Mary Ann Powell, Author

I'm on a journey of passion.  Writing has always been a love of my life.  Now retired from my career in the public education field, I'm busier than ever, a labor of love!

I've written and published two books, Emerson and Prince Alley Em.  They're family stories for readers of any age.  You'll enjoy the stories of Loafing Hills Farm, located in the foothills of Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland, the Spencer family who lives there, and their horses!   Emerson was the first book written, and Prince Alley Em is a sequel.  You can read more about the books here, along with comments from our readers.

My third book, Shells Of My Heart, will be available soon.  It's an adult novel, not suitable for children.

A young lady and her father, on a trip to see her grandparents, stumble across a scruffy horse for sale.  She sees something indefinable in him, baffling her father.  Having promised her a horse of her very own, they hadn't yet found the right one, but Carol seems entranced with this one.

Prince Alley Em... An exciting story about the brother of Emerson at Loafing HIlls Farm.  The familiar characters from the Spencer family are all here.  If you enjoyed Emerson you'll like this story too, with a different twist.
