About Our Company

Moon River was formed in 1990 with the publication of its first title—Walk Yourself Thin—which has since morphed into Walk Yourself Fit— followed a year later by Dying For A Smoke—with both books targeted at helping people change their lives for the better—and to do so in the most effective, most entertaining way possible.

About Our Books

Walk Yourself FitIn the words of the Editorial Director of the Prevention Book Club:
"This is by far one of the most inspiring books on walking we've offered. Guaranteed to motivate anyone who picks it up."
'Nuff said?
What Your Neighbors Have Been Saying About Walk Yourself Fit
Sample Audio
Dying For A Smoke
Like it says on the cover:
"The book the tobacco companies are praying you'll never read!"
Why? Because the author "takes you by the hand" and walks you seamlessly from the "smoking world" to the "non-smoking universe," so you can finally start living the life you were put here to live, not the one the tobacco companies tricked you into living!
Both books are available as actual books and eBooks -- on this website, as well as through Amazon, iTunes, and Barnes & Noble.For more information, please don't hesitate to give us a call.
