2015 Beloved Horses Book Tour!

From May 5 to May 17, we'll be on the road for my 2015 Beloved Horses Book Tour!

Below are the cities we'll be stopping at; contact me for an author visit/signing/writing workshop at your local school, library, tack shop, stable or equine club! There is never a fee, and I personally sign them to you or as a gift to a family member or friend. While on tour, I sell all my 10 books at a discounted rates - only $12 each. And Visa/Master Card are accepted.

Besides the five books in the Beloved Horses series, there are two Beginner Reader dog books (Woogie's Travels) and three middle grade/teen mystery novels. See my site for description: http://sharonminer.com/

If unable to meet me during the tour, most of my books are available at Tollbooth Saddlery on Rt 206 in Mount Holly, NJ and Chick's Saddlery on Rt 13 in Harrington, DE. I'll be in that area during the second week of May so if they don't have the copy you want, I can stop by!

To Catch a Horse Thief is released as an e-book!

My second book in the Masonville Mystery Series is now available as an e-book!

To Catch a Horse Thief includes all the teenage boy characters from the first novel: Luke, Shaq, Tony and Jason. Octavia, Shaq's cousin (and the boy's high school teacher), and her father, Detective Gordon Vintara are also included.

Amy, from California, spends the summer with her cousin Luke in the Pennsylvania mountains. While bike riding in the nearby park with Luke's three friends, they discover two draft horses and a pony being kept secretly in a temporary pasture on park land. When shotgun blasts are heard, they quickly head home.

Later they find out that the horses were stolen, as well as four others from a local stable. But there's more than stolen horses involved - the owner of the stable is dead and a young boy was attacked during the theft. The teens assist their high school teacher, Ocatvia, and her father in solving the case.

This exciting equine adventure is suitable for middle grade readers through adults.

To Catch a Horse Thief is now available for $2.99 for your Kindle. Prime members can borrow this book and read it on their devices with Kindle Owners Lending Library.

Wonderful Visits in CT& DE!

After maybe 15 years, we were finally able to visit with Lee of Lee's Riding Stable and Windfield Morgan Farm in Litchfield, CT. That's where it all began for me - my horse career that is! I worked for Lee when she lived in Wilton and then moved with her to Litchfield. Farewell was foaled there in 1976 and I bought him as a four month old colt, taking him to Langhorne, PA where we first started our Unicorn Stable in the haunted house! The spirits liked us because we had animals :)

Scout enjoyed playing with her two dogs!

It was wonderful to see all the horses, especially the Morgan Horses! Her stallion is the palomino (center) on the bottom.

On the way south toward warmer Florida, we stopped at Chicks' Saddlery in Harrington, DE - they carry a large selection of my books, and all are signed. Lots of tack, clothes and gifts there, too. So, if you are in that area, stop by! Then we had lunch with good friends, Dennis and Diane, at the casino across the street.

Toll Booth Saddlery has Holiday Gifts for Everyone!

If you need holiday gifts for the equestrian in your life, or the future horse lover, visit Toll Booth Saddlery in Mt. Holly, NJ. They have baby/children clothes and toys (including Breyer horses), jewelery, stationary, riding clothes, tack and lots more. Also, they carry my books including my Beloved Horses series, Woogie's Travels and The Delmarva Conspiracy. And they are already signed!
