Review:

"This is a beautifully written heroic tale that engages its readers immediately. While the realm is fantasy, the thoughts and actions of the characters are genuine. The author seamlessly blends modern day Colorado with a fantasy "After-world." The story line moves quickly so that readers maintain interest. Very appropriate for 9 years old and up. ( As a side note - This is a very comforting story for any child who has experienced the loss of an adult or a pet." Ann Goldfarb, Author "I have read all of the books in the Mist Trilogy. They were written for kids but I found myself riveted and couldn't put the books down. My imagination was stimulated and I found myself guessing what would happen to the horses and children in the book. We need more authors to write in ways that help us see the importance of being good. Thank you!" A Fan "I am 12 years and I got this book for Christmas. When I started reading it I could not put it down. I am in love with horses and this book suited me, if you are a horse lover you must read this." S. Wright "Behind the Mist is a most enjoyable reading experience, full of adventure and positive life principles our world so desperately needs to embrace. I can't wait to get started on the next one!"
