Mystery author and horsewoman Gayle Carline has a sense of humor–and so do her readers.
According to her website, Gayle began writing after buying her first horse. Her writing career started with regular contributions to California Riding Magazine–and broke into a canter from there.
Since 2005, Gayle has been writing a humor column for her local paper. And in 2009, she ventured into new territory with the publication of Freezer Burn, her first funny mystery novel in the “Peri Minneopa” series.
Gayle has now written four “Peri Minneopa” mysteries, including her most recent one, The Hot Mess. She also has two humor books to her credit. This summer, though, she’s publishing a different type of story: From the Horse’s Mouth: One Lucky Memoir, about her horse, Snoopy.
At the recent Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, Gayle talked about her mystery novels, her future writing plans and offered some great resources for aspiring writers!
