About ConnieConnie Johnson Hambley grew up on a small dairy farm just north of New York City. In 1965, an arsonist burned her family's barn to the ground. From that experience grew the story that became The Charity.Connie write mainstream thrillers with an equine element. Her heroine is an accomplished equestrian. She writes about strong women from their perspective in situations that demand the most from them. No special powers, no gadgets, no super human abilities. Just a woman caught up or embroiled in something that she has to get out of, hopefully alive. Angelea Kelly hosted Connie on her show, HorseGirlTV.
