Release Date for My Upcoming book on NASA and Space Exploration

Since this is my first blog post on Goodreads, I'd like to introduce readers to my upcoming book, “Incredible Stories From Space: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Missions Changing Our View of the Cosmos.”

In the book, I have the opportunity to share the stories told to me by over 35 NASA scientists and engineers, stories that chronicle the struggles and triumphs of several robotic missions that are truly changing our understanding of the Solar System and beyond. I am honored and humbled to share their stories.

It's taken nearly a year of work, thousands of miles of travel, and numerous interviews in person, on the phone and via email.

I’m very grateful that I could travel to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Space Telescope Science Institute, Goddard Space Flight Center, and the Applied Physics Lab at Johns Hopkins University to see many of the “mission controls” for the spacecraft and see where all the action happens.

It is now a countdown of four weeks to the release of this, my first book, which will be on December 20, 2016!

This means that those of you in the western hemisphere can now pre-order the book and receive it in time for the holidays (links below!)

Those holidays include Winter Solstice, Festivus, Chanukah, Christmas, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, and of course National Fruitcake Day (December 27, in case you were wondering).

Find the book on:

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Incredible-Sto...

Just a little plug here, but Amazon and B&N are both having great sale prices on the book right now, so take advantage! The book is available in both paperback and on Kindle, as a Kindle etextbook, which give you more interactive options while you read.

For my friends in Europe, the release date will be January 9, 2017.

I’m so excited to be able to share the stories of over 35 NASA scientists and engineers to introduce more people to the plucky robots out there exploring the cosmos!
