The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud

Alison Bellringer

“Come on, you beast!” The man mumbled under his breath, quite unaware that he was being observed by several rather stunned onlookers. “Get over here!”
Despite his terse command, as if sensing the man’s edginess, the gelding merely laid his ears back and started shaking his head, soon lashing out with his long, delicate legs. High-pitched squeals of outrage soon followed, and at the disturbance, another person’s face suddenly peered out of the passenger window of the cab.
“You see, Daddy? That kind of behavior is exactly why we can’t keep it! I need a reliable horse that I can depend upon at all times.” The blonde-haired girl stared at the scene, almost in disdain, and then immediately continued whining again. “Hurry up, Daddy! I want to ride Secret Service again as soon as we get home. That horse is so much better behaved!”

'King' Kamehameha Goes Globetrotting

Antonina Irena Brzozowska

‘King’ Kamehameha is on a very important mission – to spend his mistress’s lottery win solely on fun and adventures, with a generous dose of good-humoured mischief thrown into the mix.

But Toni, his mistress, is on her own personal mission. She aims to harpoon herself a hubby and provide her pooch a step-daddy, whether he wants a step-daddy or not.

And so, they embark on a madcap, free-spirited, globetrotting adventure, getting into all kinds of scrapes and mayhem; even the King of England catches the scoundrel raiding his larder, a ruffled policeman is after Kamehameha’s blood and an ancient Chinese wizard is after his bits and pieces. The President of the United States of America is none too pleased with his recent dinner guest either, and, of course, the clink is always lurking on the horizon.

Do Toni and her king find the loves of their lives and more to the point, do they manage to keep them?

Sadness, humour, suspense and challenges are woven throughout the story but on top of their respective lists is the delightful goal of remaining young at heart and being as free as the wind.

Will they succeed in their endeavours?
