​Adrift on a Sea of Grief -- With a Quart of Ice Cream and a Fifth of Gin   Adrift on a Sea of Grief (With a Quart of Ice Cream and a Fifth of Gin) is an irreverent cruise through the stormy seas of grief. Grief shatters. Grief keel hauls. Grief is not dew-drop tears glistening on your cheek as you wander the beach clutching his sweater. It’s waves of irritating questions, troops of well-meaning friends who know better than you -- what you should do. Grief is waves of adulty-type legal actions glaring for attention. Grief’s a bitch.  Available on Amazon.

A swelling number of horse riders aren't nubile nymphs and don't start riding as toddlers. Horse Sluts - The Saga of Two Women on the Trail of Their Yeehaw winks at mid-life riders who relate to the feeling "when memories of who we were and what we used to do smash at our egos like bugs on a windshield." 

Available on Amazon

War Horses book review -- 3/7/2018
"Their tips for new riders will make even the most seasoned horsewoman burst out laughing.  They coin clever phrases that will cause a reader to wish she had thought of them, make profound observations about what they’ve learned along the way, and share touching and sometimes somber anecdotes." 

​"My Aunt lives in a assisted nursing home. Of course she is the 'youngest' there :) So I sent her your book 'Horse Sluts' , and she got the biggest thrill by carrying the book around for all to see. She just giggled and giggled." SBH January 2018

"My girlfriends Up North in Michigan took your book with them camping, read out loud around camp fire at night! Drinking wine and reading "Horse Sluts" out loud! They laughed so hard they were crying!"CBLove  Sept. 8, 2017

"Hysterical, thoughtful and touching. As a rider for 40+ years, these two ladies hit the nail on the head with the all emotions involved when learning to ride and loving horses. Candace and Penny can ride our horses any time. What a gift of storytelling. A must read for anyone wanting to keep challenging themselves in life. Bravo ladies! Ordering more as gifts for my riding buddies!"  May 17, 2017 -
