Pace Publications has released a new collection entitled Men & Horses . . . and the Women Who Love Them. The stories were written by women writers and riders and edited by Loren Spiotta-DiMare of Tewksbury, New Jersey. The theme for the book was inspired by a couple who trailer their horses to the stable where Spiotta-DiMare boards her Quarter Horse. “It was wonderful to watch this husband and wife having fun with their horses together,” she says. “It started me thinking about other women lucky enough to have men in their lives who share their equine passion.” Thus the idea for Men & Horses was born. The men in the stories are not only husbands and boyfriends, but dads, grandfathers, sons, brothers and even trainers – any fellow who has a relationship to a woman and her horse(s). The stories are heartwarming and diverse: the couple who meet on a riding vacation and later marry; the woman whose favorite uncle brought her to the racetrack each summer as a child; the female jockey supported by two male mentors; the founder of an Equine Rescue who was introduced to horses by her grandfather and many more. To order a copy of Men & Horses send a check for $15.00 (includes sh) to Loren’s Reading Room, PO Box 301, Califon, NJ 07830 or to use PayPal visit www.LorensReadingRoom.com Baltimore police officer Fia McKee is put on leave for excessive use of force after interfering in a crime that turns deadly. Given a second chance, she is sent to work undercover for the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau (TRPB) at the Gulfstream Park in Florida, where she works as an exercise rider. Her assignment is to watch and report back on two racetrack workers who have been suspected of illegal activities and whose horses continue to outperform all expectations, winning their owners unseemly amounts of money in the races. To complete her cover story, Fia moves in with her semi-estranged brother, Patrick, who lives near the racetrack. Her investigations are complicated when her niece, Jilly, disappears after a shadow gang takes Jilly’s beloved horse. Now Fia must work two angles—first to find out what’s really going on with the men who might or might not be gaming the system, and second to bring the men who prey on horses to justice. Along the way, Fia encounters Cuban gangs living off the grid, a (very handsome) do-gooder who’s close on their trail, and a cabal of super wealthy gamblers who will stop at nothing to ensure they always win.
