As always, Francis writes about horses. Horses are the thread that hold his books together, but none of his books are the same. He always manages to put a different spin on things and he's never boring!

I mean, the man's written about so many different professions: jockeys, toy makers (High Stakes), teachers, negotiators for kidnap victims, painters, politicians, detectives, government agents, pilots, truck drivers, survival guide writers. You name it, he's got it.

His characters are always ordinary yet extraordinary in what they can accomplish when they set their minds to. They discover strength they didn't know they had.

Francis is not one of those authors who feel the need to use explicit language or sex scenes, but the sexiness is definitely there!
