I've been writing children's and young adult books since 1982. Most of my over 30 titles have been published with Greenwillow Books, including the Beware the Mare series, Unbroken, Chase, and an award-winning trio of pony stories--Runaway Radish, Birthday Pony, and Jigsaw Pony. These books have been recognized for their value as transitional fiction--not that I knew that's what I was doing! I was just using the simple language and structure that I love to tell stories about bad, good, and good/bad ponies. More recent works include Horse Crazy! with Storey Publishing--I love Storey!--and a forthcoming easy-reader with Candlewick called "Bramble and Maggie". I'm also writing a couple of novels in the Breyer Horse series--just turned in one about a Quarter Horse and cutting, and will move on to a Morgan story, which will feature my own fascinating and wicked young mare, Robin. And I'm writing a book about clicker training for kids, and the history of my town. Picture at left was taken before I started to have this mad gleam in my eye.
