: About Me

Hi,
I've been a riding instructor for twenty years. During that time, I've competed at dressage, jumping and endurance. I've bred my own horses, which is one of the proudest moments of my life.

I am also a writer and am working on a novel as we speak.
My novel is called Eesha Calling and is set in Britain just after the last ice age. Eesha is a twelve year old girl who has the ability to 'call' the herds to the hunters spear. A rival tribe discovers her powers and kidnaps her for their own use. This leads to an amazing adventure where Eesha has to struggle to survive and trek across a foreign land in search of her own tribe.
