about this book: I have long believed the story chooses the writer, not the other way around. The story of The Centaur's Promise tapped me on the shoulder one day as I finished a ride on my horse, a retired race horse well into his second or third career. I was a day when we'd finished our last exercise in preparation for a dressage test and we were both beautifully in sinc. I was aglow in the feeling of our connection and then I heard it.. "I will steal the hearts of your women..."

Was I crazy, or just perhaps possessed? I didn't know. Only that idea wouldn't leave me alone and grew to include the vision of Chiron, an ancient centaur, on a hill rising his fist to the sky and promising to steal the hearts of mankinds' best women.

And so I started to write. The Centaur's Promise is a book about mans relationship to horses. It is also driven by my need to inform those who don't know what happening to these beautiful creatures. How threatened they are and little time we have to save them.
