    Top equestrian Lexy Imbriani comes to America to keep her fading Olympic hopes alive. Hamp Gambrell, the one man who matches her passion in the saddle as well as off, finds her a position in Southern Pines, North Carolina, historic home to many upper-level horses and riders in three-day eventing, the grueling Triathlon for horses and riders. At her wit's end, she hopes to make a go of it with Bo, Hawks Nest Farm's brilliant but troubled stallion. But then come accidents, threats, and escalating violence, putting her dream at even greater risk. How to find out who's sabotaging her and Bo--boarders? staff? family? Hamp? Digging deep into that death-defying courage she honed riding dangerous cross-country courses, Lexy must protect her magnificent stallion, and herself, and stop the killer who threatens to end their competing days forever. This suspenseful Southern family saga belongs on your bookshelf along with the best of Dick Frances' mysteries, Jilly Cooper's RIDERS and JUMP, Jane Smiley's HORSE HEAVEN, and Rita Mae Brown's Sister Jane foxhunting series. Horsemen and women will revel in the author's authentically realized horses and action, and anyone who ever dreamed of horses will be fascinated by this insider look at loving and training these amazing athletes to compete fiercely and fearlessly at the highest level of Olympic three-day eventing.

    Judith Stanton's Deer Diaries celebrate fawns, does, bucks, birds, a renegade coyote, a special turtle and snail, and a glittering albino doe throughout the seasons. Luminous poems for nature lovers. One by one, day after day, these wild creatures showed up on Judith's farm, inviting her to record their daily lives. Each event in every poem happened, really. Judith was riding her beloved horse Winston when they came across the fawn in the pasture. She was driving into town to buy groceries when the albino doe leaped across the road. The three-legged doe was the bravest deer she ever observed, and felt like her friend. Deer Diaries has been for Judith what writers call a gift book. From the moment she wrote "The Three-Legged Doe," all the other poems fell into place. Deer she'd watched for decades consorted to reveal themselves at every hour of the day and night, throughout the seasons of the year. For some of the lightest quietest poems, they just showed up. The tragedies, too, stock and staple of lives lived wild. She was so privileged to have the time, place, and freedom to chronical the daily lives of the wildlife on her farm-their quirks, humor, resilience, courage. Friends who've read Deer Diaries say without fail that now when they drive our county roads, with deer liable to dart out at any moment, they drive more carefully. May you drive more carefully on your roads too. Judith published five historical romance novels and a contemporary equestrian suspense before discovering a new passion in writing about the natural world on her own farm. She also edited The Letters of Charlotte Smith, and is nominated for a Distinguished Alumna award at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
