The Phantom Stallion

Dear teachers, librarians, fellow writers, book and animal lovers,

Thanks for your interest in inviting me to visit!

Wondering if I'll fit in with your crowd? I've taught high school in downtown Los Angeles, spoken at the Palomino Valley wild horse corrals, conducted writer workshops from New York to San Francisco, and I'll be happy to talk with you and brainstorm schemes for whatever you want to accomplish!

I'm excited to meet you!

Terri

Thank you notes:

"Thank you for providing the Girl Scouts with such a wonderful program! Your hands-on workshop had the girls engaged, excited, and tapping into their amazing creativity. You planted the seed and I fully expect to see some of the participants as future authors."
- Paula Cady, Program Specialist, Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada

"Terri is an incredible author who inspires tween and teen readers, as well as other writers, all over the world. Through her PHANTOM STALLION series, she ties her advocacy for wild horses to her fabulous novels, making younger readers aware of the wild horses' plight through the medium of entertainment.

Terri's an engaging speaker and a detail-oriented, student-focused instructor to other writers. If I were a teacher, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have for a school visit. Terri Farley's top notch!"
- Lynda Sandoval, YA and adult author, instructor Long Ridge Writers Group, SCBWI mentor

"I'm so glad Laura's movie book review of The Phantom Stallion brought Terri Farley to the Seabury Hall campus, for a fun day talking about books and horses -- two of Terri's passions. Aloha!"
- Linda Lindsay, librarian Seabury Middle School

"I can't even begin to tell you how much we appreciated you coming to DC and how valuable you were in the meetings...We would LOVE to have you again... and again... and again! Your speech at the reception was fantastic. It moved everyone and was so motivating."
- Nancy Perry, Vice President of Government Affairs, Humane Society of the United States

Terri is accepting proposals for September 2009 - February 2010 appearances.
