Summer has been busy, gardening ,painting, and two new
horses to break. After selling my eight year old mare I
bought a two year old Tennessee Walker filly. She was not
happy to leave her lovely owners who raised her and many
other colts. The box stall and princess treatment with no
work was traded for learning manner and beginning the
breaking out process. That lovely little mare hated me and
was out to kill, kicking running me up against the arena
wall and any other trick she could think of. We have now
come to an understanding and she has returned to her
former self. She's confident and a joy to ride.
About a mouth after I bought Socks my filly ,the breeds
called me. They had repossessed a young horse they sold
the year before. He was near stave to death. They would
give him to me if I was willing to nurse him back to
health. He is now a couple hundred pounds heavier and
learning to be a saddle horse. My granddaughter Cierra is
riding him.
The Midwest Book Review published a great review featuring
Paranoia in there on line magazine "Children's Bookwatch"
June 2009 calling Paranoia heartwarming and highly
recommending it. The review will also appear in the " Book
Review Index" published four times a year for academic,
corporate, and public library systems. I've read Paranoia:
A Cat's Tale as a part of the summer reading program at
the Edwall library in July. A great review came out in the
Spokesman-Review July 19, 2009 by Jim Kershner.
The Lincoln County fair was last week. I was a guest
Author of WSU/Lincoln County Extension at there booth and
read Paranoia. Bridget Rohner the Director made me feel
right at home. It was great meeting children and parents
who love and care about animals. Seeing there response is
a rewarding experience.
In October I've been invited to be a guest author at the
WORD conference hosted by Gonzaga University. I look
forward to here from you. Jane 9-2-09
