Welcome to my "Riding Ring"

Horses have galloping through my dreams since I learned to talk and started asking for a pony. A lifetime of ponies later, I'm down to none. It seems strange, sometimes, to be horseless. But I still keep in touch with my last two steeds: Peregrino, a clownish Paso Fino, and Faxi, a bratty but adorable palomino Icelandic. Their new "moms" keep me up to date on their shenanigans.

My writing career began with the equestrian magazines, then blossomed and branched out into fiction. Here are just some of my many writings centered around that magnificent, noble creature:

Horses by eMail - My young adult novel, which follows the correspondence between two penpals - Karen, who lives in the US, and Melaina, who lives in the UK - and culminates in their meeting at an international riding competition in Australia. Can their friendship survive the competition? Read the reviews.

Animal Movies Guide - Reviews, synopses, interviews with actors and filmmakers and much, much more! Hundreds of horse movies covered.

The Horse's Choice - My book on natural, easy, low-key training you can do yourself. Fully illustrated with photos (appearances by Peregrino and Faxi, natch!) and step-by-step chapters outlining everything from bitting to curing a runaway, The Horse's Choice would be an excellent addition to any equestrian's library. Read the reviews. sold out / out of print, now considered a "collectible" item.

The Dance - From the back cover: Come to the beaches of Malibu, where innocence meets cynicism, and the two collide with a whole lot of horsepower! An entertaining mix of humor, tragedy, and romance, this edge-of-your-page story will put you right into spills and thrills of the wonderful world of horses, love and redemption. Read the reviews.

Horse Tales for the Soul Vols. 1 and 2 - compiled by Bonnie Marlewski-Probert who is a nationally respected horse trainer, teacher, writer and speaker, is a book of true, heartwarming and emotional horse stories.

Animal Magnetism (My collection of short animal stories, including horses).
