- Short biography
- Angela Dorsey is mainly a writer of juvenile fiction novels, though she occasionally dabbles in other genres as well. Her first book, Freedom (aka A Horse Called Freedom) was first published in 2001 by Stabenfeldt of Norway, and after that, by Scholastic Canada. With two sequels, Freedom still has a faithful following. Since that first publication, she has written more than 20 juvenile fiction books that have been published in eleven countries and translated into nine languages. The Time Thief (2011) and Abandoned are the only stand alone novels, with the rest being either in the Freedom trilogy, the Horse Guardian series, or more recently, the Whinnies on the Wind series. In addition, she has one juvenile non-fiction book published, co-authored with Marina Miller, and numerous pieces in literary journals and anthologies, such as creekstones, Room, On Spec, and Ascent Aspirations. She is also in the process of writing her first screenplay based on her book, Freedom, with co-writer Marina Miller. When she isn’t writing, daydreaming, gardening, hiking, or travelling, Angela enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She feels very lucky to be both a mom and a grandma, and especially enjoys living near all her kids, kids-in-law, and her beautiful grandchildren.

Ugh. Poorly written - too much tell instead of show. Anvilicious moral, problems entirely caused by teenager's conviction that if no one knows it didn't happen, stupid 'villain' (a psychopathic cougar), and way too much sugar (at one point the cougar is driven off by - eww, ugh - goodness and love invading his blackness). Not to mention the horses crying, or the number of times she sees 'love' or 'forgiveness' in a horse's eyes - sigh. Soppy. There might be an interesting idea in there but show more it's buried in sugar. I don't think I'd have enjoyed it even as a horse-mad pre-teen, but maybe it would have been more tolerable then. show less
Winter of the Crystal Dances: A Wilderness Horse Adventure (Whinnies on the Wind Book 1) by Angela Dorsey
Thirteen year old Evy has been able to connect with horses from birth and can talk to her horse. But she has had a bad experience where she tried talking to a wild mustang and it startled so badly that it was injured. Now she is leery of reaching out to them. When one of the mustangs is attacked she must figure out a way to help it. Good story for horse loving youth.
