About Steve Adams

I've wanted to write for many years. Along with playing the piano, publishing a book became an ambition as 1989 ticked over into 1990. The piano remains a challenge that I have tried and managed to get a few recognizable sounds from, yet I remain a mediocre pianist. Until May 2016, I had failed colossally in my attempt to get a book published--not least because I hadn't actually written one.
The digital publishing disruption has opened up opportunities previously undreamed of, so I took advantage of my Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2014 to record and publish my stories. I've been touched by the positive reviews of the books and intend to find more subjects to write about. In the interim, you can find me in the following places:

My Appalachian Trial I: Three Weddings and a Sabbatical May 1, 2016

by Steve Adams

( 149 )

$3.99

Steve Adams, a retired, overweight, 61-year-old Brit, who had never hiked in his life, decided one day that he wanted an adventure. Not willing to settle for just any old adventure, he decided to hike the entire length of America’s Appalachian Trail, a beguiling attraction for many hikers, both home-grown and from all corners of the globe.

Stretching from Georgia to Maine, taking its travelers on a whimsical journey through national forests and parks, along ridges and over mountains, the A.T. is the longest hiking-only trail in the world. The Appalachian Trail is physically strenuous and emotionally taxing, involving a commitment of about six months to complete the entire 2,200 miles: only one in four of the people who start in Georgia will actually complete the hike. Steve was completely unprepared for the myriad challenges that the trail offered him, but took them on with gusto.

My Appalachian Trial I: Three Weddings and a Sabbatical tells Steve’s story of the hike from its origins, details his careful preparation and tentative first steps, and follows his faltering progress and eventual growth as a hiker. Often intimate, sometimes profound, and occasionally profane, My Appalachian Trial I explains why Steve was drawn to such an iconic trail, how he embraced it, and what happened when things went wrong.

Hiking The Appalachian Trail Is Easy: Especially If You've Never Hiked Before Jul 17, 2016

by Steve Adams

( 21 )

$2.99

The Appalachian Trail is an onerous, difficult hike that requires commitment and determination. When Steve Adams took on the challenge in 2014 he had never hiked a day in his life. Surprisingly, this turned out to be more a benefit than a deterrent. With no context in which to make his decisions, Steve muddled through, learning as he went along. Follow him in his haphazard preparations for the hike and share a few of his early steps.

This short book is a precursor to his extensive account of the journey, found elsewhere on Amazon. My Appalachian Trial I: Three Weddings and a Sabbatical and My Appalachian Trial II: Creaking Geezer, Hidden Flagon tell the story of Steve's journey and the transformation that happened along the way.
