Exciting adventures for young readers and teens that are also enjoyed by adults. Fall in love with the outback of Australia, the teens who are growing up there and their horses, and go with them on the amazing ride into adulthood where they will represent their country in their chosen sports.

The first two books of The Outback Riders series available here together.

In "Horses Of The Sun" you travel to Sunhaven Downs, a drought ravaged cattle station in outback Australia, which is the home to Dane, Lani and Matthew Winter, three young outback riders whose lives centre around their horses. When their city cousin, Amy King, is left there for a year and declares that she hates horses, they know their lives are ruined. What they don't know is that Amy has a secret - a secret she is desperate to keep from her outback family, something that will ultimately save their lives - but not all of them - on the night the drought breaks.

In "Horses Of The Light", Dane, Lani, Matthew, Amy and Brandon decide to spend the start of their Christmas holidays searching for the Min Min lights. They camp out by themselves at the Sunhaven Hills and explore the canyon, seeking the Min Min, but their lives are on a collision course with three escaped criminals and they have to use every bit of their outback know-how to escape their clutches. The excitement builds to a nail biting crescendo in the depths of Sunhaven Gorge, and tragedy strikes, but they will overcome all obstacles as they are the Outback Riders.

Approximately 105,000 words.
