse book in a "Stories that Really Happened" series and I was required to provide 6 exciting horse stories set in a variety of time periods. To help with marketing, the publisher wanted at least one story to be set in the. As part of my re...

Horse Crossings: June 2015

http://horsecrossings.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 29, 2015. Repurpose. A favorite word of mine. From the time I watched Molly Ringwald’s character stitch two unfashionable dresses into one masterpiece in Pretty In Pink I’ve loved the concept. Perhaps in part because it requires a certain flair of imagination, and because it gives new life to something that might otherwise be retired. Useless. Thrown out. 8221; from the barn and he stopped, turned around and came back to me. But there are so many wonderful things about Galahad! We had just s...

Horse Crossings: April 2015

http://horsecrossings.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Writing, riding and brainwaves. As the newbie on Horse Crossings, I must start by saying – thanks for inviting me. As a reader, I’m fascinated that although many of the writers here live in different time zones from me, we walk to the same beat. Looking after and riding our two horses helped, too. When your brain’s buzzing, whether because you’re solving a plotting glitch or because you’re preoccupied with a work or family issue, you have to switch it to di...When I finished tha...

Saturday, May 30, 2015. Hinting at the Future. Chief, a gentle and willing gelding, came into my life. When I was thirteen. Folks would point to the brand on his neck and say, "See? Chief was an Army horse. And the "S" branded below the number meant he made Sargent.". One man told me I could "write to Washington" and armed with this brand, they could tell me all about my horse. The picture I took showing Chief brand. 1248) to send to Washington. Chief's birthday was always celebrated. Years later, after ...
