I’m so excited to share the first reviews for Ambition with you!
When I read a review, I’m really finding out, at last, if I’ve accomplished what I wanted to with my story. Ambition, in particular, is a story that went through many, many incarnations as I tried to take it from a story that resonated with me, to a story that would resonate with many equestrians around the world. And that’s not always an easy thing to judge on your own, or even with the small sample size of a few beta readers.
But so far, it looks as though I may have accomplished my goal.
Here is a clip from Horse Junkies United:
Starting the novel on Thursday evening, I was finished it by Friday at noon- I couldn’t put it down! Her writing style is easy to read, and the pages flow effortlessly. Most of all though, I was thrilled with all of the horsey details that were not only abundant, but accurate! This is were you could tell that the author had experience in the sport that she was portraying, lending this to her storyline and characters, making them come realistically to life.
And here is a clip from a review at Amazon.com:
What makes it a great read is the details riders will relate to. Every page is chock full of the nitty-gritty of horses.
As I wrote Ambition, just as with my other equestrian novels, I wanted to be sure my readers understood I was writing for them. These aren’t books That Also Have Horses in Them. I’m not throwing in a few horses to placate the horsey folks in the crowd.
These are horse-books for horse-people.
Thanks so much for the reviews, and please keep them coming! You can find your own copy of Ambition at:
Paperback at Amazon and Barnes & Noble (Coming Soon)
