Meet Best-Selling Author Marsha Hubler and
THE LOVES OF SNYDER COUNTY SERIES published by Trestle 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
Bachelor's Choice (http://goo.gl/Ok5Bg), volume one in The Loves of Snyder County,
was released on July 1st, and Teacher's Pet (http://goo.gl/TyGLW), 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 Kreamer Christian
Academy , Kreamer ,
PA , and the Bethesda
Prep School , Milton , PA
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….”
She loves to hear
from her readers of all ages. Visit her at
