I write immersive adventure stories told through the eyes of animal protagonists. My debut novel, "Ember's Gallop," follows a brave wild mustang as she leads her herd through a raging wildfire. Authentic animal perspectives make my work unique. aryder.com

A Drone sweeps the slope as Storm leads, muscles rippling, with Willow close behind as Ember's chestnut coat flashes at her side. Dark bodies surge uphill, foals keeping pace, wild & free. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

2 colts circle in Utah dust, beneath sun-warmed coats. One rears, hooves slicing air, as the other dances sideways while the herd grazes calmly, enjoying these young ones practicing their games. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Muzzle buried in wet grass, a chestnut mare grazes while Icelands mountains loom behind her. Each mouthful tastes of rain & stone as her breath steams in the cool air, happily in this quiet field. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Sun slips low, dust rising in gold ribbons behind pounding hooves. From above: a river of mustangs, fierce and unbroken, races towards the distant sun, far into the horizon. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

A spotted coat flashes through the summer grass, each pattern loud against the gold. The field becomes a canvas, each stride painting a new burst of color and motion, wild and unmistakable. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

As he pauses, his muzzle is deep in the green hush. Each blade snaps between his teeth, cool and sharp. A leaf, brittle & stubborn, clings to his mane, a trophy from a roll through the brush. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

As the clouds press low, the herd grazes in scattered knots, manes heavy with drizzle, coats dulled by the weight of a Monday sky. Grass is damp, the air thick, and there is no urgency in sight. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Wind off the cliff lifts wild manes. Hooves press the moss at the cliff's edge as the river glints far below. The duo clusters, holding the old north silent and sure, wild as the stone and sky. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Ears pinned, an alert mare grazes in the high mountain pasture, surveying through cool grass flecked with wild flowers. Then, with the distant sound of hooves on stone, her focus shifts over. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

The sun presses warm against her coat. Grass breathes green beneath her hooves, wind tugs her mane in slow-motion ribbons. Every muscle hums with the promise of movement, but for now, stillness. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

As she turns her head with slow, storm-born elegance, she catches the sunlight in each ripple of muscle. For a heartbeat, even the blue sky seems to pause, awed by her fierce, untamed grace. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Drone shadow glides over green. Storm's tail snaps, Willow arcs ahead, Spark's legs tangle in wild grass. From above, green blurs beneath pounding hooves, unbroken, rivering through summer light. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

From above, the herd threads single file along the knife's edge. Ears swivel, muzzles dip, grazing brittle grass between stones. The drone's shadow glides over backs, as the herd moves steadily. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

As a drone hums above, the herd moves in a single file. Hooves clattering on sun-warmed planks. Storm's tail lashes, Ember leads steadily, Spark's legs tangle, but this wild mass moves across. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Ember approached the bridge with visible hesitation, ears flicking nervously. With the herd waiting behind her, she tested each plank carefully. Step by cautious step, she led them across safely. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

A stallion faces a choice: follow the herd to familiar grazing grounds or venture out to investigate the strange light on the horizon. Which path holds more promise? #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Ember's voice emerged when I stopped writing a horse and started listening to one. The land knows its own stories. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

A drone's shadow has the potential to send foals scrambling. Ember remains still, teaching through example that not all things descend from the sky. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

Guardians: What wilderness skill would you want to learn and understand to gain an animal's perspective? Ember's story asks what we lose when we stop listening to the land. #BookSky #AuthorsofBluesky #WritingCommunity #EcoFiction #WildlifeConservation #horsebooks #AnimalPOV

I'm seriously looking into hiring a vocal artist for an audiobook of Ember's Gallop. If you are (or know somebody who does vocal work) with a warm, melodic soprano with youthful energy & gentle confidence, who can capture both grace & untamed spirit, goto Twine here: www.twine.net/projects/b8p...
