Here’s the blurb of the latest Free Rein book:
Jacqui King is amazed to find that it is time to start high school. Without her two closest friends alongside her, she is stepping into a new chapter of her life. As Jacqui learns to settle into the new routine that high school brings, she hopes she can establish new friends, perhaps even one or two that love horses.

This year Jared has a school assignment focused on angles that requires Jacqui’s help. And the best bit? She can use her horse riding knowledge to assist him. As she does so, Jacqui goes on a journey, learning to look at things from God’s angle.

Ready to order your copy? Head along to Amazon to pre-order now.

Made by Design (Free Rein #16) Live on Amazon

August 10th, the next book in the Free Rein series was made live – yay! I just wanted to be able to share on here that the book is now available for purchase or free to read on Kindle Unlimited, like the other fifteen in this series.

This feels like the end of a season, as it’s the last book that focuses on Jacqui’s journey before High School. From book 17 onward, the focus will be on her High School years!



When I first started this series, I thought I may pen around 12 books in total. Whilst it seems the end of Jacqui’s primary/pre-teen life has be finalised in book 16 of the series, book 17 is already written and edited – stay tuned for release details in the near future! But for now, why not check out number 16?

Here’s the blurb:
Jacqui King is preparing for a new start with High School just around the corner. Whilst accepting the fact that she will be starting Year 7 without her two closest friends Geordie Smith and Hannah Johnston, the young blonde is also considering how she may share her faith with Hannah.
A recent discussion between Geordie and Hannah has opened a possible way to share about God’s design of the world. Jacqui is eager to find examples in the bible that she can share with one of her closest friends. Can she find horse examples that show Hannah how the world is made by design?
I hope to have news soon of pre-order options for Free Rein #17!

Fifty Thousand, Four Hundred and Nine

Happy August! I wanted to give a quick update from my post a week ago that discussed Camp Nano WriMo progress 🙂

On July 23rd I was a little behind schedule, but still pleased to have penned over thirty thousand words. Fast forward till July 29th and I needed to pen 4000 words over the final 2 days. Considering the last two days of July were the weekend, I was optimistic this could be achieved!

I have been able to make great writing progress over July, once again using the application know as Otter. Many of my ‘writing’ moments were in 1-3 minute blocks of talking into the application.

The app then transcribes it and I edit it as necessary. This has been such a life saver of a writing tool! Especially as I have a young baby and very little time during the day to be in front of a computer and typing.

Over Saturday I was able to catch up and get ahead with my word count. And the end result on Sunday July 31st was fifty thousand, four hundred and nine words written.

I’ll no doubt cut out some and add in others as I continue to edit the stories I was working on, but I’m pleased to have hit the goal and most especially, to have the next two Free Rein books written and edited. I finished editing Free Rein #16, Made by Design last night. Next step – covers and blurbs!

Thirty-One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Twenty Four

I am officially 22 days into Camp Nano, and I am pleased to have made a lot of writing progress. That said, I’m not on track at the moment for my 50,000 word goal. But I have written over 31,000 words. 31,724 to be exact.

And as it’s the weekend, I know I’ll be doing some catching up. My weeks are pretty busy. And I find that a lot more time to develop ideas for stories occurs over the weekend. So here’s to getting back on track towards the 50k.

Now my original plan was to work on the Chemistry of Horses – another Christian Horse Romance – over this month and finalise that novel, but it’s 22 days into the challenge and it’s only today that I’ve actually penned a couple of hundred words towards that story!

But I am pleased to say that I finished Free Rein 16, Free Rein 17 has also been finished, and edited. I’m in the middle of editing 16 And I’ve started Free Rein 18! So, so far for the month of July, it’s actually been a really productive month in the form of writing.

The writing that I’ve done wasn’t what I had originally planned or set out to do. But I’m still very happy with the results so far. So stay tuned for cover releases and details about Free Rein 16 (to be titled Made by Design) and 17 (to be titled Angles). I plan to have them on Amazon in the near future.

Each horse book author who is participating is providing a prize. One of my ebooks for the Free Rein series is on offer!
