\"A<\/p>\n

I have some good news and some bad news about my upcoming book, \u201cIncredible Stories From Space: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Missions Changing Our View of the Cosmos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The good news is that I received a box of the books, which is certainly an exciting moment in the life of anyone who has written a book!<\/p>\n

The bad news is, a problem was discovered. <\/strong><\/p>\n

During production, a \u201cvery rare\u201d (according to my publisher) font corruption problem occurred and it wasn\u2019t detected until after the book was printed.<\/p>\n

A note from Page Street<\/a>‘s editor-in-chief Will Kiester explains that what happened is a font got corrupted in the color reproduction phase. “However, we don’t as a matter of course reread the book by then (nor does any other publisher as far as I know),” he said. “It’s a rarity and not something expected. For example, this is the first time this has happened to me in my 25 year career.”<\/p>\n

Therefore, the books will need to be reprinted, which will delay the originally planned release date of November 15. As of yet, I don’t have a firm new date for the release, but I\u2019m trusting (hoping) that it will be sometime in December. I will definitely provide updates here and on social media.<\/p>\n

Murphy’s law? Nothing good ever comes easy? Feel free to leave me some good quotes\/positive thoughts!<\/p>\n

While this delay in my book \u2018launch\u2019 is certainly disappointing, I\u2019m hoping I can later look back on this as just a bump in the road, a hurdle to be crossed, just as many of the missions I wrote about in the book had to overcome obstacles to get launched to space.<\/p>\n

Thanks, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
