I am a lifetime horsewoman, starting my journey on horseback in 1950 with my first horses at age 12 in Wichita Falls, Texas.
My writing credentials include regular articles and columns in local newspapers and in Riders Roundup, publication of the American Association of Sheriffs Posses and Riding Clubs.
My book DEATH SENTENCE was the Judges Award Winner in 2010 for Creative Non-Fiction at the Canis Latrans Writing Contest.
Other Canis Latrans recognitions have been given to LIFE AS ET and When Abby Met Henry, a short creative non-fiction love story, better known as WHEN HARRIET MET HARLOW.
Other awards included my first published article on Texas History in Texas History Magazine in 1955, which chronicled life experiences of my Grandmother Baker in 1800s Texas.
I am a lifelong Christian, am married with 3 step-children. My own daughter Danni Marie Laird died from diabetes at age 50 in 2007.

Fun and Witty, this is a story of achieving dreams and I loved it. Anything about horses catches my eye, and this one was a real treat.
