I thought people would find this interesting. Image one is a mock-up Jeanne did for one of the illustrations for my book, "Robin: The Lovable Morgan Horse." The next image is the final version that appeared in the book. And then, of course, the book cover.

Amazon has put my Quarter Horse Coloring Book on sale for HALF price! I can't sell them that low, and I don't know how Amazon can, but if you'd like a cool coloring book, now's your chance. It's similar to my Morgan Coloring Book, with real photos converted into coloring book images. It keeps selling out so if you order and it says "out of stock," don't wait, just order. More have been shipped to them and if you wait, you may not get the half-price sale.

We’ve taken photographs of dozens of beautiful Quarter Horses and converted each one into an original coloring book drawing. With lots of whimsical elements added to each picture, it will be hard to decide which one to do first! From reining to jumping, and from playing in a river to prancing at ....

Horse Show: A Donkey-Donk Story received a surprise review today.

"The one thing I love about children’s books is authors always emphasize a particular message. Donkey-Donk wants to prove that practice makes perfect. The story is simple and sends this message throughout the book. The photographs are adorable. Who wouldn’t fall in love with Donkey-Donk’s face? I know I did! This book is recommended for ages 2 and up."

Reviewed by Nancy Eaton Donkey-Donk is a miniature donkey. She is going to a horse show and has big dreams of possibly winning a blue ribbon. Donkey-Donk knew there would be many obstacles. She had to practice. She might be required to jump, open a gate, and walk around cones. Before the show, she g...

Sale! I'm planning on doing a reprint of The Quarter Horse Coloring Book and need to move several hundred copies of my existing stock quickly so I've marked them down 50%. Just $4.95/copy! This coloring book is just like my Morgan version, 64 pages of horse photos converted into coloring book images. This is a fantastic opportunity to stock up on coloring books for 4-H clubs, horse show gifts, etc. If you'd like to buy a large quantity, I'd love to discuss getting you a quantity discount. You can order on Amazon (I've dropped the price but it hasn't gone through yet - may take a day or two), or via the publisher.
