THE LOVES OF SNYDER COUNTY SERIES published
by Helping Hands Press
With “horse blood in her veins,” what else
could Marsha Hubler write about but stories with horses?
“From the time I knew what horses were, I loved
them,” Marsha says. “Although I collected horse models, wrote stories about
horses, colored horse pictures, and had my own Annie Oakley outfit as a child,
it wasn’t until I was married and had a place of my own that I owned horses.
The only time I was near horses as a child was when my mother took me to a
riding stable once in a while, where I always asked to ride a pony named Sugar.
As I rode, I rubbed my hands on the horse real hard, and then for the rest of
the day at home, I could smell the horse anytime I wanted (until Mother made me
wash my hands for supper!) Now an ouchy back prohibits me from riding anymore,
so I write books that have horses in them so I can ride vicariously. I have
many fond memories from which I can base my plots.”
Marsha has had eleven juvenile fiction books
published about kids and horses, including the best-selling Keystone Stables
Series by Zonderkidz. Her latest project, though, has shifted her attention
from kids’ books to the red-hot Amish/Mennonite fiction genre for ladies.
Marsha had owned horses over a twenty-year
period, therefore knows her horse facts in and out. She also lives in central
PA, “Dutch” country, highly populated by the Amish and Mennonites, who have
been a valuable first-hand resource for her series about the Amish and
Mennonite folk in the beautiful Susquehanna
Valley in central PA.
BACHELOR’S CHOICE, volume one in THE LOVES OF
SNYDER COUNTY, was released on July 1st, and TEACHER’S PET, volume
two, just came out. LOVE SONG FOR LOUELLEN will be out in September, and over
the next year, Marsha is also writing twelve short stories based on the
characters in her Amish/Mennonite books. All her latest books and short stories
have elements of romance interwoven with Christian principles and … horses, of
course! That compilation of short stories is called THE SNYDER COUNTY QUILTING
BEE.
Marsha has had a background conducive to
effective writing. She has a master’s degree in education from Bloomsburg University,
Bloomsburg, PA, and has been an educator for over forty
years. She had co-founded two private schools, Kreamer
Christian Academy,
Kreamer, PA,
and the Bethesda Prep
School, Milton,
PA, and had served as
teacher/administrator in each. She is presently a PA certified homeschool
consultant, working out of her office in her Middleburg home, where she lives
with her husband and two dogs.
Marsha is getting very favorable reviews on
Amazon for her LOVES OF SNYDER COUNTY SERIES. She also hears from her Keystone
Stables fans on a regular basis. Several said they have started to seriously
think about God, and one gal wrote that she was thinking of killing herself
until she read one of Marsha’s books.
“That’s the best pay any writer could ever
get,” Marsha says. “I write not only to entertain but also to encourage my
readers. Every one of my books has a positive outlook on life with solutions to
every problem with God’s help.”
Her life verse is 1 Corinthians 15:10a: “But
by the grace of God I am what I am….”
