I couldn't tell a difference between that book and an electronic copy of The Return of the Indian, the property of a major publisher. Because what attracted me to the book was the author and the promised content, not the means of publication. Ironically, I actually read a paper copy of The Girl Who Remembered Horses:) But I recently downloaded The Wrong-Coloured Dragon by Lynne Reid Banks, read it, and loved before I ever realized it had been published directly through Amazon rather than a major publishing house. Musa Publishing is primarily an electronic publisher and why not? Most of the reading I do these days is on my Kindle. Third, I wanted to know more about Musa Publishing. Second, this particular girl-and-her-horse book is set in the world of the post-apocalypse, which made me curious. I enjoyed her previous girl-and-her-horse and girl-and-her-dog books enormously and I admire her writing.
The first was that this particular girl-and-her-horse book was written by our good friend Linda Benson, who was one of the first authors ever to appear here. I'll call it The Hoof-print on my Heart:) I tell you all this so you will know it took a bit of convincing for me to agree to read yet another book about a girl and horses. I tease my writer's group that if I'm not happily published by a certain date, I'm going to break down and write my own girl-and-her-horse story. However many it's been, it's too many for a grown man in his early thirties:) Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Emma's River and Whirlwind and Linda Benson's The Horse Jar(I gotta say I like the Spanish title better: La Alcancia De Los Suenos, or, The Piggybank of Dreams). Oh, Esteemed Reader, I've lost track of the number of girl-and-her-horse stories I've reviewed at this blog. The sound must have been from the dream, the dream she had again and again. She blinked, rubbing sleep from her eyes.
Was it rain against the tent? Rain would bring relief from the dust and the smothering heat. First Paragraph: Sahara awoke to a pounding inside her head.
