The Astronaut Instruction Manual IS ARRIVING

The AIM hits shelves in bookstaores nationwide next week. Of course, our backers are already posting photos of themselves with their copies arriving directly from Inkshares!

The Astronaut Instruction Manual shipped out this past week and you our backers are posting photos with the book. What a great idea!

(Hashtags I use are #TheAIM and #STEM.)

Seeing these books with the happy faces of their new owners being posted is an unexpected treat. Thank you, supporters and backers! It has been a year since we started this process, and I and the entire team at Inkshares–hello, Thad, Adam, Emma, Jeremy, Tess, Kim, Avalon, & Matt (not to forget the team members at book designers MacFadden & Thorpe)–and the amount of blood sweat and tears…plus loads of smiles and laughter…has been monumental. That is, The Astronaut Instruction Manual stands as a testament to the very words I share everyday with young students in classrooms: "Team Work makes the Dream Work."

Check your mailbox. The AIM is arriving. And thanks for posting the photos of books and smiling faces. We put our hearts and soul in this. Seeing the smiles makes it all worthwhile!

Mike Mongo's Astronaut Instruction Manual is launching!

The above photo arrived in an email last night from the team at Inkshares. Newly-unboxed from the printers, The Astronaut Instruction Manual has arrived.

Better yet, as pictured above, it is immediately being readied for immediate distribution to backers and buyers–The AIM is on it's way to your [confirmed mailing address] now! As my people say, yes!

I tweeted out two sentences that kind of says it all: “I am a published author. My first book has arrived from printer to my publisher.” 

Look for your copy in the mail this week! And once again, thank you. We would not be here today with you. Thank you supporters, backers, friends, and family. (And of course the whole entire team at Inkshares–you all are family too!)

When The Astronaut Instruction Manual arrives, be sure and drop me a note or, even better, a photo of you with your new book. It's my first! And it's on it's way to you!

Tomorrows jobs are in space,
