It's nice to see Dick Francis, an established pro, still learning, still finding new ways>
to enrich his very successful formula.
Long may he live and write.

Have you ever seen horses running with the wind through a chilly foggy morning? Their hoofprints in the sand
and a flesh of freedom
in their eyes? Have you ever feel their shiny satin fur under your hand and their power
while sitting on their back? Have you ever smell
that animal pride? Yeah, it's the beginning of love...
You suddenly feel like being caught. And once far away you miss them like hell. I see...
No one can write on those wonderful animals likeDick Francis. I first discovered his crime stories as a college student.
You surly know that
- many new friends, many new interests - and there were a few of them horseriding club members.
I became one of them...and lost my heart for horses for ever.
An exuberant, irresistible collision between writing and racing...Few match Francis for dangerous flights of fancy and pure, inventive menace.

Francis has a knack for capturing characters, relationships and scenes in a few brief lines - sometimes with piercing insight, more often
with the simple precision that plesantly fuels the reader's imagination.

While browsing the web I found some interesting pages on Dick Francis. One of the most outstanding sites is Mary's. Something to hear is on the BBC page.
Interested? Then have a look at the list of his books (will be available later). And don't forget to leave a note on your experience in my
