I wrote Apples for the Wild Stallion after Joey’s mother, Sonja Bingen, while starting to read the first book in the Harry Potter series while we were visiting one day, looked at me and said, wistfully, I’ve been trying to find books that has a character Joey can relate to, but I’ve only been able to find one. After getting home to Sturgeon Bay, I sat down and started writing this novel. After all, Joey loves horses, and here he is with the novel.
Sonja tells me that she is going to start reading it with him after she finished teaching in early June. She ordered the book from amazon, though, not willing to wait for the copies I’ve got coming in from All Things That Matter Press, and here is the photo she sent of Joey with his copy of the book written for him.

What a wonderful Granddad you are! Yay for Joey and the rest of us!
Thanks so much Linda. All Things That Matter Press is excited about this book. It’s located in NM where we used to live in Continental Divide.
How wonderful, Tom! Thanks for sharing the photo with us. I can imagine that he’ll love it!
I hope he does, Betty. All Things That Matter Press is excited about the novel.
wonderful and sweet
Thanks Paula. I’ll get you a review for your new book shortly.
