New Book Teasers for Horses in Gray

Over the weekend, I recruited my son to help me design some new book teasers for my nonfiction book, Horses in Gray. He is an amazing talent and has helped me create book teasers for nearly all of my books, as well as book trailers for Horses in Gray, A Becharmed Callie Christmas, A Beautiful Glittering Lie, and A Beckoning Hellfire (which I will share with you next week). Here are the teasers we came up with. Please let me know what you think! And don’t forget to share! (Thanks again, Jesse Hawkins!)
