For that reason and many others, I’m very happy that there are two more books in the series, Race the Wind, out on 4 April 2013, and Firestorm, out in April 2014.Orders are processed and dispatched Monday to Friday. With all my books, I find that my characters become friends, and I’ve never felt that more strongly than I did with this novel. Writing The One Dollar Horse was my way of living out my dream through Casey Blue. But I love horses and eventing as much as I ever did. Quite apart from the fact that I wasn’t a good enough rider, Badminton didn’t happen because our farm was sold, we had no money, and because before very long writing took over from riding as my chief passion. I used to race around the game reserve on Star, watched by our pet giraffe and the impala, dreaming of Badminton. It sprawled through the whole thing, and even incorporated a water jump. I persuaded my dad to build me a cross-country course in our 100-acre game reserve. The best thing about growing up on a farm in the middle of nowhere is that there’s tons of space and free wood, and loads of people to help you with crazy ideas. To me, Star was the greatest horse that ever lived and it was only a matter of time before we got to the Olympics. We had eight horses, including my black horse called Morning Star, the son of a champion racehorse, who had been born in a rainstorm – I was there and covered him with my raincoat. Growing up on an African farm, I used to dream about winning the Olympic gold medal for eventing like Tatum O’Neal in International Velvet. The One Dollar Horse is a wish fulfillment book for me.
