Phoenix, Arizona – June 10, 2025 – Award-winning and Best-Selling author Cory Mortensen announces the release of his fourth book, Middle Miles. This memoir chronicles Mortensen’s bicycle journey from Canada to Mexico along the Pacific Coast, blending reflections on the road ahead with contemplations of the life left behind. The narrative is rich with philosophical insights, humor, and unflinching honesty.
Five years after his best seller, The Buddha and the Bee, Mortensen embarks on a new adventure, capturing the essence of the open road and the introspection it invites. Readers will traverse diverse landscapes and encounter a tapestry of characters, all while delving into Mortensen’s personal musings on life, purpose, and the passage of time.
“This journey was as much about the miles covered as it was about the thoughts pondered,” says Mortensen. “Cycling the Pacific Coast allowed me to reflect on where I’ve been and where I’m headed, both on the map and in life.”
Why This Book Matters Now
We live in an age of reinvention. People are leaving careers, starting over, reassessing what it means to live well. Middle Miles is for everyone in the process of reinvention.
This book isn’t a declaration – it’s a conversation. With the road. With time. With the quiet voice inside. Mortensen doesn’t have answers. What he has is a willingness reflect with brutal honesty on what happens when we step away from the noise long enough to actually hear ourselves think.
