Former Mantracker Star Releases Ultimate Guide to Tracking Man or Beast

Nov. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- For six years Terry Grant was one of the biggest reality television stars in the world. Now the former host of OLNs Mantracker is teaching other people the skills he used to hunt sports stars and squabbling couples through the Canadian wilderness. In partnership with self-publishing company FriesenPress, Terry and co-author Nadine Robinson will officially release Mantracking: The Ultimate Guide to Tracking Man or Beast on November 30, 2012, with a book signing event in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

“If everyone read this book, fewer people would get lost in the woods,” says Terry. Designed as an introductory guide to tracking animals and humans through any environment, the book is as much about promoting getting outdoors and paying attention to your impact on the environment as it is about stalking prey.

Self-publishing, with the assistance of FriesenPress, has allowed Terry and Nadine to donate more dollars from the sale of every book to Scouts Canada and other organizations that promote and respect wilderness pursuits. “We turned down a deal from a big Canadian publisher because the industry royalty rate is real low,” says Terry. “If we didn't self-publish with FriesenPress, we wouldn't have been able to donate anything.”

FriesenPress Director Author Services Tammara Kennelly says, “It has been a pleasure to work with Nadine and Terry to produce a beautiful book with more dollars going towards supporting such a great cause. We hope more authors will take advantage of this unique opportunity that self publishing offers.”

Mantracking: The Ultimate Guide to Tracking Man or Beast can be ordered online now through www.mantracking.ca and received in time to fill Christmas stockings. Find out more about the authors and the book at www.mantracking.ca.
