About
Pony Louder is a writer and literary host. She creates book-focused events that turn reading into a shared experience and writes the kind of fiction that takes you places.
In The Memory of Blood we went from a cotton mill in Industrial-age Britain to the lavish beachfront home of one of the world’s most famous stars. In Octopus we ended up in an abandoned cattle farm in the Australian outback.
Pony travelled through Greece, Japan, Bali and Australia for six months plotting and researching her third book. She’s now in editing stages.
Stay tuned.
