    Gallop to the finish with Dream Horse Mystery #3

    Vi's kept a job for nearly one year and is sure she's going ride off into the sunset with her trust fund, but ghost horse Wastrel has plans that put everything she's worked for in jeopardy...

    Viola Parker knows old wounds can fester. What she doesn't know is how deeply they can cut or to what lengths people will go to recover. When she returns to her roots to solve her mentor's murder, nothing and no one is what they seem and no amount of whipped cream makes sense of it.

    She should be able to trust her friends, her family, herself. She should know where she belongs, where home is. But with Malcolm and everyone she loves acting strangely, and everyone she hates even stranger, trust becomes elusive. Wastrel becomes her only confidant.

    Has she been on the wrong lead all along? If Vi doesn't figure out Wastrel's clues in time, what she doesn't know could kill her.

    Vi's in for a bumpy ride in this riveting and poignant wrap-up to the Dream Horse Mysteries.

      *** 2020 SOVAS Nominee for Mystery Audio Book Narration--7th Annual Voice Arts Awards *** Jump in the saddle for a laugh-out-loud-funny gallop into the first Dream Horse Mystery I'm Viola Parker, known on the circuit as one of the best show-jumper riders around. Some say I have a bit of an attitude, but they don't understand what it takes to deal with certain horse owners. That's why I'm worried about my current situation. I have a surprise trust fund waiting if I can keep a job for one year before I hit 30. Do you know how much crap I'll have to endure to make that happen? It boggles the mind. Still, I know I can do it with the help of my new rules: Don't smart off. Don't drink. Don't sleep with the boss. The last of which proves to be a real challenge when I meet the man who just hired me. He's working the surfer good looks, a super-hero jaw, and wearing a kilt, for cryin' out loud! Right when I think the new job is going to be my typical disaster, I find a dead body on the farm. I didn't sign up for that, but the spirit of my favorite horse begins visiting my dreams, trotting me closer and closer to the killer's identity. That horse, along with his cryptic clues, is impossible to ignore. Not even the stress-reducing lusciousness of my whipped-cream-in-a-can addiction is going to help me keep my job, let alone get me through this mystery alive. Candace Carrabus expertly threads the needle between romance and suspense in the first Dream Horse Mystery, On the Buckle. Set on a Midwest horse farm, get ready to meet amateur sleuth Vi Parker who finds herself caught in a thrilling mystery!

      Mount up and hang on for a fun ride into the second Dream Horse Mystery!  Keeping a job for one year shouldn't be this hard. But I'm giving it all I've got. I've sworn off whipped cream and managed to keep my attitude in check... mostly. Just when I'm beginning to think the mysterious trust fund created by my mother and father might be attainable, the unthinkable happens.  My long estranged parents...come for a visit.  They land on the doorstep with empty suitcases, a few sad-looking tomato plants, and a grandfather I never knew existed. As reunions go, this one's off to a rough start. Fearing Malcolm—my insanely hot boss—will toss all of us out on our ears, I do my best to keep grandpa out of the gun safe and my parents from stomping on my last nerve.  Both of which are losing battles.  Unfortunately, those are the least of my problems. Grandpa’s being stalked by the Eye Thief, someone who’ll stop at nothing to execute his long-awaited revenge. If my dream horse were real, I could hop on and make a run for it instead of barely surviving a scorching summer of tomatoes, tango, and terror. Candace Carrabus delivers the perfect blend of wit, suspense, and romance in the second Dream Horse Mystery, Run Out. Set on a Midwest horse farm with reluctant amateur sleuth, Vi Parker, providing laugh-out-loud funny moments amidst the thrilling twists and turns of her latest adventure!

    I have written stories and ridden horses--frequently simultaneously--for as long as I can remember. I grew up on Long Island and spent my formative years in the saddle--just imagining.Not surprisingly, my stories are usually infused with the mystery and spirituality horses have brought to my life.My philosophy, in brief :: (No, not in briefs, but that's a nice image, thank you very much.)We are all immigrants in spirit, with our minds, hearts, and souls being the final frontier.Yep, that's it.I've discovered this is what happens to all my main characters--whether by choice or accident or design--they go somewhere else.They immigrate.At first, this change is external--physical. Over time, their journeys lead to a place of discovery and growth that is within each individual alone.
