I’ve been on a learning curve this week in regard to my electronic products. I joined an online 5 day challenge by Jess Winnett. I’ve been learning a lot! The thing that drew me to her challenge was her Kingdom/faith approach and I thought, yeah, it’s time to do a challenge that’s from a Christian perspective.

It’s been great! It’s also helped me to apply small changes that are already resulting in improved exposure and income.

My children planted some radish seeds with me, 5 days ago. I looked up online and saw they germinate pretty quickly – within 5 days. So my children and I anticipated seeing little green shoots today. Five of them turned up yesterday! It was exciting for them to see the result of what they planted earlier this week. I am finding the same thing occurring as I action things today that help me to build my exposure in the days to come – it’s exciting! What can you be doing/planting today that will have an ongoing/eternal impact?

Now I love to write horse books, and horse educational resources, and much more. But even more than that, I love it when people read one of my books and learn about horses and draw closer to God. So I am working now to apply what I’ve learned over the past 5 days. If you know of someone who would enjoy a horse book that also explores the Christian faith, I encourage you to share ChristineMeunierAuthor with them! I write:

– horse books for 8-12 year olds
– horse books for young adults
– Christian horse romances for adults

So currently I’m focusing on how to better promote my books, but next month is CampNano and I’ll be working on Free Rein #13 and the Chemistry of Horses, another Christian Horse Romance. As always, stay tuned!

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared some horse book news on here! CampNano is on in April and as happens this time of year, an email is sent out to NanoWriMo authors to remind them to announce their project for CampNano. This April I plan to work on The Chemistry of Horses.

This story idea was actually birthed last CampNano! And I had planned to finish it this month in March, but I am not going to push myself to do so. This is in line with my declaration that in 2021 I am going to do less. I’ve had a productive January and February, just not necessarily in the form of books for myself to publish. (The published books I have had recently have been bundles – not new books). So I’ll set the goal of progressing The Chemistry of Horses next month and see how it goes :).

Christian Horse Romance Box Set 1

Last month I released my first Christian Horse Romance bundle! Now this genre of books is my passion – a good horse story, romance and the Christian faith intermixed. And once I finish The Chemistry of Horses, I’ll be in a position to release the second box set – yay!

Keen to check out this bundle that comprises of B and B and E and E? Head along to Amazon to take a look – all my books are on Kindle Unlimited so you can read for free if you utilise KU 🙂

So that’s my latest horse book news. Stay tuned for updates in April 🙂

2020 has been an eventful, exhausting year. I’m the kind of person who loves to set goals and works hard to achieve them by the self-imposed deadline. And this year has followed that pattern. But there have been plenty of other variables to navigate.
I am blessed to work in education, teaching about my favourite subject: horses. So with Coronavirus this year, our family was so very thankful to not lose income. An added blessing is that my husband stays home full time whilst I work part time. Suddenly 2020 was looking a little different:

1. still working 4 days a week
2. spending my lunch time and after hours to guide our daughter through her first year of school
3. trying to complete my work duties around pre-school aged children who feel that mum at home must mean it’s time to play with her!



I’ve met my Goodreads goal for 2020 – the most books I’ve read in a year, and that’s no doubt thanks to the 1000 books before 5 challenge I have taken on for our 2 year old and our daughter learning to read in school and having to read many books with/to her parents. It’s easy to try to read a little more the following year – I’ve done that for previous Goodreads challenges. But why? Why not instead make the effort to read books I have – at home – and on Kindle before I go seeking others? I’m going to slow down with my reading in 2021.

This year I wrote and published 10 books in 12 months. I’m rapt! But next year I’m going to continue enjoy writing and publishing but not push myself to release a new book a month. In 2021 I’m going to do less but enjoy more at a slower pace. What is 2021 going to look like for you?

November marks National Novel Writing Month, or nanowrimo. I love taking part in this event each year! What’s even better is that there’s a Camp Nano in April and July of each year (the July one is always that little bit more appealing as you have one extra day to hit your writing goal for the month!). I love that there are three opportunities each year to work toward a great writing goal. And I am looking forward to knocking over a writing goal – or two – this November!

I’ve recently finished book 11 in the Free Rein series, to be titled Context. I plan to release it at the end of this month once the editing and cover are finalised. But for now, I am planning for nanowrimo.

I have lots of novels in progress at the moment. And so I am thinking that for this November, instead of focusing on one of these, I am going to aim to further four of them by 10,000 words each. The question simply is, which four? (Yes, I have got that many started).

So my plan for next month is to focus on the following novels:

• E and E (the follow on from B and B) – close to 22,000 words are penned currently
• View from Above (my most recently started novel) – 5,000 words have been penned so far
• The Chemistry of Horses – just over 8,000 words are written of this novel
• Free Rein #12 – nothing is penned for this one, but having just finished #11 and knowing the next one will focus on Christmas, it feels timely to pen this one before December!

I would hope that from NaNoWriMo E and E might be finished and/or Free Rein #12. Stay tuned! Details to come before the end of the month about Context (Free Rein #11).



This month’s release I am pleased to say is the tenth book in the Free Rein series! Selah is now available on Amazon.

Published books this year include:

• 1. Selah (Free Rein #10)
  2. Refuge
  3. Thoroughbred Breeders Books 7-9
  4. Free Rein Books 7-9
  5. Settlement (Thoroughbred Breeders #9)
  6. Chairo (Free Rein #9)





The Horse Missionary has been progressing well and I am working on this whilst also adding scenes and various ideas to the newest novel that I aim to call The View from Above.

So this year has been an interesting one!  Although CampNano in July was really successful in terms of writing for the month, my laptop died and I couldn’t access my newly finished novel – Selah – yikes!
