Florida to Maine by Bike and Train is Seth W’s third e-book and end result of a traveling stint he recently completed. After the cover, which has Seth channeling Leonidas on his bike, the pages are filled with photos, stories about the places he visited, and some good advice if there’s been something you’ve always wanted to do but could (or would) never find the opportunity.
In an interview about a month ago the tour was named “14 Cities in 14 Days”, yet as plans seemed to have changed he visited two less cities than mentioned. It’s kind of a interesting indicator of the spontaneous nature of the project, and I can’t be sure if this was because of an unforeseen snag. Seth would be the first to admit a mistake.
Like what Tobias Buckell did with writing short science fiction stories in Nascence, Florida to Maine is about attempting the unknown and documenting the results. These results are never perfect, but as I’ve said before on here — and as others have said before, undoubtedly — if you’re not screwing up you’re not doing it right. For every one awesome story idea you should have a dozen unworkable ones, and it appears the same would hold true for something like a traveling adventure.
You can buy Florida to Maine right now for however much you’d like to spend. He’s also selling other e-books for the same price, to clear the shelves for expanded editions.
