Autor

Serena lives with her husband and dogs in rural South Warwickshire, where they brought up their three children, who have now fled the nest. Military (but especially cavalry) blood flows through her veins - being the daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter ad infinitum of soldiers and the wife of an ex-cavalry officer. This is her debut book, which was brought about by a chance discovery of the existence of the grave of her grandfather's charger, Hopit. This set her off on a voyage of discovery into military history, research and the somewhat trickier investigation into the bloodline and life of one great war horse.
