Hello Friends,
I received some good news today! My first book Whisper This… has been picked up by a publishing company for reprint! This means a lot more opportunities for exposure and hopefully being able to help more horse folks out there.. The bad news is, the current addition will be pulled from the market very soon in order to to make way for the new publisher to re release the book. I am not sure when this will happen but if you are thinking of picking one up I would suggest that you do not wait! The new one might not be out until after the first of the year. I hope you are having a great fall and we will see you around the pen!
Regards, Smokie
