Princess Ellie is crazy about horses! And she's fed up with being a princess! 

She hates frilly pink dresses and boring waving lessons. 

She'd much rather be riding one of her four gorgeous ponies, or even mucking out the royal stables. 

But someone is spying on her - a mysterious stranger who doesn't want to be seen. 

Then disaster strikes, and Ellie's sure the girl in the woods must be to blame. 

Can she solve the mystery and rescue her beloved Sundance before it's too late?

I'm the author of more than forty books, including my successful Pony-Mad Princess series. 

I write for adults as well as children. 

Many of my books have been translated into other languages. 

My Amy Wild - Animal Talker series is popular in Japan, and the Japanese editions look fantastic.

I've always been pony-mad so it's not surprising that my favorite animals feature in many of my books. 

I even used my research for "There Must Be Horses" as an excuse to buy the horse I had always dreamed of owning. 

He's a Haflinger so he's a palomino who gets fat really easily.

I've recently started writing books to help other writers. 

"Plots and Plotting: how to create stories that work" has just been published, and I'm currently working on a sequel called "Scenes and Sentences". 

I'm also in the process of writing two more Amy Wild books so I'm very busy at the moment.
