C. S. Adler

Carole Adler is an American author of children's and young adult books, three of which are about horses. All of the books, including the horse stories, are about teenagers dealing with various problems of growing up and life in general. Before becoming a writer, she worked as a teacher. She enjoys playing tennis and has written a story with tennis as a background. However I am not sure what her interest is in horses.

Ms. Adler has her own website.
