Exploring my Day Job: The story behind Horsfall

A number of years ago I wrote a story about the background of one of my books, and I thought it would be fun to dust it off and use it as the first in a “the story behind…” series here on my website. Hope you guys like the glimpse at how my mind works LOL!

So what does this all have to do with sexy horse shapeshifters and the delectable man caught between them, you ask? Continue reading
