Add another ebook site to the list...

Have you ever heard of Kobo? Me neither...until recently.

Kobo is a retailer of ebooks, and guess who is now on their site? 


My book can be seen here.

In about  one week, Monkey Business should also be available in the iBooks store, Barnes & Noble, and academic catalogs like Baker & Taylor and Library Direct from Smashwords, in addition to the paperback copy on Amazon!

Monkey Business for iBooks!

Good news - after some fussing and much learning, I have managed to get a perfect copy of Monkey Business: A History of Nonhuman Primate Rights available for sale for iBooks. I worked with a website called Smashwords, which also distributes my title in other formats for Palm and Sony devices and HTML for online reading.

For all you iBook fans (I am one myself), you can purchase Monkey Business or view a sample by clicking here. You'll see you will need to specify which format you want, but it is very simple to purchase the book.

More good news - a few days ago the book was in the top five Kindle downloads in the category of Apes & Monkeys. This makes me very, very happy.

And because many people are asking me...the paperback will be available soon. As soon as I can humanly make it available, in all honesty. I will shout it from the mountaintops as soon as this occurs.

In the meantime, thank you for stopping by, and I hope to see you again soon.

Rankings, and the paperback's coming!

Hello everyone. I've been really touched by the messages of support and encouragement as people have heard about Monkey Business being available as a Kindle download. Thank you all!

Just wanted to share a few exciting tidbits:

First of all - I've received the paperback proof of my book, and it needed a few tweaks. I'm revising some spacing issues, and should be done in a few days. I would love nothing more than to sit down and bang this out in a day, but I'm working around my part-time day job and my one-year-old toddler's nap times. Take what you can get, I suppose! I'll order another proof to make sure the book is perfect, and then I will quickly alert the world that Monkey Business is ready for purchase as a paperback.

In the meantime, Monkey Business is currently ranked #7 for Amazon Kindle downloads in the "Apes & Monkeys" category. We're right behind the esteemed Jane Goodall, and beating out well known books like Nim Chimpsky: The Chimp Who Would Be Human and another by famous primatologist Duane Rumbaugh! 

If anyone would care to write an objective review, it would be much appreciated...

Happy reading!
