THE MÉTIS GIRL
INTERNET BOOK LAUNCH
She has a gambler's knife hidden in her leggings, the fastest horses on the prairie, a pocketful of money … and a plan. She is The Métis Girl … Mary James … from unrequited love to running her own drilling rig, she takes on the toughest challenges of Western Canada and won't back down.
TRANSFORMING THE BOOK INDUSTRY
EPublishing on Amazon is transforming today's book industry, just as iPods and Itunes transformed the music industry. As a bookseller, Amazon and other online booksellers such as Canadian Cowboy Country Magazine offer competitive pricing, fair treatment of authors, and instant availability to anybody connected to the Internet. That's why The Métis Girl is being released solely online throughout America and Europe, and why you won't find it on many bookstore shelves.
FOR NEW READERS
For new Sun On The Mountains readers, The Métis Girl is written as a stand-alone novel, so you don't need to know the back-story to keep up with this horse-racing warrior.
