A Little Blurb about Me!

With Laura's horse Bella

Hi! I’m Sharon Biggs Waller, a freelance writer and hobby farmer in northwest Indiana.  I write young adult fiction.  My debut novel, A Mad, Wicked Folly, will be published by Viking/Penguin in winter 2014.  It’s an Edwardian-era novel about a young artist finding her own way during the time of militant suffragettes.

I also write for a whole bunch of magazines including Horse Illustrated, Hobby Farms, Urban Farm, Hobby Farm Home, Your New Horse, USDF Connection, Horse Connection, Shore, Get Healthy, The Times newspaper, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Bespoke.

I’ve written three non-fiction books:  Advanced English Riding (Bow Tie Press) and In One Arena: Top Dressage Experts Share their Knowledge through the Levels (Half Halt Press), and I’m the co-author of The Original Horse Bible (Bow Tie Press, co-author Moira C. Reeve).  I’m also a dressage trainer.  Along with my husband Mark I was one of the Civil Service Club instructors at the Royal Mews in Buckingham Palace in London.  We live on an organic farm in Northwest Indiana with a flock of chickens, four dairy goats, two horses, a beehive, and multiple dogs and cats.

      Hi Kathy, welcome to the blog! I’m not sure what to tell you about farmers in Indiana. I’ve not discovered one yet, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one out there. Have you posted on the Hobby Farms forum? That would probably be a good place to start. Second would be Craig’s List. Let me know how you get on.

    Sharon, I would like to review your Horse Bible book as a resource for a Horsemastership program in California. Is there a way to contact the publisher to secure an evaluation copy?

    Hello Sharon, How is your writing going?
    I met you out in Harper College at the SCBWI. I sent you an email about 2 months ago. It may have ended up in your spam….
