If you love animals, this is the place to visit–where authors and writers can share stories (both poignant and fun) about their pets. You’ll also find periodic additions there to “The Old Horse Trader Tales”–true stories about the adventures (and misadventures!) of a horse trader during the 1930′s -1980′s. I wrote them as feature articles for a magazine about fifteen years ago, and look forward to sharing all of the nostalgic stories about this charming old man. I’ll also occasionally be featuring some cool new releases by my favorite authors on this blog, too…so take a look!When you finish there, wander on over to www.shoutlife.com/roxannerustand where I have a variety of other blogs running, and some fun contests now and then.
