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.
"Showdown at the Strand" to be published
Tall Tale TV is going to publish my "Showdown on the Strand" as a podcast in mid-November. Per their website, "Tall Tale TV ranked in the final five for its category in the Parsec Awards, a prestigious award given only to the best story podcasts."
Axe versus whale rib. Sword versus blubber. 'Showdown at the Strand' is a retelling of one of the Icelandic sagas using American Western motifs. I wrote this story in honor of the heritage of my Icelandic horse Blessi. I planned to re-enact hunting stranded (dead) whales in Iceland by horseback around 1020 AD. But something happened so I wrote this story instead.
