An exciting day in any author’s life: the day a box of final copies of your books arrive!

And I’m absolutely thrilled with the cover — a luminous and iridescent blue that shimmers and shines — and highlights the launch of Apollo 11, 50 years ago. And I hope everyone loves the pages inside, too!

“Eight Years to the Moon: The History of the Apollo Missions” comes out July 2. I’ll be posting soon about some exciting events taking place in conjunction with the release of the book.

Thanks to everyone at Page Street Publishing for making this beautiful book happen — especially my editor Lauren Knowles.
