I’m very pleased to announce my newest book, Coming Back, will be available from Orca Book Publishers (and most everywhere books are sold) on August 27, 2019. https://www.orcabook.com/Coming-Back-P4343.aspx
This short novel is a shift for me from middle grade and YA, to adult fiction. Here’s the description from the publisher: Julie survived a horrific car accident, but she has no memory of the event or the boyfriend who was with her in the car. He disappeared, and she is diagnosed with PTSD. Her doctor recommends a therapy animal, and Julie chooses to get a horse. Julie’s experience with horses is limited, but it’s empowering to finally be involved in life again, and her symptoms abate. However, she has a lot to learn, and when the riding coach gives confusing lessons, Julie is thrown off balance, both emotionally and in the saddle. The improvement she’d begun to experience with PTSD symptoms is lost, and her nightmares return. Can Julie and the horse recover and heal their broken spirits?
Early reviews have been very positive. CM Magazine said: “A must-read novel, challenges its readers to look not only outward without judgement but also inward.” The full review can be found here: https://www.cmreviews.ca/node/817
