Give Your Soulmate the Gift of “Solemates” This Valentine’s Day!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 25, 2012 -- “Solemates” is the endearing personal story of a middle-aged, professional couple, with no previous backpacking experience, who decided to test their 14-year marriage and spend six months hiking the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine, in one continuous hike. Within the pages of “Solemates,” the reader travels alongside this intrepid duo as they discover whether or not their motto, “Quitting is not an option,” is a blessing or a curse?

“Solemates” is not a day-by-day journal of trail life, but rather a candid, introspective, and sometimes humorous look into the range of emotions experienced during the pursuit of such a life-changing adventure. For 2,175 miles, Randy Motz and Georgia Harris, or “Windtalker” and “Mom,” as they were known on the trail, wrestle with their personal weaknesses and learn to capitalize on each other’s strengths, and in doing so, gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to make and keep a relationship strong.

It is a warmhearted account of lessons in perseverance, human nature, compassion, understanding, teamwork, and most of all, love. Their stories, and those of their thru-hiking companions, reveal insights into the human spirit and refreshing perspectives on what is truly important in life. Not just for hikers, “Solemates” is a book about a 14-year relationship and how the unique hurdles and rewards they experienced together apply to everyone’s relationships in everyday life.

“Solemates is available online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble and as an eBook for Kindle, Nook, SONY WiFi Reader, Kobo Pulse, and other popular eBook readers; even Android phones. It can also be purchased from the Apple Store and downloaded to an iPad, iPod, iPad Touch, or to a computer with iTunes.

In mid-2012, Randy and Georgia’s second book, “The Walk – Reflections on Life and Faith from the Appalachian Trail” will also be available in an eBook format. In “The Walk” the authors draw the many inescapable parallels between walking the Appalachian Trail and a walk of faith.
