NEW Novel Out Now
A romance and coming-of-age narrative about personal freedom, staying true to oneself, and searching for the truth behind commonly held beliefs which may be but lies used to manipulate us.
Living in a brave new sensationalistic world, Eve Lorelei Birdwhistle, a young woman with a curiously independent mind pursues her dream of a bygone era and become a horse trainer, and must not only come to terms with the far-reaching repercussions of her professional and personal shortcomings, but also discover the reality behind the men who run her world.
The imperious Barrett Villin, and the tender-footed Edward Beaumont are two men Eve looks up to for very different reasons. Eve is grasping at the truth which will either help her emancipate from, or further entangle herself in the illusory matrix of pernicious dynastic influences in the equestrian scene (a mirror of the world at large).
Here, the rich and powerful have big ambitions, and little consideration, or love for others. Horses and people are used as pawns in their diabolic games, and gifted riders have to beg for scraps, yet never get a seat at the table that is meant to feed all, and not just a select few.
When an absent-minded patriarch, chemist and struggling alcoholic goes on a quest to save the world, his secrets and addiction interfere with family life and a horse breeding business. As Frankie works on a formula that could alter human DNA, he must avoid the threat of a cataclysm and protect his research from cunning assassins. His health declines, and he risks everything and applies the formula. On the run from the powerful man behind the assassins, he has two days to save his family and horses if he can get his formula to work.
A novel about family, hubris, generational trauma, corruption, secrets, and the mystical allure of horses.
A multifaceted, deeply personal tale of a family of oddball characters' unraveling from the looming pressures of governmental corruption, AI takeover, and Alien Invasion.
A startling archeological discovery in a remote region of Antarctica could change how we see our human species and life itself. This affects not only the larger world, but also the relationships of the people surrounding the lead archeologist which might never be the same again.
There is Joan, a young woman on a quest to find her calling; Robespierre, a man lost in the brilliance of his mind; Jack, a young man trying to prove himself to the woman he loves; Millie, a woman troubled by her heart’s impossible yearnings;
and Frankie, the changeable, irascible, yet lovable man who is followed by disaster wherever he goes.
“A transcendent debut. Katharina Haerer-Brane’s lyrical writing and world-building are unmatched.”
— Channing Lee, best-selling author
