I just finished Fallen Land and you write beautifully. I am curious of you ride or if you did research on all things horse related for the novel?
Taylor Brown
Hey Rachel! I do ride, but I'm not an expert horseman. However, I'm blessed to have a good friend Blaine Capone of Beso Toro (https://besotoro.com/) who is a professional trainer.
When we both lived in the Asheville area, I would go up to this place and help with chores like felling trees and splitting wood in return for riding lessons. After he moved to New Hampshire, I spent an intensive period in the summer up there with him -- training daily -- and he was kind enough to answer horse-related questions throughout the writing of the book.

Taylor, I greatly enjoyed Fallen Land - just finished it today, after being completely absorbed. I will be anticipating the March release of River of Kings. PS: I was reviewing your web site Events page and the dates are all 2016 Jan-Feb-March (?). Updated 2017 listings would be appreciated. Roger Dowdy, Richmond, VA
