I have no explanation for my equine obsession, except perhaps that I was born under the sign of Sagittarius, the centaur-archer.I'm sure my parents got fed up of fielding questions such as, "If the postman brings me a pony can I keep it? Can it live in the back garden? Can it sleep in the shed?" And, most importantly, to my literal mind: "How will he get it through the letterbox?"These questions, and many more, lie behind this collection of chatty articles and social media posts.I do, of course, have horses in my garden. Not to mention bats in the attic.

Queen Victoria is crowned, and England is at peace, but 1838 isn't a good year to be a coachman, not even when you're good looking and ambitious. George Davenport travels to London with his bride Lucy, determined to make the most of his skill in driving a four-in-hand of horses. He finds employment with William Chaplin, the 'Napoleon of coaching', but as railways open across the country they threaten the work he loves, and the boss's daughter has designs on him that have nothing to do with his driving. Historical British fiction.If you like it please drop by and add a review. Check out my other books on Amazon Kindle, or for paperbacks please see my web site, http: //www.jackdawebooks.co.uk/
