Thank you to all of the authors who have given me the gift of their time. It makes my spurs jingle when authors unite.

New podcast = Even more equine author features!
I have some FUN news. I have decided to expand my Equestrian Author Spotlight monthly blog posts to a weekly podcast/YouTube video format because the Equestrian Author Spotlight series has gotten so much interest that I’m now backed up to over a year’s waiting list. I want to be able to share author interviews faster, and I know I can do that better through the new podcast/video format for the series.
My spurs are jingling to introduce the Equestrian Author Spotlight Podcast! A weekly podcast featuring interviews with equine authors who love all things horses and writing about them. In each episode, you’ll hear inspirational stories from horse book authors including writing advice and marketing tips to help you write your own horse book. If you are an author, aspire to be an author, or simply love horse books, then you are in the right place! I'm your host Carly Kade.
In the first podcast episode, you'll meet ME. You'll learn ...

A big thank you to all the authors who have participated in my Equestrian Author Spotlight series so far. I can't wait to share the new podcast format with you. I have some amazing author interview's lined up.
Write horse books, too? I'll spotlight you!
I am overflowing with gratitude for all the passionate people who have come on this journey with me from readers to those who have left my book a review to fellow equestrian authors who have been so supportive to other entrepreneurs I’ve met along the way. When dreamers band together and support each other anything is possible. You can’t do it on your own. So, in order to give back (or pay it forward), I’m hosting this Equestrian Author Spotlight podcast!
I LOVE HORSE BOOKS. If you are an author who writes about horses and would like to be spotlighted let me know. I’d be happy to include you too. Sharing about fellow horse book authors makes my spurs jingle! Visit my contact page to fill out a request.
