Short, sweet, snappy chapters – a fun challenge for a writer like me! And while my new novel Sea Horse Ranch still has the lushly-realized settings you love, I’m lingering a little less on the view and writing more about how it all makes us feel. I’m really excited to bring the first book in… Continue reading I’ve Got New Romance on Kindle Vella
I thought it would be really fun to make notes on every book I read in 2021. It’s easier than writing book reviews individually, which I almost never find time to do – I can jot down something quick for the book’s Amazon page, but to write a full blog post?

The Blue Plate Diner is a venerable country cookin’… Continue reading Recipes from Snowfall at Catoctin Creek

I did a… Continue reading New Interview for EQUUS Film & Arts Fest

Riding instructors, barn managers, grooms, your barn BFF, that hard-working student who eats, breathes, and sleeps horses: I’ve got the perfect book for all of them. For the rest of… Continue reading Perfect Horse-Lover’s Gifts: Autographed Books with Free Shipping!
For me, writing horse books is rooted in authenticity. (This is the 2nd post in the series, So You Want To Write A Horse Book. Read the first post here.) This can get tiresome for a writer, when you’re trying to follow a plot thread and find that it leads to a dead end, or… Continue reading Authentic Settings – So You Want To Write A Horse Book: Part 2
Updated March 17, 2019 by Natalie Keller Reinert I’ve been writing horse books for the past eight years. It started out as a wish: I wish there were more horse books I wanted to read! It turned into a project: I’m going to write a book I’d like to read. It ended up as a career: in 2019,… Continue reading So You Want to Write a Horse Book: Part One
