Michael Haase liked an update for Space Tripping

Hello all you wonderful people who helped make my dream come true!

Seriously though, I can’t find the words to express how much I appreciate your support. "Thank you" just does not do justice to how grateful I am. 

I figured it was time to drop you all a line to let you know where things stand. We are currently in the midst of the editing & design phase. I can’t say enough nice things about the folks over at Inkshares. They have been tremendous at every step of this process. 

I’m working with their editing teams in order to spit-shine Space Tripping into the glorious pile of silly misadventure and immature humor that it is. They’ve also brought in a designer to create some gorgeous art for the final book cover. The editing/design phase should take us through the summer. After that, the Inkshares sales people take Space Tripping to market in the hopes of securing shelf space in as many bookstores as possible. 

When it’s all said and done, you should expect to receive your copy of Space Tripping around the new year. I know this seems like a long time... trust me, no one wants this book to be out in the world asap more than me... but I have to hand it to the people at Inkshares. They do things the right way. 

In the mean time, if you read the first chapter and you’re just dying to know how it is a drunken alien pilot crashed on Earth in the first place, you can click on the link below to read a short story prequel:

Jopp’s Folly


Alright, that’s all for me tonight.

Cheers

    It’s got to be something hard: Judas Priest, Megadeth, or someone similar.

        Michael Haase liked an update for Monkey Business

         

        There it is folks. An actual physical copy of Monkey Business sitting on my actual physical counter top. 261 copies are somewhere in the clutches of UPS right now on their way back to Inkshares HQ where those hard working folks will open them up and ship them to all of you who were good enough to back this project.

        I’m so happy and proud to be the first book published under the Quill Imprint of Inkshares, especially given the many and great looking books that are soon to follow. I don’t mean to overstate but it feels like an honor and I hope the book can live up.

        You should have all received your ebook files. Whether you intend to enjoy Monkey Business on your favorite eReading device or wait until actual paper is in your hands, I just hope you do enjoy it. I hope it makes you laugh. I hope it makes you glad you invested some of your hard earned dollars. If you do enjoy it you could do one more thing for me that is of vital importance. 

        Please leave a review on Amazon by clicking here!

        As many of my fellow authors have pointed out Amazon reviews are very important to gaining visibility and growing audience. And all that marketing stuff.

        So please, please, please take a moment to leave a review. Please enjoy the book. Thank you for all of your support and I’ll keep you posted as I’m hoping to do a few interviews, giveaways and other promotional stuff in the future.

        One last thing. I think the next Quill novel to be released is going to be Jason Pomerance’s Women Like Us. So please go check that book out. Jason is a hell of a nice guy and happens to be a pretty damn good writer!

        That’s all for now. I’ll write you guys more later and ask for more favors.

        - Landon

          DAX FANS!

          I’ll make this quick. As always, apologies for my lengthy radio silence. Rest assured, I’m hard at work. I have received some amazing feedback from my test readers so far. The book definitely needs a little bit of work, but overall, the response is SUPER POSITIVE!

          I am ridiculously excited. First off, I’m overjoyed that people are liking this silly little book at all. Some of my favorite moments from the story have been met with equally giddy enthusiasm, and that blows me away! Also, I am incredibly grateful to have some honest feedback regarding the parts that could be improved. I am now on the path to make this story better than I thought possible.

          THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all again for your patience. I want you to have this book in your hands YESTERDAY, but I have a bit more work to do before that happens.

          TO THE WRITING CAVE! AWAAAY!

          Oh wait, one more thing! This is going to feel like bragging, but...


          An Inkshares Staff Pick?! When did that happen? Did I get the memo? In any case, that’s kinda awesome. I guess I better go make it worth the wait!

          -Tony :)
