Getting a book published can feel like a more challenging endeavor than hiking 2,190 miles. However, after months of relentless editing and design work, I’m happy to announce that It’s Just Walking: Just Pete on the Appalachian Trail is set to be released on November 14th!

The book is currently available for pre-sale on various platforms including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Links to both sites are at the bottom of this post. Unlike a Taylor Swift concert, there’s no rush to pre-order. While I’d be thrilled with an abundance of pre-orders, rest assured, we won’t run out of stock! For those who prefer digital copies, the book will also eventually be available as an eBook on platforms such as Kindle.
Currently, I don’t plan to sell directly through my website. I realize that many friends want signed copies. For my friend in the Bristol, SD area, we will be home this summer and I will arrange some type of “signing party” to make that happen.
Ponte Vedra Beach friends, I’ve got you covered too. Some books will be shipped directly to me, and they will be available on November 9. If you’ve already expressed your interest in a copy, I’ll be reaching out to you for confirmation including your preference for hardcover or paperback and the quantity you’d like.
For the rest of you, please know that I’ll do my best to eventually sign a copy for you. Unfortunately, shipping books around can get to be costly, unless of course, you’re Amazon.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for you unwavering support throughout my adventures. I hope you thoroughly enjoy the book. I wouldn’t be releasing it if I didn’t think you would.
Happy Trails.
Just Pete

Congratulations Jeff. It’s almost like having a baby isn’t it? – ooops, I guess you wouldn’t know about that.
Anyway, for now we would like to reserve 1 hard copy signed by the awesome author. We’ll wait to hear from you when you get to it. I think you have some travelling on the horizon too, so there’s no rush.

Just an idea to share with you. If you want to have your book sold in the Bristol area for those that don’t have the means to order them, contact Robert Kwasniewski at Cornwell Drug. He has sold many books from the area. 605-345-3351.

Jeff,
Glad to hear. To produce them it sounds was almost as big an undertaking as the Appalachian trail itself. I told you I will take 2 hardcover copies. One for Roger, one for me. Both autographed would be appreciated. Will be fun to read. Please let me know when and I will get them.
Victor Sincerely,
Victor R. Fransen
