Shannon's new foal, Chance is so fuzzy he looks like a goat! Chincoteague Pony foals grow the longest hair their first winter off the island. They don't know the conditions won't be as harsh. Mother Nature is helping them prepare for the worse. He is cute, though, like a big stuffed toy.
Gideon, the foal donated to the feather fund (www.featherfund.org) has been awarded to the nicest kid. Kasey wrote an essay to the Feather Fund telling them how much she loved ponies. She'd been volunteering for a horse rescue program for a few years and borrowing a pony for 4-H shows, so she had horse experience, and was already "paying it forward". She met her foal at the Westminster Holiday parade and led him down Main Street. I think they will both have many happy adventures together!
I will be writing on a new fantasy pony series soon and can't wait to tell you more about it. I am not sure HarperCollins is ready to announce the series yet, but six writers will be writing the books and it will be fun to write and fun for readers, too!
Currently, I am working on a ghost book that takes place on Kent Narrows Island in Maryland. I am enjoying quiet time writing on my new laptop in the living room while watching my grandson play.
I hope the winter weather that is keeping you inside is encouraging you to read lots of great books and write lots of great stories!
