Happy Belated Pubday to Monkey Business!

Monkey Business is done. Available for buying. Available for reading. Available for loving. 

I will do a much better update tomorrow but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to support this book. Thank you to Inkshares. Thank you to Girl Friday Productions. Thank you to everyone who is getting this update. You’re all the best.

I have signed all your preorder copies and they should be getting to you in about two weeks (maybe sooner!) I was unable to think of a unique quote to write in every single book but I was able to write something different in a lot of them. As a consequence some of you are going to get some pretty weird shit in your books. I hope it makes it a little more special. Here’s one of my favorites:

One of you (and I have no way of knowing who it will be) is getting an actual 4-leaf clover in your book. Because I found one that day and thought it would be a nice gesture. So whoever you are, enjoy that. I hope it brings you luck.

I’ll write again this week with a proper update. Thank you. Hugs and Kisses from me and all those hairy little foul-mouthed monkeys you’ve helped support.

Hi Everyone!

Quick bit of exciting news - the file is off to the printer today.  There is no officially nothing to be done other than sit on my hands and wait for my babies to come back home.  The initial print run is going to be eight thousand copies.  So tell everyone you know to buy one too.  We need to move some inventory!

I’m also sitting on another exciting piece of news just waiting for final confirmation - look for another update in the next several days.

Cheers
Dave

Greetings Pirates!

Get your Babel fish ready because here’s an update on the manuscript, as well as my expected timeline! Hurray! Huzzah! Horatio! Horn blower?

As it stands, the book is mostly written. I say mostly, because it needs editing. First, my beta (a.k.a amazing-doing-it-during-their-spare-time) editors,  Mark and Tom, have sent me their edits which I’m incorporating.  I’m also rewriting some chapters to make them stronger, at least in my humble opinion. Those chapters will then be sent to my betas (they sound like groupies or aliens), who will then send me their edits.  It’s a process, as you imagine!

Once all of those edits are incorporated, the manuscript will be sent to Inkshares. My goal is August, but Inkshares is awesome and they’ve told me to take my time. However, I think I’m are in a good place and can make it so, as Picard would say. Famous last words?

Once its with Inkshares, their editors will have a crack at it, including a fact-checker from the Science and Entertainment Exchange. So cool!

So that is what I’m working on these days. I still can’t believe The Pirates of Montana won the Inkshares/Geek & Sundry Hard  Science Fiction contest. Its been a blurry week of self-congradulations alternating with the Pavlavian urge to check my stats in the contest.  

Excelsior everyone! Have a fantastic week! Here is your funny dinosaur meme!
