Amy Thomson

Excerpt: 
"Are you kidnapping me?" Tiffany asked. She seemed more curious than scared. "What?" Vartan replied, startled. "It's okay if you do. They don't have any horses back in the village. And I can't be Princess Starshine without a horse.  But I won't marry you. You're too old." Miach emitted a strangled cough. Edan giggled outright. "I'm already married," he replied. "And you're too skinny." "I am not!" "Yes you are," he said. "Now behave, or you'll have to walk all the way to camp. And you can't be Princess Starshine without a horse."
