Sam Finden is author of four novels, including the wildly popular Daniel Foss trilogy. He began writing in his teens, penning short stories about lands uninhabited. His novels embrace the theme of doing the right thing, and he writes his characters to embody sound judgment.

Many of the characters in "Saddle My Good Horse" are based on acquaintances he made while bouncing around the west.

There are plenty of things around our little horse property that require me to think creatively and expend some physical energy. My grandma used to say, "Go outside and blow some stink off!" That's what I do- I plot for a new corral, reorganize some lumber behind the barn, or just go work with a horse. Again, this is just what works for me. Maybe you've got something else that trips your trigger, like going to the gym or painting your living room a different color. Whatever gets your mind engaged elsewhere is fine. Just step away, flex your mental and physical muscles a bit elsewhere, then come back to it. It'll click.(less)
