Guest Post ~*~ Horse Charmer By Angelia Almos

We are super excited to have Angelia Almos with us today! Everyone give her a big warm welcome :)
She has decided to share the top ten things that inspire her with us! Let's see what she has to say....

1. Heavy rain falling on a roof. I love listening to the rain fall.
2. A misty morning. Magic always happens within the mist. At least that is what my over active imagination likes to think.
3. The smell of a horse. Relaxes and puts me in a happy place.
4. A really good movie in the movie theater. My muse always responds to the really good movies.
5. Watching a race horse work. Nothing like that barely restrained power and the sound of the breathing and hoof falls.
6. Reading a good book.
7. Watching favorite movies that I love for a particular item: dialogue, characters, location, pacing, etc.
8. Music. Pop love ballads and celtic music are my favorite to write or edit to.
9. Early morning or late at night when all is quiet. The voices can now be heard more clearly. :-)
10. My kids.

Angelia thank you so very much for sharing! We love hearing about what inspires others!
Now for our wonderful readers, check out the two year anniversary of Angelia's story Horse Charmer (currently on sale for 99 pennies!!!)

Blurb ~*~

A gifted princess. A special horse. A quest for the truth.

At sixteen years old, Cassia would rather spend her days in the royal stables than in the royal court. But as the eldest child of King Robet and Queen Sarahann she obediently performs her duties as the Princess of Karah.

Her safe world changes forever when her father is murdered in the neighboring kingdom of Vespera. Cassia grapples with his loss as her mother prepares her for her new role as queen. Her first task - she must travel to Vespera to marry a prince she barely knows to fulfill the treaty her father signed just before his death.

Nothing is as simple as it seems with political intrigues and unusual powers shadowing Cassia on her search to find out who killed her father and why.

Author Info ~*~
Angelia Almos' love affair with horses began when she was five years old and talked her parents into her first riding lesson. Horses have always been a huge part of her life. The initial idea behind Horse Charmer came to her when she was fourteen. The image of a teenage girl riding her horse through a meadow appeared. Who was this girl? Where was she going? What was she running from? Those questions led to the creation of Horse Charmer.
