The Author

My name is Sofia Fleming and I am the author of the up and coming book "Brave as the Battle Fought." I am 17 years old and I am very excited about sharing my book with the world.  I have been a horse enthusiast ever since I was one year old and I have been riding ever since I was three. My love for horses has driven me to write this marvelous novel about a horse stuck in the midst of war. 

Required to write a short story in the 7th grade, I was determined to write it about horses. With some intense research I stumbled upon Sergeant Reckless and Warrior. I was inspired by the lives and heroics of these real war heroes. From then on I was determined to write a thrilling story about a war horse. My 10 page short story didn't seem to get all the details I wanted. So at age 13 I began writing my novel. It has been hard work, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every hour of research and every word that I have put into my story. 

The intense process of going through hundreds of World War One era newspapers, documentaries, diary entries, essays and books has been a bit time consuming then I originally thought. The first book of the series will be ready to be launched by Independence day of 2023.
