This is a great story. It if full of action and violence. I learned some things about the nature of stallions that I didn't know before. The white horse in the picture is beautiful. Congratulation for having had this story published. I can understand why.

    Oh Beth! Thank you!! Well, this story wasn't the one, it was the first one about the character Cal..."The Horseman", I don't remember if you reviewed it or not. But some man in Montana contacted me and then put it in his new publication up there! It was neat! I was paid by an ad for my art. I sure am happy you liked this. Your opinion means a great deal to me. ") I hope you are having a great weekend too Beth. We are finally getting some rain, not heavy, but at least SOME! Whew. ") HUG!!! Susan

That is a great story as a stand alone or in a book. What is the publication you have mentioned in the authors notes. This is the first I have read of yours like this. It is great. Anne 1204

    Hi Anne! Thanks! It's in my portfolio, called "The Horseman" it was put in a thing called "GreatFallsLittleWords", it's not online yet, I wish I could show you, the man sent me a copy of it. I was so surprised, he paid me with a free ad for my art in it. Tom had warned me it could be a scam, but it was legitimate! I was so happy. Also, "The Lonesome Pines Of Mt. Teewinot" are connected to this. I hope you like them too? They are about as long as this. Thank you for taking time for me Anne, I really do appreciate it. I hope you are having a nice weekend!

Boy you were up early to post. I hope you plan on extending this. I can see a much longer story.

"The Horseman" and "The Lonesome Pines Of Mt. Teewinot", but thank you for this time for me Barb!! I really appreciate it! I would love to live in Wyoming, but for the winter..."/ ") Smiles! Susan

This is a very strong piece of writing; it is very non passive and is written with varied vocabulary and good use of imagery and description

Susan, you have a gift for writing about the land and your beloved horses. This story is eloquent and captivating. I believe this is my introduction to your Cal and Tanka tales. When I get a chance, I will look up the others. Good tale. (You might want to re-read---a few spag issues.) Peace, Lee

    Not to worry, Susan. Spag doesn't concern me, but it means something to others. You have told me about the latest Cousin's outing yet. Peace, Lee

    Dear Mary~ Thank you for being the first to read this for me! I'm truly thrilled that you like this, I do need to say, I live in the midwest, the state of Indiana, but my heart is always elsewhere. I love the western states, especially Montana and Wyoming. I love Tennessee too. But I am stuck in this hateful place, and writing is the only way I can be "free". I think I was a horse in a past life, lol. Thanks again for being such a great fan!! xox...Susan
