New Release for 2025
"Without The Horses"
In "Without The Horses," you will follow Amelia Bluedorn, a woman haunted by unresolved guilt stemming from her childhood friend Louis Hoppen's abrupt disappearance.
Desperate to reclaim a sense of self and escape the shadows of her past, Amelia embarks on a transformative journey, leaving behind familiar comforts, including a cherished horse business that was once her way of life. A way of life that had started with a powerful purpose, but became vilified by entitled owners and abusive trainers that exploited the innocence of horses for the sake of greed and thier ego.
As she seeks solace in the echoes of her youthful days, Amelia confronts the stark realities of a quest that could either restore her peace or force her deeper into the abyss of tragedy.
Set against a backdrop of poignant landscapes filled with memories and heartache, this novel explores whether the path to healing lies in reliving the best moments of our lives or facing the truths that shape us.
"Without The Horses" is set to hit the shelves in the first half of 2025.
