    About this ebook

    After a successful career as Illustrious Ruckus, three-time winner of the British Open, James Kirby has hung up his saddle. His experience as a horse in the eventing world doesn’t exactly translate to two legs, and he’s struggling to move on. James’s quiet days at the family farm with his sister, Matilda, are interrupted by Archie Ievins, a sports journalist visiting to interview Matilda and snap a few photos of Illustrious Ruckus. Archie quickly endears himself to the family and to “Ruckus,” and James falls head over hooves—only to be brought up short when his ex-boyfriend threatens to expose James’s secret. How can James start something new when he has four legs threatening to come out of the closet?

    A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2016 Daily Dose package "A Walk on the Wild Side".

      ‘Pastures New’ is one of the most unique shifter stories I have read – and not just because it is about a horse shifter. That alone made me want to read this story, because I love horses and horse shifters are rare. But to discover the extra-special twist of having a shifter with two different names and careers for each form, one of them quite famous, was a great surprise. I admit to being a little confused at first, but it’s actually pretty straightforward.

      Illustrious Ruckus (what a name!) is James’s horse incarnation and a three-time winner of the British Open. He had to retire because horses can only credibly win races up to a certain number of years. James is the “human behind the horse”, so to speak, and he is so used to being a racehorse that he has great difficulty adjusting to “retirement”. Imagine – he doesn’t just have to get used to not working the same “job” he’s had for many years, he also has to get used to being in his human form most of the time. I can only try to imagine how traumatic that would be!

      As if that doesn't stress enough, James also has to face a nasty ex who thinks he knows something and is attempting to blackmail James, his sister’s nagging about “getting a life” and moving out, and Archie, a curious sports reporter who is writing an article about retired riders and their horses. Add the attraction James feels for Archie, a few dates, and you’ve got an explosive mix. The result is a beautiful story, told by James with a snarky, self-deprecating humor I really liked, and an ending I didn’t see coming.

      If you like horses and horse shifters, if you want to find out more about what it might feel like to be a retired racehorse – in human form, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read that is as funny as it is unexpected, then you will probably enjoy this hilarious novella.
