I have been selling books written by other
people on driving horses and horse-drawn vehicles since 1980. Today I am announcing a young adult novel I wrote: Listen to Your Spirit by Kayo
Fraser.
A brief summary:
Orphaned after a plane crash in Africa, two kids from Florida,
12-year-old Kelly and her 10-year-old brother, Jake, have to find their
way out of the jungle. In the delirium resulting from her injuries,
Kelly meets her spirit guide, a black leopard, who appears when she
prays for someone, anyone, to help them. She doesn’t understand at first
what he means when he tells her ‘Listen to your spirit’.
When two white men and two natives find them, the kids are
relieved, but their excitement fades as they realize it is greed that
motivates the white men who rescue them.
Mystery enshrouds their lives in South Africa before they learn
the truth behind the misconceptions.
Simba, the black leopard, appears in several forms, helping Kelly
find her destiny as she learns to listen to her spirit.

Fall Girl, Martha Crawford Cantarini
Martha was among the busiest of Hollywood’s elite corps of female stunt
riders, being the regular stunt double for such actresses as Eleanor
Parker, Anne Baxter and Shirley MacLaine, appearing in films ranging
from Elvis Presley’s debut feature Love Me Tender to the epic
Western The Big Country. Martha also hosted a Las Vegas
television program in the 1960s, while her palomino Frosty gained fame
as "the gambling horse" after rolling a seven at the Thunderbird Casino
craps table. As the cover on the photo shows, Martha had to think quick to keep this horse from breaking its leg when the stunt went wrong. She shares her stories working and training other horses, especially Frosty, a horse she got as a foal and transformed into one of the most beautiful and talented horses in the business. She knew how to train horses to trust her and do anything she asked. Fascinating read! 225 pages. $19.99 + $8 s/h Price was reduced by the publisher. yay! |
