Jacqui Broderick aka Louise Broderick

British author born in Derbyshire. She now lives on the West coast of Irerland. She has been involved with horses all her life, as an owner, competitor in various equine events, and editor of equine and animal magazines. She now writes full time. She has written some adult romance type novels set in the world of racing and a very good childrens pony story set in Connemara. She also wrote a biography of jockey Shane Broderick who was tragically paralyzed after a fall.

She writes under the names of both Jaqui and Louise Broderick. A pony for Free was, according to her website, also published under the name of Alicia Locke, but I can't find any evidence of the title under that name. If you do have an edition of the book with that author name I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

The author has her own publishing company, Lavender and White, with which she has published some of her books.

Ms. Broderick has two websites, one under each name.
