Heart Horse is a moving anthology that weaves together twenty deeply personal stories about the bond between humans and horses from all walks of life who have found meaning, recovery, or transformation through their connection with these gentle, powerful beings. Why was this an important book for you to write?

Although I am not a typical “horse person,” horses had been attempting to get my attention over the past few years. These “pings” came in a variety of ways. For example, in 2021, my husband and I purchased a piece of land in the Virginia mountains that, unbeknownst to us, happened to be in the middle of horse country, with horse trails running up and down the mountain. This automatically opened up our social network to these beautiful animals and their people. In our metaphysical practice, we found ourselves working with a plethora of clients seeking to connect more deeply with their horses. It was during those conversations—between the equine and their human—that we realized these majestic beings held an abundance of wisdom for humanity. I knew that their stories needed to be told.

Do you have a favorite story in the book, and if so, why does it hold special meaning for you?

Each story is meaningful in its own right, and it would be impossible to select a favorite. What I will say, however, is that I didn’t expect to be brought to tears over and over again, as I worked with the stories during the editing process. Even during a second or third pass, I found myself tearing up. Our authors wrote with such heartfelt authenticity that their words convey not only a literal account but an energetic message, as well. So, while the reader’s mind processes the words, the soul resonates with the deeper wisdom.

What was the biggest challenge you faced in putting together this collection?

The biggest challenge for an anthology editor, in my experience, is working with multiple authors—specifically, compiling a wide range of writing styles and voices into a cohesive project. As with any collaborative effort, the diversity of participants is its strength. But at the same time, it requires an editor to navigate with sensitivity, respect, and aplomb.

What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be published?

I currently have three books in the works: an investigative project about Mars, another that presents a unique perspective on angels, and a third that will dive into a new approach to Astrology. In each of these, I am taking off my editor’s hat and co-authoring the books with three other subject-matter experts. Palm and Lotus Publishing, the company I founded with my husband, Will, is the publisher for each of these exciting new projects! Look for the first to debut in mid-2026.
