Books Delayed: Author's Life Threatened During Surgery; Failed Knee Implant Discovered
Well known author Dick C. suffers severe medical setback due to failure of a knee implant. All 2005 books have been delayed as a result of this incident.
Rolla, MO (PRWEB) March 18, 2005
R&R Publishing Inc., of Rolla, Mo., has announced that the 2005 books due to be published in the first quarter of this year by well known author, Dick C. have been indefinitely delayed.
R&R Publishing has exclusive publishing rights to all works of Dick C. All of the Dick C. works are available at many retail and e-commerce sites. Previously, R&R has published the completed trilogy, “Headlong Through Life,” “Return To Sanity,” and “The Shark Tank.”
The trilogy was so well received that the author, Dick C., was asked by popular demand to carry forth with the story. The books that were scheduled for release in 2005 were, “Roadmap for the ACOA,” “The Next Piece,” and “The Bureau of Prisons.” All of the books are complete in manuscript status but will require final edits and author’s alterations.
In January of this year, author Dick C. was hospitalized on an emergency basis due to a staph infection in his knee. During emergency surgery that was performed, it was discovered that the knee implant prosthesis in his leg had actually failed. The device had broken in half due to a manufacturing flaw, he said.
Wright Medical Technology Inc. of Arlington, Tenn., has confirmed that it manufactured the device, he said. The company is believed to be the third largest manufacturer of these type devices in the world, he said.
Dick C. continues to receive medical treatment for this very serious and life threatening disease. The attending physicians indicate that it is expected that Dick C. will eventually recover from this matter. Full recovery is not expected until late in 2005 or early 2006.
R&R Publishing stated that all of the books scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2005 have been placed on hold pending the eventual recovery of the author. The author has been required to receive daily treatments for his condition and simply could not devote the effort required to complete the project at this time. Both R&R Publishing and Dick C. regret this unfortunate delay.
Dick C. asked that R&R Publishing assure his readers that he will recover from this very serious and unfortunate incident. He will complete the project for publication as soon as his health permits.
On a personal note, the author, Dick C., asked the publisher to thank all of his readers for the well wishes, cards, and e-mails supporting his recovery.
