Well, this one has been a long time coming.
I’m constantly apologizing to The Eloquent Equine’s editor, Krista for my lack of posting recently. Part of it is purely personal – I’ve taken on a fulltime job I ...
I don't know if I've ever mentioned that I worked in a book store? Not as a kid, funnily enough. I would have loved to work at a bookstore as a kid, but it never seemed to be a place that wanted to hire me. I a...
