C.S. Lewis said, “True friends don’t spend time gazing into each other’s eyes. They may show great tenderness towards each other but they face in the same direction - toward common projects, goals - above all, towards a common Lord.”
Anselm Fellow Ashlee Cowles has co-written a novel with collaborator Danielle Stinson (under the pseudonym A.D. Rhine), and in this time together, they’ll share what they learned in their experience—how they developed a shared vision, what role shared history and values played in the process, and what did (and didn’t) work along the way.
Format: we’ll begin our time with a few minutes of sharing from Ashlee and Danielle, and the rest of the time will be interactive in nature—bring your questions!

Afterward
This event will be followed by a conversation and book signing at the Tattered Cover down the street. We encourage you to join us in continuing the conversation over there!
About A.D. Rhine
A. D. Rhine is the pseudonym of Ashlee Cowles and Danielle Stinson. The authors are united by their military “brat” upbringing, childhood friendship spanning two decades, and love of classical literature. Ashlee holds graduate degrees in Medieval History from the University of St. Andrews and Theological Studies (with an emphasis in the Ethics of War and Peace) from Duke University. Danielle holds a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from Tufts University. Their adult debut Horses of Fire is the book they have always dreamt of writing together.
About Horses of Fire
“Narrated by the fierce women of Troy, Horses of Fire is epic in scope and intricately vivid in the details...I felt every pound of the horse’s hooves, heard every whispered desire, tasted the dust of the land, and fell in love with all four complicated women. You’ll never see the old stories the same way again. Horses of Fire is an immersive and sensory experience of pageturning adventure.”
–New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry
