Author of sweet stories full of hope, heart, and happily-ever-afters.

Brittney and her family live in their own piece of heaven in the Oregon countryside. They stay busy with their menagerie of silly horses, cackling chickens, wooly sheep, and two very naughty goats. When Brittney isn’t writing, she’s riding or reading. And she wishes she could do all three at the same time.

I've wanted to write a novel since I was in high school, but didn't take the time to start my first story until I quit a job I was unhappy in. Until my break from corporate life, I felt like I didn't have the time to write a book. Now I know you just need to make time -- a half hour here ... a couple hours there. It all adds up! Plus, if you take the time daily to write (whether it is ten minutes or a few hours), you story stays in your subconscious. You think about it all the time. That's when the really good ideas come -- when you are taking a shower, walking the dog, washing dishes, etc, etc. Ideas will "pop" into your head!

P.S. - I'm back working full time in the corporate world ... and (surprise!) I still have time to write! Writing has now become a release for me.(less)

I go for a walk, go for a ride, brush my horses, or do anything that gets my mind off my writing. When I'm not "forcing" myself to come up with ideas, ideas tend to come to me. (less)

“the best things in life came when they were least expected.”
― Brittney Joy, Christmas in Silver Leaf Falls

“The clouds behind the castle darkened and rolled, embracing the mountain and the white towers. And as the princess became more animated, the clouds rolled faster and faster. They twisted and deepened in color until a deafening crack sliced through the air.”
― Brittney Joy, OverRuled

“That’s why you need to savor the moment. Eat the cake. Buy the shoes. Ride the horse.” Sandy’s”

“We've lost a lot of years, but you can't lose love. Not real love. It stays locked inside you, ready for whenever you are strong enough to find it again.”
― Martina Boone, Compulsion

“She'd missed the way he walked, the way he shoved his hands into his pockets when he was nervous, the way his dark hair fell into his mismatched eyes. The way a smile would flicker across his face before he committed to it, the way he looked at her like she was the only person in the world.”
― Kate Lattey

“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“Oh, please. Everyone in this town always says that, like you have to be born here to understand things. I understand plenty. You're only as weird as you want to be.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“Was it really that simple? Choosing a life? ...
Maybe you don't fall in love. Maybe you jump.
Maybe, just maybe, it's all a choice.
(Josh Matteson)”

Lol! Actually, there are a lot of horse books that involve a horse dying! Believe me, I've cried over many a horse-book!

If you want a no-dying-horse-book, the "Pony Club Rivals" are great! I've read the first two. Or, you could even give my book a try, Red Rock Ranch. I promise no horses die! ;)

Alise Hi, Brittney! Sadly, I have not read a lot of books about horses besides that one because I am SO terrified of any animal dying in a book, ha! Black Beauty definitely scarred the little six year old me :P


Michelle Hi! Thanks for the friend request. Hopefully you can let me know of some great new horse books to read! :)

L Dear Brittney,
Thank you so much for acepting my friendship request here on Goodreads! We seem to have so much in common, and i really look forward to future book discussions with you. Feel free to discuss horses, all things equestrian and books anytime. (I love Heartland, Ty & Amy are two of my favorite characters as well as The Da Vinci Code to name but a few books).
Kind Regards
Lucinda x
