Pups, Ponies & Pages

Where stories come to life through a love of animals, imagination, and reading. As an author, I create heartwarming tales inspired by the joy of pups, the magic of ponies, and the adventure found within every page. My books are designed to inspire young readers, spark creativity, and celebrate the special bond between people and animals.

Gypsy Vanner Horse

Renowned for its striking beauty, gentle temperament, and flowing mane, the Gypsy Vanner Horse is a breed that captivates both horse enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Combining strength, elegance, and intelligence, these remarkable horses are celebrated for their versatility and their deep connection with people. Their distinctive appearance and calm nature make them a treasured companion, whether in the show ring, on the trail, or as part of a family.

Patricia Yager Delagrange

The most important part of my life has always been my family, both the one I was born into and the one formed by my marriage. My father was an Oakland firefighter for thirty-five years while my mother stayed home to care for their six daughters. With five sisters, it was quite the challenge getting five strong women in one household to agree about almost anything. Therefore, it should be no surprise that the theme of all my women’s fiction novels is relationships, whether between sisters, moms and daughters, or the families of the daughters. I weave tales of men and women and their loved ones, sprinkling my books with intriguing characters who struggle to find balance in life. Whether an unwed teenager, desperate widow, abandoned father, disconnected sisters, or a troubled couple, my characters form relationships impacted by their desire to create a cohesive family. To-date, I have nine published novels and am at work on my tenth.

I live with my husband on the picturesque, man-made island of Alameda, across the bay from San Francisco. We have two kids, a son at home and our daughter in the state of Washington. Our two chocolate labs—UJE and Remy—provide endless entertainment. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me on the back of my black-and-white Gypsy Vanner horse, Zemra, in the hills of Oakland.

Two Sisters

Two Sisters is a heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and the unbreakable bonds we share with our pets.
