MOONLIGHT MESA ASSOCIATES
Welcomes You!
Moonlight Mesa Associates is a small,
independent publishing company formed in 2006. After a series of successful private publications, the directors of MMA
have decided to expand the company's publishing schedule to include up to four books per calendar year.
The company will specialize in Western fiction and nonfiction only at this time...as in "Cowboy Up" westerns!
Darn Tootin'!
Before You Submit
Before you contact us, there
are a few things we'd like you to know about us and how we'd like to do business. If you don't agree with these basic ideas,
then don't bother to submit your material.
Our code of ethics is drawn directly from James P. Owens' Cowboy
Ethics. If you're not familiar with this work, perhaps it would be worth your while to check it out. If Owens believes
that Wall Street can learn ethics from the "Code of the West," then maybe we can all learn something from this code.
In short, we adhere to these basic principles:
1. Live Each Day With Courage
2.
Take Pride in Your Work
3. Always Finish What You Start
4.
Do What Has to be Done
5. Be Tough, But Fair
6. When
You Make a Promise, Keep It
7. Ride for the Brand
8.
Talk Less and Say More
9. Remember That Some Things Aren't for Sale
10
Know Where to Draw the Line
