More Rescue Animals!

These two will gallop right into your heart!

I love stories with happy endings. One of the reasons I felt inspired to write the Rescue Animal Series is to shed light on a group of people who are extremely generous and dedicated to giving animals a second chance. My family brought home two puppies from SPCA of Amarillo, but our efforts does not come close to the sacrifices of those who care for rescue horses. The work and expense involved is monumental.

Two new releases in the popular Rescue Animal Series are now available in eBook and Print!

TAZ & THE BIG FLAPPY THING, Book 5 Rescue Animal Series, is about a registered Hackney who learns about flags and trains to ride in his first parade. Based on actual events, this rescue horse trains for the Veteran’s Day Parade. The flag is not scary any more, but what about the crowds, the strange looking animals called mules, the tap-dancers, and the big floaty things? It is enough to make a well-behaved horse go bonkers. Join Taz as he trains with Stephanie, and then walks the two mile Veteran’s Day parade route through downtown Amarillo.
