She continued to write stories, essays, and poetry while studying at the University of Montana, the University of Wyoming, and the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies in Oxford, England.[3]
Since publishing her first novel, Dark Horse, in 1990, TSR Books has published an additional two novels in the Dark Horse Series as well as Dragonlance universe and other novels, three short stories in the Forgotten Realms Anthologies (see bibliography), and a chapter on Sanction in Bertrem's Guide to the War of Souls, Volume One.[3]

Hunnuli are a breed of wild horse magically created to partner and protect good magic wielders. They are huge, powerful, black and elegant, with a white lightning-bolt marking on their shoulder. Held in high regard even when humans forget their original purpose, the Hunnuli are immune to magic, fully sentient, and communicate telepathically with their chosen humans. They are intolerant of evil, and will fight to the death rather than serve an evil master.
