The Inner Triathlete : Forever ablaze
(2007)
A collection of multisport articles, interviews, and short stories that speak to the human side of the sport of triathlon and to the spirit of the triathlete. These pieces were all previously published by the author in different periodicals over a few years but have been brought together to serve as a dedication to the life, memory, and mission of Jon "Blazeman" Blais. Jon won the hearts of millions in 2005 when he became the first patient with Lou Gehrig's disease to cross the finish line of the Ironman Triathlon World Championship. In May, 2007, Jon lost his battle with ALS, but his war carries on through The Blazeman Foundation. Author, Stephen Brown encapsulates many of his multisport experiences which began back in 1987 and a portion of all book proceeds benefit The Blazeman Foundation and their continuous fight against ALS. Foreword written by Bob Mina. Visit for more on Steve Brown and for more on Bob Mina.
In Search of Center
(2010)
The author is a lifelong endurance sports enthusiast, triathlon coach, husband, father, and leukemia survivor. What lies ahead are a few of his thoughts on life, on health, on sport, and on some of the amazing people who have reached and touched him along the way. The title “In Search of Center” stems from an email from a friend begging the question, “How can I find my center if I don’t visit my edges?” Those words have stuck with Brown, and they remind him that perhaps writing also gives him an opportunity to both visit the edges and find his own center. Foreword written by Ethan Zohn.
Relentless Mettle - My Cancer, My Rules
(2014)
This collection is the intersection of the author’s experiences living with a chronic form of leukemia, his triathlon and multisport lifestyle, and his overall passion for living life to the fullest. Brown walks his readers through his initial diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy treatments through the years. Also included are chapters as told by Brown's wife and two daughters. In the words of Steve Brown, “I made a very early decision and commitment to live this story quite publicly. I wanted to be a voice, and I wanted to lead by example. As a result, I have been able to connect with so many fellow cancer warriors and their families. I feel safety in our numbers. And I feel strength in our resolve. I want patients and their families to take comfort in reading these pages, and I hope they resonate hope and possibility”. Foreword written by 6-time Ironman World Champion and long-time Leukemia & Lymphoma Society supporter Dave Scott.
