Wayland’s Revenge
Historical fiction with mystery, thrills and romance. English civil war, religious strife, a serial killer, real heroes , witch hunters and their victims. Characters so real and scenes so well described it was if you were watching everything unfold. Well told story with focus on real historical details and not on excess sex or gore. I look forward to reading this author’s next book. Thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for making this book available to me. By Jane Ward (source: Netgalley)

Lights! Camera! Gallop! The Story of the Horse in Film
“If you like horses, old movies and how film developed into our modern movies of today, here is a great little book for you! Easy to read, to understand and to enjoy, “Lights! Camera! Gallop!” is for you. There is so much informatin stuffed into this book of small size but large stature its amazing. The amount of research involved must have been prodigious indeed. I loved how the whole structure of the book is not just horses in the movies but the underlying reasoning behind the scenes and scenery used to create a feeling and to develop the storyline. Lesley has gotten deep into many unknowns to me, facts about the horses and the actors themselves. …” By

Because it is Written (also features Blacksmith Wayland)
“… a gripping and evocative piece, a tantalizing extension of the known historical story. It’s an area – the personal repercussions of tragedy during the witch-hunt of the mid-17th century – that a historian like me often wonders about but has no documentary sources to describe… The detail is impressive and the period atmosphere feels just about right”.

Horse and Pony Colours: Which one would you choose?
“I grew up in the farming communities of central California where horses were a part of life’s traditions… Yet, with all of that I really didn’t know half of what I learned in this book about the fascinating world of the colors (colours) on horses….. The author, Lesley Lodge, has an excellent understand of the surprising intertwining’s of colors in horses and their significance. She writes in a clean straight forward manner using details and examples from everyone’s common experiences to make the information real and relevant….” By Sandy, Amazon
