I finished your mule book!! I LOVED it!!! I
think it will be a big hit. Just have to get the word out.
I like it even better than I did the TWH book. It is
such an honest and compelling story and, even if I didn't know you, I'd
really appreciate all the experiences that you have had in this first time
endeavor with the mules. I think you did a great job on
this and hope that it sells like hotcakes. Anyone who loves
equines will sure enjoy this book. It's better than lots of
the horse memoirs that I've read and I think you have a winner here. I
love the way that you did the pictures!

Mules and More Mules: The Adventures and Misadventures of a First Time Mule
Owner
Rose Miller takes us on her journey into the world of mules starting with her first tentative steps with a pokey mule named Charlie along the Grand Canyon trails. She describes the magnificent vistas and heart-stopping mishaps on these narrow trails so that you feel like you are riding on mule-back right behind her. She left that experience with a burning desire to own a mule of her own. Mirabella enters her barn and her life. But, this mule was just the beginning of Rose’s love affair with these long eared equine hybrids. “You can’t stop with just one mule,” Rose learns. Because of her bad back she needed a gaited mule and one that would allow her to sit back and enjoy the ride, but not all was smooth going. Continue along for the trip as she uses her engaging around-the-campfire-story-telling style to introduce her other mules Samson, Maybellene, Ruth Ann, Susie, and Lucinda. You will laugh out loud as she learns the hard way, “mules and horses are different.”
But, after a few nasty and painful spills Rose begins to question if she should continue riding. “Only those who never ride, never fall,” Rose writes. Does Rose hang up her saddle or does she overcome her fears? You won’t want to stop until you’ve read the whole inspiring book and finished the journey along side Rose and her mules.

The Book of Mules (The Lyons Press 2009)
Rose Miler has done it again! In her new book, Mules, Mules and More Mules Rose takes us on her trip down the Grand Canyon wall and into the next chapter of her life with equines. Learn along with Rose as she discovers the difference between horse training and mule training. I laughed out loud at mule antics and deeply sympathized when Rose "bit the dirt" after she was pitched off one of her mules. I loved this book and have recommended it to all my animal lover friends. If you already own a mule you will definitely appreciate Rose's experiences with her mules. If you don't own a mule you will be tempted to start looking for one. I know I am.

I enjoyed this book! I especially liked the little mention that Hoosier and I received. Mules, Mules and More Mules is a cute story about one woman's quest for the perfect mule. The author learns to love and learn from the mules she encounters on this journey, and readers can benefit from her trials and tribulations along the way. It is a good read for anyone planning on going "mule shopping," and anyone who has ever been, will be able to relate to Rose's tale. Rose is right when she says that mules are like potato chips: "You can't eat just one." And readers will be closer to understanding why.

Rose Miller's book: Mules, Mules and More
Mules, contains a great deal of information that will be interesting and
helpful to mule and horse owners. Every new mule owner, and those who are
considering buying their first mule, should definitely read her story.

Mules (The Lyons Press 2005)
I thought Mules, Mules and More Mules was very well written. The descriptions of things and events made them easy to understand. This book held my attention all the way through, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Most people that have purchased a mule have gone through some of the same experiences. I especially think that people who haven’t had mules very long will appreciate these stories and be able to relate to them. The main message I got was: if you take the time to understand your mule and learn to work with it, you’ll have a wonderful companion.

Rose's all-true mule
adventure begins with a gripping mule ride down a wall-clinging switchback trail
into the Grand Canyon. I found myself leaning away from the precipice as I read
her matter-of-fact and thrilling prose. Her life with mules unfolds as a great
true adventure for any reader, young or old.
