Model Horse Links |
I post my model horses for sale on the Model Horse Sales Pages. My gallery of model horses can be found at The Model Horse Gallery. I purchase my Breyers at local stores, but when I can't find something or need a Stone Model, I turn to H & H. To keep up with the latest chatter on Yahoo Groups, I am a member of Haynet. For sales lists, I go to Haynet Exchange. I enjoy the work of Idaho model horse artists Lynn Fraley and Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig. The Treasure Valley Model Horse Club is a fun group of adults, families, and young people. Join for $10 individual/year. For information on live shows in your area, check out North American Model Horse Shows Association. I enjoy the Realistic Equine Sculptors Society publications. |

Writing Links |
My books, Let's Go to the Model Horse Show and Creating Pastel Champions,are published by lulu.com. Also download copies of my MFA thesis on Graphic Design Education and free coloring pages at no cost. When my writing needs polishing or I just need a second opinion, I turn to Rosanne Catalano, a freelance copyeditor and writier. I am a member of the Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators and Romance Writers of America. Miriam Hees, of Blooming Tree Press, came to Idaho to talk about publishing children's books in 2006. Ellen Hopkins, an amazing writer who deals with the hardest subjects, visited in 2007.I have lots of favorite authors, but I heard Graham Salisbury speak at a conference and have been a fan ever since. I didn't think I'd like novels written in verse. But Sonya Sones proved me wrong. Her books won my heart. Chris Crutcher is an author who gets you thinking, makes you laugh and makes you cry. He was raised in Idaho. If you haven't read much of his work, I'd suggest King of the Mild Frontier on CD because it is read by the author. Athletic Shorts is a great collection of short stories, perfect for guys. Rachel Cohn got me reading young adult fiction long after I grew up. Kevin Brooks writes books that I can't put down.They are ofen published by Push, an imprint of Scholastic. |
Mentoring |
I am proud to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, an organization that helps at-risk children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one friendships. My Little is fun, creative, and full of life. I encourage others, especially adults without children of their own and empty-nesters, to experience the wonder that a young person can bring to your life. |
