Good morning everybody! I know a lot of you are getting bombarded by folks trying to win the Nerdist contest, so I'll keep this short. For good old Monkey Business I think the Nerdist ship has sailed but do we fret? Nay! We move on towards our long term goal. 1,000 books by December 2nd. I think we can do it!
To that end I just wanted to let everybody know I posted PART 4 of Monkey Business. This is the section where the book really starts to pick up steam. And it keeps picking up from here on out. I hope you guys enjoy it! I would really appreciate any feedback you guys have. Or reviews, or favorite quotes. And as always, please help me spread the word!
In closing I want to say good luck to all our Nerdist Top Ten!
Thanks, Landon
Hi everybody! We made it to the Nerdist Contest Leaderboard! Currently sitting in 18th place out of 327 entries. That is amazing to me. I'm so grateful to you all. Considering Monkey Business entered the contest about 17 days late, I think we're doing great.
I just wanted to thank you all so much. I know it's a really long way to make the top 5 but maybe it's doable? I honestly don't know but I'm really happy just to see it in the top 20. It warms my heart. Or perhaps that's just indigestion from all this coffee. Who can say?
Anyway, thank you guys so much! I really cannot express how grateful I am.
So please keep spreading the word. Share to Inkshares, share to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, whatever and wherever it is that you connect with other humans, please tell them about Monkey Business and I will love you.

Howdy Everybody,
Just wanted to let everyone know I just uploaded another section of Monkey Business. You can now read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3! Go check out the new pages if you're interested and please, please, please spread the word if you're enjoying the book. We're almost to our first 100 pre-orders but I've got a long way to go. Thank you all so much for your support and interest.
Also tomorrow we will actually put up a video of me talking about the book like a normal human person instead of weird sock puppet music videos. So you can look forward to me being awkward on camera. I'm sorry in advance.
Thank you again, you're all the best,
Landon
Happy Sunday everybody,
I'm going to actually write a bit of an update today instead of just posting silly sock puppet videos. I wanted to take a moment and tell you guys about the Nerdist contest on Inkshares, why I entered it and where we are with the preorders. But it'll be quick, I promise.
The Nerdist contest on Inkshares is a contest for Fantasy or Science Fiction novels. Winners are determined by the unique number of readers who pre-order your book. That means, while I really, really, really appreciate some of you offering to buy more than one copy, it does not count towards the contest goal. In fact, if you buy a bunch of them it can actually disqualify me. So you have to talk other people into buying it. But you can do that, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.
The top five books will be published by Inkshares whether they have reached their (1,000) pre-order goal or not. From the top five, Nerdist.com will pick their favorite book and they will publish it, distribute it, promote it and make sweet love to it down by the fire. I want Monkey Business to be that book. It's partially because I think fans of Nerdist stuff will enjoy it and partially because I myself am a huge fan of Nerdist and just want to be associated with them in any way possible. It's a dream come true kind of situation.
So that's the deal. The contest ends on September 30th. As I'm writing this update, they 5th place book has about 330 pre-orders. So I've got a long way to go. I'll be putting up some more chapters, maybe some pull quotes and some more videos. If any or all of you enjoy what you've read so far and want to help spread the word, I will be eternally grateful!
Thank you all so much for following, ordering, supporting and just generally being cool peoples. Hope you have a good day!

How you doin'? Having a smooth weekend? Check out these sensual sounds from Monkey Business, then pre-order your copy today. New promo track to get you in the mood this weekend.
Only $9.99 baby, and that's pretty cheap!
Just wanted to send out another big thank you to everyone who has already helped support Monkey Business. Just threw up a promo track on my InkShares page. I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as the wife and I enjoyed making it. There are several more to come over the next two weeks. At some point I may even do an actual interview video like a normal, sane human person.
I know I'm blasting you all with a lot of MB communications but it's only for a couple more weeks. Thank you again for your order, please keep sharing and I'll keep trying to post idiotic content so you have new stuff to share.
Hugs and kisses,
Landon
Hi guys! We're in the closing hours of the Nerdist contest now. I just wanted to say good luck to all of you near the top. Very exciting stuff! If you haven't chosen one of the top contenders yet, you might want to do so now. It looks like the battle for fourth and fifth place will be a tough one.
I'm going to keep it short, end it there and conserve further marketing efforts until later in the week when the madness has ended. Good luck and good night!
