Writerly, full of equestrian knowledge and rich in character - not least of the horse - this is also a tale of first love, and is a handsome package with deep pink-edged pages. Lauren St John's The One Dollar Horse is rare among pony books in setting its dream-come-true story in inner-city London. The author has a flowing style and an art for bringing her characters to life. There are many twists and turns but the plot is easy to follow and gripping, I would recommend this book for girls aged from twelve through to adult. ![]() The One Dollar Horse is certain to be huge favourite with readers and will bear comparison with classic horse stories by authors such as Patricia Leitch and K M Peyton. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Catcher tells Annah he was sent to find her by Elias.

"Through the years, we have allowed tailgating to take place on school board property, and probably the biggest rule is no alcohol, and I have walked through these tailgates, year in and year out, and there is alcohol consumption going on," Atkins said.

When she read a romance novel, she became not only hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. When she received her BA degree in psychology from the University of Texas, she had no idea she had gained a foundation that would help her to create believable characters-characters that are often described as “real people.” She began her career writing training manuals and computer code for the IRS, but something was always missing. Her "dual" nationality has given her a love for all things British and Texan, and she enjoys weaving both heritages through her stories. ![]() Lorraine was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, but soon after moved to Texas. She is the daughter of a British beauty (her mom won second place in a beauty contest sponsored by Max Factor® during which she received a kiss from Caesar Romero, (the Joker on the original Batman TV series) and a Texan who was stationed at Bovingdon while serving in the air force. No doubt because growing up, watching movies with her mom, she was taught that the best movies "won't half make you cry." ![]() ![]() ![]() Lorraine Heath has always had a soft spot for emotional love stories. Also writes Young Adult under Rachel Hawthorne, Jade Parker, and with her son as J.A. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The recurring theme in all her projects, Dunn explains, is writing - and she always knew she wanted to be writer. "So I have this weird thing where people will be like, 'I'm so scared to change direction,' and I'm like, 'I change every six months!'" "I moved from journalism being my primary thing, to working in television, to being on camera, to acting," she says. The secret of her prolific output is simple, she says: "It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be done." Dunn says she aims to finish whatever she takes on, and at the same time is careful not to "be precious" about any one idea. "And I still work like an insane person," she says. Dunn has sold four pilots to date - to YouTube Red, Fox, MTV and FX - and currently works for Netflix's "Big Mouth." Dunn is also a YouTube personality who runs a lively channel with Raskin called "Just Between Us," and a working actress who played a recurring character on the Starz show "Take My Wife. Her YA novel, "I Hate Everyone But You," co-written with comedy partner Allison Raskin and published in 2017, made The New York Times bestseller list. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is Wiebe’s ninth novel and his third to concentrate on his Mennonite family and heritage. Sweeter Than All the World demonstrates all these strengths and weaknesses. ![]() While his great strength lies in meticulous research, passion for his subjects, and a powerful narrative sweep, his weaknesses include a leaden moral earnestness, an inability to create believable characters or dialogue, and a streak of sentimentality that undermines whatever serious fictional goal he might set himself. He has a considerable reputation abroad, particularly in Germany, perhaps because of his concentration on native Canadian stories and his German-speaking Mennonite background.īut when critics look carefully at Wiebe’s writing, as opposed to his subject matter, the adjectives that crop up repeatedly are “difficult” and “challenging.” There is little to love in the pages of a Rudy Wiebe novel. He was a founder of the Writers’ Union of Canada. He has won two Governor General’s Awards (for The Temptations of Big Bear in 1973 and A Discovery of Strangers in 1994). Rudy Wiebe’s status as an important Canadian fiction writer is, to put it politely, puzzling. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the Fantastic Four will fall!
