In Greek mythology, Pegasus was the horse of the Muses. Why can't a horse be a muse for a modern writer? My passion is writing about history, horses, and humor often featuring my Icelandic horse Blessi. My non-fiction articles have been published in multiple magazines and several countries. I am writing a book titled Rough Riding Through the White House: The Adventures of the Pony Algonquin and the Roosevelt Children. Meanwhile, here are my thoughts on writing.
