Thank you for the mention of our forthcoming book Wild Horse Annie and the Last of the Mustangs.

Publication is March 16th but you can order advance copies at www.ispmb.org -- Wild Horse Annie's original organization -- and proceeds benefit its work.

We also wanted to know if you'd received an advanced copy of the book.

We have started a blog to provide information about Wild Horse Annie that we couldn't fit into the book. Here's the link. www.wildhorseanniestory.com

And there is a great book trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpRvrliv3yc

To the moderator -- pls let us know if you have received a review copy and if not, where to send it.
