Welcome to award-winning The Hill Country Authors Podcast. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with authors who live in and write up the Texas Hill Country. In this episode Tom visits with children’s book author Peggy Sundberg, Cowgirl Peg. Peggy Sundberg has both achieved inspiring success stories through her love of writing and animals. Peggy, born and raised in Alvin, Texas, developed a love of writing and horses from a young age. Peggy had a lifelong dream of rescuing horses, especially old ones that nobody wanted anymore. She was able to pursue his dream when he was 50 and his lifestyle changed, living in a horse trailer and a barn on a small ranch in western Colorado. Peggy had four of her own horses and five fosters living on the ranch and worked with a group out of Denver to foster horses. She also had a lifelong dream of writing children's books with meaningful messages and was able to do this after rescuing a little horse and hearing his story. The book was about friendship and tolerance of differences in a happy way. Peggy's latest book, Crooze on Croozer, was not planned and was inspired by a woman who asked him to write a book about her dog. The book is about a blind blue healer dog and is told from the perspective of the dog. Peggy did research with the Texas School for the Blind to ensure she was getting the story right, and the book is meant to be a feel-good story and to inspire those with disabilities to do great things. The book is a truly Texan product, and Tom hopes it will make kids think about what it would be like to be blind and to appreciate the things they can see.
