Biz’s Journey Home

Book 1 in the Series - Released in September 2023

Following the death of their husband and father, Logan, Carol Ainsley and her 12-year old daughter, Jill, help a horse desperately in need of someone to love him. When they do, they have no idea how much he will rescue them from their grief and help rebuild their lives. From the moment Official Business, Biz for short, wins their hearts, to the day Carol and Jill bring him home, their path is fraught with twists and turns. Biz’s homecoming would not have been possible without the efforts of some special women and one beloved man, who move mountains to make it happen. Follow them on their journey and embrace the possibility that when loved ones die, their spirits remain close. Logan built a barn so Jill could have a horse waiting in the paddock when she comes home from school. He dreamed of a horse that looks just like Biz. Does Logan bring Biz to them from the other side? As Biz reveals his life story, we learn that owning a horse is not just about winning ribbons. It takes love and kindness, the building blocks of trust, to foster the partnership that leads to the true magic of horse ownership. Biz’s Journey Home is about life and death, grief, and families. Sometimes, the best family is not the one we are born into. Now and again, it is instead the family we create from those who love and lift us

Because of Biz

Book 2 in the Series - Released in August 2024
In this sequel to Biz’s Journey Home, Jill Ainsley begins her senior year in high school trying to overcome a devastating loss that causes her to lose interest in everything. As her grades slip, Jill must confront her fear of going away to college, leaving her mother, Carol, in an empty nest. Carol hates to see her daughter suffer, but knowing that grief is a process, she allows Jill enough room to find her way, while hiding her own fear of being alone. Since the death of their father and husband, Logan, years before, they’ve been each other’s rock. Can they be apart and flourish? We never know how much an act of kindness can change our lives. Years before, Jill and Carol welcomed Biz, a horse in need, into their hearts. They are beginning to understand how much it is impacting their present as well as their future. By helping Biz, they cement bonds that are opening doors to tremendous opportunities. All the wonderful things in their lives circle back to Biz. Everything, including the future, is brighter because of Biz.
