Irish Publisher Forced to Launch Novel Early. Writer states, "Dolphin Song was supposed to be an Autumn Read. Now it's a Beach Read!"
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Dateline: Beara Peninsula, County Cork, Ireland, Aug 9 2021)
Astronomers at Ireland's Dunsink Observatory today announced a startling discovery. Due to an unanticipated, rapid shift in the Earth's axis, the annual equinox is occurring approximately 6 weeks earlier than scheduled.
As most people know, the equinox is the instant in time when the plane of our planet's equator passes through the geometric center of the Sun's disk. Occurring twice each year, daytime and nighttime hours are approximately the same all over the planet.
Dunsink's operational director, Professor Jake McSky, stated: "Einstein is turning in his grave because this proves the end to the theory of relativity. Astronomers and physicists all over the world will have to tear up past astronomical assumptions."
Forced Early Launch of New Novel
The managing director of Storylines Entertainment Ltd, an Irish media company, explained that the Earth's wobble caught the publisher by complete surprise, which disrupted months of planning.
"The brilliant new novel, Dolphin Song by Tom Richards, was scheduled for release on 21 September of this year - on the day of the equinox because that day is unique (as is Tom's book)," she stated. "However, because the equinox has shifted, we have been forced to bring forward the release date to today, 9 August 2021.
"The Kindle eBook edition, scheduled for September release, has been moved forward, too. This version will be published in two-day's time. As we have updated the Amazon page, you may find it a bit 'clunky'. However, you can pre-order now and the eBook will be delivered to you ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."
Introductory Price Remains at $1.49
This reporter asked the Storylines Entertainment MD if the current presales price of the Kindle edition would be maintained.
"That's what we promised our customers and we keep our word!" she re-iterated. "The $1.49 presales price will be maintained until 20 September. After that, it will revert to the RSP of almost five bucks. We stand by our promises."
(Later, the executive was caught on a hot-mic, griping: "Lord only knows how much this will cost the company. Heads will roll like it was the Siege of Wexford!")
Author Grouses About Scheduling Change
When contacted by this reporter, novelist Richards was at a loss for words.
"I don't know what to tell you," he gasped. "We've worked so hard to stay on schedule. Dolphin Song was supposed to be an Autumn read. You know...one of those 'I'll cozy up to the fireplace and enjoy a little Irish romantic fantasy' sort of books. But now it's a Beach Read? Unbelievable!"
Should readers have questions, they might want to contact the author on his new website: www.tomrichards.ie, which is about to go live. "At least that's still on schedule", the author whined.
