"Some shiny books are cristilising right here" my granddaughter's art for pumping up enthusiasm for my booksigning! #books #authors #reading #bookstore #Grandma #PhantomStallion
The ones left behind: #Breyerfest has been on my wish list for a long time & this year I'll be there! I'll also have free #PhantomSTallion postcards & horse stamps so you can include your stay-at-home friends in the excitement #horses
Correction: I am signing books at the #WesternStatesHorseExpo this weekend, but I won't be where I said I'd be! Read confession below #horses #books #Horsebooks #California #SummerReading #PhantomStallion #librarians #educators #horsegirl
BLM says they train Judas horses to lead wild kin into the pen, but I've seen the waiting bucket of sweet grain. In DARK SUNSHINE the Judas horse is no villain. She wants the comfort of other horses. She's starving. Damaged. She's rescued by Sam Forster #PhantomStallion #Reading #SummerReading
The real #PhantomStallion charges #photojournalist Melissa Farlow. This image introduced me to Melissa. After capture, before castration by Bureau of Land Management, Phantom and lead mare Shy found sanctuary on 5,000 fenced acres in #California #HorseBooks #HandsOff #wildhorses #horses #blueponies
GOLDEN GHOST #mysteries: Will Jen's discovery of a lone palomino keep her parents together? Can the strange behavior of #wildhorses tell Sam why the ghost town of Nugget has so many coffins stacked in the old ice house? Pre-order the newest #PhantomStallion book to kick off #summerReading #horses
Are you a detective at heart? This is one of my favorite pieces of reader art for the #PhantomStallion series. I've lost track of the young artist & I'd love to learn what she's doing now! #Librarians, #Digital Sleuths, Horse #Artists, can you help? #horses #readers #MG
You are what you write? My first horse story was published when I was a hs soph & Mustang mascot #PhantomStallion #books #kidlit @simonkids.bsky.social #mascot #highschool #horses @kidlitchat.bsky.social #AuthorFashion
What a thrill! Above the fold excitement for my #PhantomStallion booksigning at Turn the Page bookstore in #RedBluff #California ! #readers April 5 11-1 #books #Indiebookstores #horses @simonkids.bsky.social
What happens when a wild lead mare loses her band ? @simonkidsuk.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social #wildhorses #booksky #PhantomStallion
I am beyond grateful @simonkids.bsky.social asked @louisemeijerastrom.bsky.social to create the covers for my #PhantomStallion books because she understands (as she says below) everything is better with #horses !
I saw her capture, found her penned with stallions. Not up for adoption, she was available for "unrestricted sale." I paid, called her Ghost Dancer since she roamed the lands of Wovoka who taught spiritual dances of rebirth. She is my muse @simonkids.bsky.social #wildhorses #PhantomStallion #Paiute
Wild beauty coming over the ridgetop: she's known by humans as Guinevere and she is indeed a queen of the sagebrush seas #PhantomStallion country JTHumphry image #wildhorses #horses #publiclands
Before I was out of my jammies: I read emails from a conservation scientist & the mother of an eight year old that my #PhantomStallion series changes lives & I'm feeling happy #AuthoringChange #wildhorses #skybrarians #educators @simonkids.bsky.social #skybooks #NSTA
Galloping your way very soon: wow. It's December #PhantomStallion in your classroom
This "table-ing" thing: I don't know how to do it. Book stands & heavy lifting? Still. Love books, horses, talking to readers, offering pocket ponies to kids & commiserating w #blue strangers. New appreciation for indie #bookstore signings too! #Albuquerque #skywriter #PhantomStallion #horses
My readers: this is why I do what I do #Empathy #PhantomStallion #wildhorses #horses
I'm delighted S&S editors consult me re cover horses & connect me w artists. The original #PhantomStallion publisher kept authors/artists apart for fear of prima-donas. I get that, but the new covers depict real #wildhorses (I sent the artist photos) & re imagined content of new #books #SimonKids
This morning in Albuquerque: waiting for my red chile tofu breakfast burrito, I felt a jolt of happiness despite the GOP & their ilk. Tomorrow I'll be amid books, films & horses. If you're in the neigh-borhood, please come say "Hi" #wildhorses #books #MG #Albuquerque #horses #PhantomStallion #smile
