I retired last year and many thought that I might be bored; that’s crazy. I have six horses and I compete with three of them. Matter of fact I just got back from Las Vegas from an exciting three-day event…did I win? No, but I’ll keep trying.
Now how does this tie in with the books that I write? Many of my books have something about horses in them; for example, The Black Madonna and my upcoming book, The true story of Clyde the abandoned Mini Pony (haven’t figured out a title, so if there is anyone out there that can send me a great title that we use, I’ll send you a free copy of Clyde). I also feature different local venues. Maybe I’m riding in the hills of Monterey, California. Maybe I’m in the central valley of Fresno, California, or possibly in Ireland or Scotland. I began riding horses at 49 and I started writing books at 59 and was first published at 61. The point is, I never give up, and I never stop trying. Sure, there are road blocks. but there are also Yield signs and Go signs on my journey called Life.

Linda, thanks for visiting us today at MMO. I just read the opening pages of Chilled to the Bone–very creepy and interesting! Oh, is that “Mr. Ed” you’re leading in the photo? 🙂

Wonderful post on persevering. We all need to keep it in mind as our goals depend on it. Talent helps a lot, but if a project isn’t finished what good is the talent? I love horses too and really enjoy reading about them, looking at them, looking at pedigrees, watching races etc. Horses are a terrific topic and majestic creatures. Michael says your book is “very creepy and interesting”. That sounds just up my alley! 🙂
