Four-Legged Love
This has been a great year, with Fool Me Once, Book 1 in The Riverwood Series, released in August by The Wild Rose Press. Seeing it offered for sale on Amazon was a special and memorable day. Book 2, A Bitter Wind Blows, is a stand-alone sequel. It’s under contract and in the process of edits.
Riverwood is a planned equestrian community, co-developed by Horse Country Real Estate agents, Ronnie Chandler, Ricky Ahlers and Andee Barton. It’s underwritten by The Westlake Group, venture capitalists from Virginia. Yes, it’s a Romance so a relationship soon develops between Ronnie and Luc Deschaines.
But the Riverwood series was never intended to be just a love story. It’s set in the fictional town of Emery Pond, in Tennessee, and the characters ride in the very real Big South Fork National Park, acclaimed as “the trail-riding capital of the southeast” (for good reason). Book 3, Signs of Life, and Book 4, Ride A Pale Horse, have been submitted to the publisher. These are horse books for readers who love to read about horses!
Reviewers have said “the author’s love of horses shines through in every chapter of every book” and “the author obviously knows her way around a barn.” The stories are filled with the miracles and minutiae of horse ownership because the main characters all have horses…and the horses all have personalities. (Horse people most often have other animals and readers will enjoy meeting the characters’ quirky cats and dogs as well).

The company of my animals sustains me all year but never more so than at Christmas time when I especially appreciate the gift of their unconditional four-legged love.
Ronnie’s past is still a secret, held close and shared with only her colleagues at Horse Country Real Estate, Erica Ahlers and Andrea Barton. And with Mindy-Morrison-Myers, Ronnie’s nearest neighbor, best friend, riding buddy and confidante. No one else had yet learned who her ex-husband was. She had moved halfway across the country, had planned never to see him again, finding a job in a profession where he’d never in a million years think of looking for her.
Ready for a bigger challenge than selling small cabins, the three realtors attract The Westlake Group, venture capitalists from Virginia, to underwrite the creation of Riverwood, a planned equestrian community.
But now Senator Evan Parker is in Tennessee on a fact-finding trip. When his path unexpectedly crosses Ronnie’s, he demands a second chance, but Ronnie is fast falling in love with Luc Deschaines, one of her new investment partners.
Evan has Ronnie, all of them, over a proverbial barrel; infuriating as it might be, they grudgingly admire his cunning. Ronnie has no choice but to capitulate, but not at first and not easily.

How long have Luc and Jax lived with you? They sound like wonderful animals.
I’ve had Luc for 10 years and Jax for 2 years. Luc was three when I got him and he had never been on trails; he knew nothing! It took two people to hold him so I could get on, simply because no one had ever asked him to stand at a mounting block and he didn’t have a clue. He has a sweet disposition and is eager to please so it was very rewarding to teach him how to cross a stream or step over a log. Jax has exquisite manners but was abused by someone who was later indicted for animal cruelty so he was very wary and distrustful when I got him. It has been a delight to peel away his fears and anxieties one at a time. I think he’s as happy now as a horse could be.
I wish I could have horses but I am allergic. I love the story
Me too. I’m allergic to cats as well but I have a pile of them, including two Siamese who sleep on my pillow like a “cat hat.” I just put up with the red, itch eyes.
I had horses growing up (loved them). Also, goats, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs … lol. I’m a big fan of animals!! Thanks for your post.
Me, too. I had goats, chickens, ducks, cats dogs, horses….and sheep….at one time or another.
This story sounds fantastic. I think horses are beautiful animals but they are so large, they scare me a little. Thanks for the chance.
You’re smart to be wary of horses; they are flight animals and their instinct is to flee from danger. They have no concept of hurting you in the process so you always have to keep that in mind.
I like the sound of the story, and the author seems to have a fascinating background.
Thanks. I grew up in the suburbs in Connecticut and longed for a horse, but that was not possible. I sure made up for it as an adult, though. I had a horse even when I was in the Air Force.
