Breeding Ground, Wright’s most recent novel, is the first in her Jo Grant mystery series, which has to do with the horse industry in Lexington, Kentucky.
I was lucky to meet Sally several times, and she came to Berkeley for a Literary Salon. So much fun and so informative. We corresponded over the years, and she contributed to the Mystery Readers Journal, as well as Mystery Fanfare.
She will be missed.

Sally was the first "real" writer I met when I was starting out. She spoke at the local library and suggested I get in touch with her agent at the time, the late Pam Strickler. Pam and I worked together for a couple of years, getting close to a sale, until we parted amicably when I chose to take the series in a different direction. I learned a LOT about writing from her, and I always appreciated Sally's patience and grace in talking with me that evening. She was a class act.
