The Tale of a Bear & Pony

 The Tale of a Bear & Pony written by Rebecca Black

As an author of 50+ etiquette books, I was ready for a change and wanted to focus on writing fiction and advice articles.  One day, my daughter challenged me to write a story based on my youngest granddaughter’s nicknames: Sherbear and Simony-Pony. 

I embraced this enjoyable challenge wholeheartedly as I imagined all my five grandchildren as forest creatures and a Park Ranger.  Now, you can read about these wonderful creatures and share their adventure too!

Protect the Wildlife of Yellowstone!

Book Trailer

"Good friends are like gold, but sometimes difficult to find.  Nevertheless, when a mustang foal is lost and cut off from her family, an unlikely hero steps in to help and instantly befriends her. 

This heartwarming story is about Sherbear, a young bear, who finds a frightened mustang foal named Simony-Pony. Ranchers chased Simony-Pony and her family and now she is lost. Sherbear, her friends, and Simony-Pony play and explore as they search Yellowstone for the mustangs. Not all goes well, though, when humans are in the mix.   

It is a beautiful story that ends well with lessons learned.  Each chapter includes “Factoids” about the area and the animals that inhabit it.  The end of the book includes an environmental “Call to Action”.  I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Excerpt of War in Atlantis

Sapphire and The Atlantians: War in Atlantis Chapter 17 What follows is an exceptionally dark excerpt from book two in the Sapphire and The Atlantians Series of Novels: War in Atlantis. This scene is extremely dark, so please stop reading if it is too violent for you.  The darkness is necessary to foreshadow a few elements at the end of this book and the beginning of the next.  Backstory First, a little backstory.  Atlantians have gifts: empathy (more than simple telepathy), telekinesis, seeing (future and past), and healing.  Sapphire is surprisingly gifted (you'll have to read the books to learn more about her gifts).  Arion, an extremely gifted empath, can alter thoughts and memories.  Moreover, he can alter a person's reality.  In a nutshell, he is evil—deliciously evil.
