Description
What a glorious tale to write. I confess, I had a dream that got crazier and crazier night after night. It all started after a lunch with friends when the two women at the table beside us got into a fight over whose stallion was more virile. I couldn't make their conversation up if I tried so it is in the book.The paint stallion, Patch, and the Saint Bernard, Bulldozer, are based on my two old friends. May we meet again somewhere over the rainbow.Enjoy. Laura was the first woman hired on a Helitack Firefighting crew in northern Alberta and draws on some of her experiences as a firefighter inside the pages of Independence . "When an outhouse became a luxury item, I knew it was time to leave forestry," chuckles Hesse. "Now I am inspired by tales of every-day people and animals who wind up in extraordinary circumstances... and comedy. I love a good laugh with my murder & mayhem and am addicted to cozy mysteries. Okay, horse stories are right at the top of my list too."While her horses have all passed over the rainbow, they appear in several of her stories.Laura currently lives on Vancouver Island with two old cats and a rescue dog. When she's not writing, you'll find her kayaking or singing at a local jam. Life deserves to be lived. Inspiration can come from the strangest of places.
