You can see my picture slideshow to the right, as well as a recap of my hike mile by mile and gear list. Download the ebook about my hike on iTunes. I hope you find my quest inspiring. Thanks for visiting and Happy Trails!

I am an author!

Finally, almost three years after finishing the trail, I am extremely proud to announce that I have finally written an e-book about my Appalachian Trail hike:Check it out in iTunes! You can download it now FOR FREE for your iPad or iPhone! I spent a lot of time editing my journal entries, adding pictures, and embedding video to make it a true trail experience. Download it and let me know what you think. If you like it, please tell your friends about it and write a review on iTunes so more people can read about it. I guess I can knock "Write a book" off my bucket list now. :)

More speaking engagements... and e-book?

I haven't really visited this space much recently. My first year of teaching is keeping me extremely busy. Still, I am finding some time to give my talk about the AT at local libraries, and have begun work on converting my journal into an iPad compatible e-book using the newly released iBook Author program by Apple. It is a lot of fun, though progress is slow because of my limited time. I am also in training to complete a Half-Ironman in June. I don't know where I find the time to do all of this. Anyways below are my upcoming speaking engagements. Feel free to swing by if you live in the Rochester area.

February 16, 2012 7PM - Ontario Public Library
May 7, 2012 7PM - Irondequoit Library

More to come!

So tell me... Do you have an iPad? Are you interested in my ebook? I have no idea how much interest there is out there and what the market is for Appalachian Trail ebooks. Hope everyone is enjoying this mild winter!
