Remotely Here
REMOTELY HERE
My historical memoir was published this week. The team that turned the manuscript into the book was excellent. We worked well together, although we never met. All our communication was by email. I was in San Francisco, the structural editor was in Berkeley, the third proofreader in Wisconsin, the cover designer in Brooklyn, and the designer and composer of the pages in Astoria, New York. I reviewed the work onscreen, never saw it on paper until I held the proof copy in my hand: Flight: A Memoir of Loss and Discovery by an Aviator’s Daughter. I am the publisher as well as the author.

On December 24, 1968, Christmas Eve, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Boman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders became the first humans to see the Earth rising above the moon's barren surface. This photograph, Earthrise, revealed the beauty and fragility of our planet, glowing blue and white, alone amid endless darkness.
