Hi, I'm Laurie.

I'm Laurie Berglie, aka the Maryland Equestrian. I write equestrian romance and am best known for my "Maryland Manor Series." I live on a horse farm with my husband, and when I'm not writing, I'm competing in the hunters and equitation, or galloping across the countryside on hunter paces.

Common questions

What order should I read the Maryland Manor Series in?

If you're looking for the entire backstory, start with the Prequel, Where the Bluegrass Grows. But for a stronger start, the series technically begins with Kicking On (Book 1). Then continue on to Taking Off (Book 2), Jingle Horse (Book 3, A Christmas Novella), and Letting Go (Book 4). All On is a stand-alone novel that can be read at any time.

Do I have to read the Maryland Manor books in order?

Yes, it is highly recommended that you read them in order! It's up to you if you want to start with Where the Bluegrass Grows or Kicking On though!

Is All On part of the Maryland Manor Series?

All On is a stand-alone novel. Its heroine, Cassidy Winters, first appears in Where the Bluegrass Grows, and because of that, it's a "companion novel" to the series. But you don't need to read anything else first before diving into this one!

What is Club Fenwick?

Fenwick is the fox you see all over Laurie's books and branding; he's her little literary sidekick. And his club is a book club, of course! Anyone can be a member of his club. The only requirement is that you love horses and books and books about horses!
