Robin Hutton's book, "SGT Reckless" has all the makings of a great movie and her biography is now on the NY Times Best Seller's list. A heartwarming true story of an amazing horse!

Robin, your book "Sgt. Reckless, America's War Horse" is simply amazing! It's wonderful that you are telling the story of her remarkable life, what inspired you to write this biography?"
OMG Thank you so much, Dev! This little mare has taken me on a wonderful adventure, that’s for sure! I first discovered her story in a book called “Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover’s Soul.” There was a short story in there about the birth of her first colt, Fearless. I read three paragraphs of her heroics during the Korean War and I thought, “Who is this horse, and why have I never heard about her?” because I thought it was the greatest horse story I had ever read. I googled her name and only four items came up on the internet! She had vanished from the pages of history! I felt that was a travesty and so I started researching her story. The more I learned about her and the Marines that served with her, the more I decided to make it my mission that she, and they, will never vanish from history again.

Cali Gilbert has a her own publishing company for aspiring authors with a message to share. She's truly an inspirational author who shares her story in her latest book, "It's Simply Serendipity.

Cali what inspired you to write your first book and tell us a little bit about it?
My first book, It's Simply Sausalito: An Inspirational Journey came about because of the year 2011. I experienced so much loss in that year (miscarried a child, lost a relationship, funds ran out, car died and I lost my home). I needed an outlet for my grieving, and the best way I express myself is through my photographs and the written word. The book became a collaboration of photographs I had taken of my hometown, Sausalito, California and inspirational phrases, lessons I had learned throughout that year.

During your daytime career playing Drucilla Winters on Y&R, you also were a series regular on the primetime show, “Diagnosis Murder" opposite, the great Dick Van Dyke. How did you manage to do both of those shows at the same time?
When Bill Bell wanted me for the role of Drucilla, it was understood by him that I had already been guest spotting on prime time and that was my goal. I came from NYC and was always auditioning, plus my character was only scheduled to work a couple days a week, so when I booked “Diagnosis Murder” there wasn’t an issue with him, especially since it was a CBS show. I was completely able to do both.

Viki you have had so many careers in your life, tell us how you evolved into publishing?
I have been an entrepreneur since I started a neighborhood newspaper when I was eight years old. I came by it naturally. My father was a barnstormer, and then a glider pilot in the Air Force. His sense of adventure was one of the many things I adored about him and soon emulated.

I developed a national ad agency when I was in my mid-20’s, and was acquired three years later. My clients, many Fortune 100 companies, requested my services in the area of change management and process reengineering with their teams. This became a great career that took me all over the globe for over 25 years.
