Hiking New York: A
Guide to the State’s Best Hiking Adventures, 4th Edition
This updated guidebook
features seventy-five of the best trails the Empire State has to offer—from the
4,000-foot peaks of the Adirondacks and the lore of Rip Van Winkle’s Catskills,
to the glacier-gouged landscape of the Finger Lakes region. Each featured hike
includes detailed hike specs and descriptions, trailhead location and GPS
coordinates, mile-by-mile directional cues, gorgeous full-color photography,
and a detailed map. For more info, see: www.Falcon.com
1. What really inspired you to write your book, to force you from
taking an idea or experience and conveying it into a book?
New
paths, new places, new discoveries. We're avid hikers and trails are a great
way to meet and appreciate a state, to meet and appreciate New York. And, why not bring others along for the
journey?
2. What is it about and whom do you believe is your targeted reader?
It's
a guidebook to the trails of New York. Our primary readers are fellow hikers,
but also anyone interested in New York's habitats and history, vistas and
valleys, and known and unknown corners.
3. What do you hope will be the everlasting thoughts for
readers who finish your book? What should remain with them long after putting
it down?
That
there are great places to explore and Nature holds wonder. Trails have value. They teach, open
possibilities, and have a spiritual quality.
4. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers?
Write
for love. But if you seek to publish, remember books are a business. Think
costs, reader numbers, competition, promotion, product line, and make your
books as appealing to the accountant as to the reader.
5. What trends in the book world do you see and where do you think
the book publishing industry is heading?
Book publishing
must meet people in the venues they frequent, be it print, digital, or audio. Fortunately, there remains a core market that
prefers the tactile nature of turning a page. We have no idea where publishing is heading,
but we're on board for the ride.
6. What great challenges did you have in writing your book?
Nature
always throws some tricks our way.
Working on a deadline, we cannot always choose clear days and ideal
conditions. But that's part of the
adventure.
7. If people can only buy one book this month, why should it be
yours?
Daily
life is hectic and the escape, pace and discovery of the trail provides a great
counterbalance. And New York certainly has a diversity to be cherished.
