hey there ya'll! Merry almost Christmas!
Soooo yeah, I've been real busy lately with baking for the holidayz, babysitting, Christmas shopping and of course WRITING! I'm currently working three books and thought I'd just give you the introductions to look over!
The Almost Perfect Forever
Paige Riley is a sixteen year-old junior and has the perfect life. She has two
amazing Christian parents, an older brother and sister, and an adopted little sister.
She goes to the BEST church in all of Minnesota, where all her close friends
attend too.
She has her own horse, a hunt, tobiano paint named Leo, the cutest horse in all the
stable. And, she’s one of the best riders in the state.
Nothing could get better for this smart, athletic, pretty teenager. She has what so many of her friends call, the perfect life.
BUT, it’s all about to come crashing down around her. Some news, that some would
consider the opportunity of a life time, hits hard on this small town girl. Will she ever be able to adjust to this change?
The Dancing Hearts
Marissa Riley is a seventeen year-old senior at Dalesworth High in southern California. But, this surfer/dancer chick is taken by surprise when a transfer student named Todd Harrison shows up in her dance class and she is partnered with him. Will sparks fly between the two students? Or will someone’s heart become broken?
Ella
Ella Matthews has only dreams of ever attending college. But, her stable hand salary will never get her there.
Tyler Burk, a super star rider only wants a break from his over busy schedule. But… when he comes to Lakewood for Winter break, he just might find more than he’d even considered.
Ella, a “horsey” twist on the classic Cinderella tail…
Well, I gotta go, but have a merry CHRISTmas!

2. Have you ever been in a Christmas Play? Yuppers
3.What is your favorite thing you get in you stocking? Jewelery

5. What is your favorite Christmas beverage? A vanilla latte with whip cream and peppermint shavings on top
6. What do you put on your tree top? An angel most of the time, a few years we had a star,
7. Where do you get your tree? I don't remember. It's not real and we've had it for a long time...
8. Do you go somewhere for Christmas or do you host? Most of the time we go to someone Else's house.
9. Do you have any traditions? We always put up our tree on my daddy's birthday, Dec. 9th
10. How much do you like Christmas? LOTS!! It's my favorite holiday!
11. What do you do on Christmas Eve? go to a service, either at our church or my grandparents and open family gifts.

20. Last one. What is the best thing about Christmas to you? The fact that our savior was born on that day, it's very surreal.

12-13-09:Ella...A horsey twist
hey ya'll!
I thought today I'd just share with you a short clip of my latest book Ella, so... here is the introduction, the clip and cover pic!
Introduction:
Ella Matthews has only dreams of ever attending college. But, her stable hand salary will never get her there.
Tyler Burk, a super star rider only wants a break from his over busy schedule. But… when he comes to Lakewood for Winter break, he just might find more than he’d even considered.
Ella, a “horsey” twist on the classic Cinderella tail…
♥
“Hey boy, ready for a ride?” Ella snuck into Hugo’s stall. The large, majestic grey Andalusian shook his head up and down. He obviously wasn’t as tired as she, it being almost midnight.
Ella tacked up Hugo and took him into the indoor arena. The barn was completely quiet and empty. Everyone had left more than two hours ago… but she’d only just got done with chores.
“Okay boy, trot.” Ella sent the horse into a smooth, controlled working trot.
The twosome were a perfect match. Every command Ella gave, Hugo instantly obeyed. And in return, Ella always snuck him extra sugar cubes and carrots through out the day.
Ella was one of the best riders there was. Skilled like a pro. But know one would, and ever could know. Her step sister made sure of that.
“Good boy, canter.” Hugo’s steady canter was perfect as always. As the two flew around the arena, a smile grew across Ella’s face. Her favorite time of night was riding time. One of the many things she loved about working at the stable was all the many horses. And it wasn’t until three years ago until she realized that when the barn was completely empty, it was a perfect time for a ride.
Finally, Ella cooled down the large horse and took him back to his stall. She gave him a good groom and then left him with a handful of carrots. Making sure his tack was clean and nothing looked used, she placed them back where they’d come from.
Hailey, Hugo’s owner was always traveling with her parents. Ella and her were sort of friends, but more in a I-let-you-ride-my-baby-when-I’m-gone kind of friendship.
Finally, she turned off the lights and left the stable. She climbed into her used pick-up truck and headed home for the night.
♥
“Tyler, come on… you’ve got to go to that interview with RidingSport Magazine.”
“I know Rick, I know… I’m going.” Tyler picked up his sweatshirt and put on his boots as he headed out the door. Not the way he wanted to spend his Saturday. More interviews.
“I’m sorry dude, but what can I do?”
“I know Rick, it’s not your fault. I’ve just got to stop excepting this interviews.”
“What you need is a break.” Rick climbed into the passenger seat and waited for Tyler to slide into the drivers seat.
“What did you say?”
“That you need a break?” Tyler gave a sigh and then laughed.
“You’re right. Why didn’t I think of that?”
“I don’t know dude, I just thought you didn’t really want one.”
“No… I do. I need one or else I’ll go wacko. Rick, tomorrow you and I leave on the first plane out of here for an entire month.”
“Where are we goin?” Tyler only smiled… he had the perfect place in mind.

12-9-09:Snow day and daddy's b-day!
!!!!!!
Normally, I don't post twice a day... but today I had too!
It snowed like crazy last night. And, since we live out in the country, it's really, really windy out. So, we have snow everywhere.
I'm home schooled, so it doesn't affect me sadly, I still have to do all my school work, but my brothers who go to a private school don't have school. Lucky ducks. (Jk, I don't mind school that much)
And... it would also by my daddy's birthday! :D HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!
And, as tradition, me and my brothers set up our Christmas tree this morning. (Yes, it's fake... my mom and I are allergic to pine. :( ) For the last four years now we've set up the Christmas tree on my daddy's birthday before he gets home from work. Normally we get the lights and ornaments on too, but this year all our lights don't work, so we have to wait and do that part when he gets home and fixes them. :D
Well, that's all... I'm going to go break out my skis! Have a great day!!
