R.T. Fitch’s life has been anything but ordinary. Straight out of high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force Band during the Vietnam era, and while stationed in Hawaii, he spent weekends at Sea Life Park training penguins, sea lions, and whales. His path through life has taken many unexpected turns—including more than a few lessons in love—until meeting his wife, Terry, brought a lasting partnership and a shared passion for animals. Over the course of his adult career, R.T. worked internationally in multiple countries, gaining a broad, global perspective that colors both his worldview and his writing. Now rooted in Texas, he and Terry live on a small farm surrounded by four-legged companions with paws, claws, and hooves. Together, they have devoted years to equine rescue and wild horse protection. An ordained volunteer chaplain and professional Santa Claus for a local historical society—with Terry by his side as Mrs. Claus—R.T. brings warmth, wisdom, and joy to every season. His work reflects a life of service, wonder, and connection to both people and animals. He is the author of Straight from the Horse’s Heart, a moving collection of true rescue stories and spiritual reflections, and Fangs of Light, a supernatural tale steeped in symbolic and metaphorical storytelling. The first in a planned trilogy, Fangs of Light blends myth and mystery to explore themes of identity, redemption, and the power of empathy—offering readers not only suspense and intrigue but a deeper look at the light and shadow within us all.


I’m so happy that Siren was rescued but if she was only a yearling WHY ON EARTH would anyone put a saddle on her and ride her??? So many so-called “horse people” know nothing about a horse’s well being. A horse’s skeletal system isn’t developed for six years and the last part of that development is the spine—where people sit! The veterinary science is available showing the damage to a horse’s spine from rider and saddle, but PARTICULARLY before six years of their total skeletal development. You may have rescued a horse that would have probably died, so WHY be cruel to it like this ??? Horse owners: PLEASE learn about horses! Most horse owners are SO CLUELESS!
