I'm continuing snippets from the draft of my current 'work in progress' a fantasy novel 'The Matchmaker's Mare' which takes place in Wales. The story is told from three p.o.vs. and two time-lines. Today's excerpt is again in Glyn's P.O.V.
(This is only a rough draft to give the gist of the novel, and is subject to change and edits!)
Don't forget to visit the other authors at the link below, there's something for all tastes.
SNIPPET
Glyn leaned over the fence as the chestnut mare snorted, leapt stiff-legged high in the air, then exploded in a series of bone-shattering leaps and bucks with a violence that would have done justice to a rodeo bronc. All at once she ceased her furious bucking, and stood absolutely still, eyes white-rimmed and wild, body trembling. Dai managed to leap clear in the moment before the pony collapsed and lay down on her back in the muddy field, then got up and shook the dirt off himself like a wet dog.
“Don’t worry, I’m not goin’ to,” he muttered, slapping at the mud on his jeans, with a few more choice words. As he walked across the field, he stopped and looked toward the gate leading out of the yard and Glyn followed his gaze. A dark red four-by-four had just driven through, and a young woman with long, nut-brown hair tied back in a ponytail, jumped out, shut the gate after her and came across the yard toward the paddocks
For Info: I still have a few audio codes for each of the three books in the Destiny Trilogy. If you would like one, or all three, just let me know with your email address at Lyn@hywelalyn.co.uk and I'll send you the ones you request, (Each book has its own code). If could manage to post a short review after you've listened, that would be greatly appreciated. 😍

“Da iawn—well done. That was a close one Dai, you okay?”
“I dunno where this one came from, Glyn,” Dai said, scrambling to his feet and scowling in the pony’s direction, “but I reckon she’s cursed. She may look like an angel when she’s standin’ in a field, but she’s a demon when you get on her, that she is. If the devil has a horse, this must be it, you mark my words.”
“Well don’t take any more chances with her Dai, I don’t want to risk you getting injured.”
