Riding Through It

There's an expression that horse trainers use whenever a client's ride becomes difficult - "Keep riding through it." I've heard it at least a hundred times while riding my horse. It's a function of good horsemanship. If you give up or get off in the midst of difficulties, you might win the battle that day but lose the war in the long run. Learning to be really good at something takes persistence and time. Such it is with life; so it is with writing.

A New Adventure

9/22/2020

I wanted to share my latest adventure with you. It's called Penn Scripter.

What is it? Penn Scripter is the nom de plume for the writing team of S.N. and Carol McKibben. This mother-daughter combo writes unexpected paranormal romance. Separately, they each have a healthy list of novels.

The two authors have combined their talents and interests to produce unexpected paranormal romance that will include fantasy, mythology, paranormal, dogs and horses, relationships, unusual circumstances, and, of course, romance.

Current projects include a fantasy novel entitled, Triad, and a contemporary paranormal romance, The Transformation of Charlie.

Here is an excerpt from Triad - The Demon of Reginhart, our current work in progress:

His inferno steed, Selkie, drove onward while Marcus brooded over his situation. Just another cog in the wheel of a king. Even a demon could learn something about manipulation from Valder.

Marcus slowed Selkie to a stop at a fork in the road. He squinted at a weathered wooden sign for direction. The trees here grew in an uncultivated manner. Winter rested upon the trees, weighing down limbs with snow. Knotted branches reached out, pointing accusations at Marcus. The crisp air settled in, chilling his bones from the exhaustive pursuit to his new place of rest.

Steam rose from under Selkie’s dancing hooves. Snow gave way to patches of dry ground the size of hoof prints. Marcus’s steed gnashed his teeth, grunting his annoyance, heaving breaths, sending fog into the air. Selkie’s pace shortened a three day’s distance in half. Still, the inferno steed pranced in anxious patience, willing to run longer, faster, more.

Marcus folded his clawed fingers against his palm and stroked Selkie with his knuckles. Valder commanded an immediate departure and that compulsion pushed him to exceed Selkie’s limits.

“Walk the rest of the way.” After his manic ride to Reginhart, Selkie deserved an easier pace.


​And, here's a video clip to give you a bit more detail!
