Interesting Facts About Arabian Horses

Since the main characters in my new book A Champion’s Heart are breeders of Arabian Horses, I thought I’d post some facts about this fabulous breed.

Arabians that are born black will turn white….FALSE. Some Arabian colts are born dark but go through a process called Graying. Their coat actually loses pigment over time and by 6 – 10 years of age they are far more gray than their original color.

Arabians are known as the World’s Oldest Horse Breed.

Arabians are best known for their speed, power and endurance.

Join me next week to find out more about these amazing horses.

Click on the cover to Preorder TODAY!

Who wouldn’t want to be the owner of a world-renowned Arabian horse farm? Darbi Brennan, that’s who. So, in hopes of escaping her father’s demands that she follow in his footsteps, she puts an ad on nannys dot com, a desire to leave Ireland far behind singing in her heart. And it’s not like she doesn’t have experience taking care of children…since her mother died, she’s watched over her seven brothers and sisters. She dreams of a new, exciting life in the US, and if a handsome man happens to come along, so much the better.

Then fate steps in, bringing Connie Champion into her life. Connie, also a caretaker of her brother’s triplets, is looking for a way to escape her boring life on another horse farm in Brooksville, FL—one that happens to be the primary competitor of Darbi’s father’s farm. Both women have spent too much time caring for children they love but didn’t give birth to. So, they concoct a scheme to have Darbi come to Champions Grove to care for the triplets while Connie jets off on a tour with a USO troupe. Perfect solution, right? Wrong. Darbi is left behind to deal with Connie’s overbearing, yet very handsome, brother who feels the last thing he needs is a beautiful and fiery yet nosey nanny.

Bishop Champion is a dedicated horseman who raises some of the best Arabians in the world. He travels the globe building demand for his horses and a legacy for his girls. Unfortunately, it leaves him very little time to spend with his family or pursue love. It’s been ten years since his wife’s death, leaving him with triplets he has no idea how to care for. When Darbi Brennan breezes into his life, she brings a whirlwind of change, something Bishop is totally unprepared for. Despite his resistance, she turns on a light in his soul he thought forever dead. But will her deception be the end of a beautiful romance? When Bishop discovers her true identity, will he be able to forgive Darbi for her misrepresentations, or will love so long denied the couple be lost forever?

Contract Signed on A Champion’s Heart

Very excited to announce that I just signed a contract with World Castle Publishing for the first book in the Champions Grove Series- A Champion’s Heart. WCP has helped give this series new life and more opportunity than I could achieve on my own. It is a 4 book romance series full of vibrant characters who overcome quite a few unique challenges to find love.

Its set on a horse farm in Brooksville, FL. and being a huge horse enthusiast I’ve learned so much about Arabian horses, courtesy of Rosemont Farms. Arabians are one of the most interesting breeds. Come back her over the next few weeks and learn more about them as a breed, as racers and competitors in lots of different equestrian sports.

Reconnecting to the Craft

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

I am on a new journey. One that has taken me down a path I never anticipated traveling…writing screenplays. What I have come to realize, and most of you who are writers worth your salt already know this, is studying your craft is more critical than I paid attention to. Every writer should spend a few hours a week just studying the craft of writing.

Whether you read a book, not for pleasure sake, but to truly learn from another author, take a course, read blog articles (be careful here…Ha), or take the time to study a new aspect of writing, this is a task worth your time. Write every day-about anything, or on your current WIP-but do it. AND study your craft. Research your genre, read books about it, study other authors good and bad. You can learn just as much about what NOT to do as you can about what TO do by reading the works of inexperienced authors.

While I am humbled by this truth – I should have respected learning growth more – I have now discovered it’s value. Join me, won’t you? Let’s learn more and become better writers.

But when Amy’s mother, an antiques dealer, buys Amy some old furniture, it comes with a lot more than anyone bargained for.
