There is nothing better then the feel of frost crunching beneath your feet as you walk to feed the animals, long hot days in the saddle behind a mob of cattle or the feel of the camp fire at night when you get back, jeans clinging to you, riding boots overflowing from the rain, the feel of horse sweat and wet leather still on your hands.....

ABOUT THE NOVELS
Together these novels are set mainly from Rathdowney to Colinton with a few trips further afield, to the Gold Coast , to Murgon to Moonie and into the north.

​Ben is the first book in the series and a slightly more steady pace to the second novel, but still packed with adventure and chapters such as... Roses and Bulls, Kick It Up and Choirs Before Fun. This is where Cora and her two young boys return to Rathdowney, she's unsure of the reception they will be met with. But at least they'll be home, back, riding the hills she grew up in. Old school at it's core, there's no sugar coating life as Cora raises her sons to be young men and from an early age, they learn to work as hard as they play. Mustering and Rodeo's with their Uncle on the weekends set them up for the life to follow, while the land builds their character. Wild cattle and wild rides, with characters to fall in love with, it's all right here.

Saddle Up - In this book Nait and Coby are fast becoming young men, working as hard as they play. From fence lines to long haul, chasing cattle to time in the chute, they meet their challenges head on. Meanwhile their mum Cora also has challenges to face. Fast paced this book is definitely not for the faint of heart with chapters such as... Diesel Dust and Dollars, Prime Suspects and Until Their Not.
