Between teaching, my horses and family…writing a novel is a lot of work… but so much fun. I think I have “a ton” of ideas and experiences and I need to put them into my novel in a fun way.
I’m living my life through the two women in my book and I’m finding them very interesting. They are fun…and work hard at keeping their life together. As most horse women know, having a family and horses as well as a job, is a lot of work.
My friends who don’t own horses always ask, “How do you do it? Horses seem like soooo much work!” I reply, “when you love something…it isn’t work.”
And that’s the way I’ve always felt about horses… I love them! ~~ Sandy
His name is Kahasi and although he enjoys all of his barn friends he has a special relationship with our barn cats. He is a wonderful, gorgeous Curly and I am sure that readers will enjoy hearing all about the adventures of Sam and her friends as they enjoy their horses and work to promote the American Bashkir Curly horse breed.
| Sandra J. Howell has brought us her first novel, jam-packed with exotic horses, passionate horse people, and a bit of drama as well. It’s clear that this book was written by a knowledgeable horse person and Howell sheds light on a little known breed in a pleasant way. ” BOTTOM LINE; Entertaining story, heavy on the horses.~~Kate Tully/ Horsemen’s Yankee PedlarKate Tully – Horsemen’s Yankee Pedlar |
| I had the pleasure of reading Sandra Howell’s book, Spirit of a Rare Breed. It is a delightful book that weaves together an interesting story that is intermingled with our Curly horses. Sandra has a wonderful way of painting pictures with her words. ” ~~Janice Voss-Crosby/ International Curly Horse Organization GazetteJanice Voss-Crosby – International Curly Horse Organization |
| I’ve reviewed this book and it has all the elements I love: spirited women, breathtaking scenery, adventure and of course, a bit of romance. First time novelist, Sandra Howell, has a “rare” hit with this one and it will be a top pick for my book club. Kudos! ” ~~Cheri Cheri |
