Welcome to our web site!  I enjoyed writing these two books, family stories for readers of any age.  You'll enjoy these 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.

The First Book in the series

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.

Even though her father has misgivings, the horse is purchased.  Soon thereafter, he arrives at Loafing Hills Farm.

The Second Book, a sequel to Emerson

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.

Combined Training, polo, horse rescue farms, and other interesting subjects are included.  An unusual ending will leave you with a good feeling.
