Hi Anna I really enjoy following your blog and wanted to reach out to you as a fellow author. Do you do all your public relations, booking etc? Can you recommend a good resource to help me in promotion and making contacts for book tours? This is the area I need the most support in to get my introverted self out there to promote my book. Thanks for any insight!

You flatter me with the term "public relations", thank you. I do it all myself and it's much harder than writing, if you ask me. I get a little better all the time, but it's a challenge. I think my blog readers have been really kind and without them, this would be so much harder... so I give them the credit. So I don't have any pro resources really, but I will say that when I pull the courage together to ask for something, people are always so willing. So my advice is pretend you are braver than you are... What have you tried?? What do you write? I'd be happy to chat about ideas.(less)

Can We Talk About Our Gray Mare Future?

I’ve been pondering two conversations about horses lately. They aren’t very cheerful and I always know, no matter what I write about, I’ll end up poking someone in the eye when I don’t mean to. But people are touchy about horses, I notice.

The first conversation was several years ago, but I think of it so often. She and I were talking about horses and the future. I was traveling so much then, o
