Ba da duh duh...ba da duh duh duh...

Here we are, once again. Nine days left as of this moment, and...we’re pretty behind schedule.

Those are some scary numbers...

Is it possible? Technically yes. We just need to get, on average, sixteen orders a day. It can be done. I’ve brought in as many as 25 orders in one day before, in the earliest days of my campaign. I’ve blocked off a sizable chunk of next week to do absolutely nothing but campaign work. I very much want to finish this on time.

But I also have to be realistic. The odds are against finishing on time. I will not let my campaign end without reaching 750 orders, so if I must get an extension, I will. However, I’m goin gto try my absolute hardest to finish by the end of the current deadline, without needing another extension, and to that end, I’m offering yet another promotion:

If we succeed in funding Tantalus Depths by its current deadline, I will write an exclusive prologue, no fewer than 15 pages long, to accompany the book. This prologue won’t be a part of the book, but will instead be released as an additional sample chapter posted on Inkshares.
I have ideas for what I’d like to write, and I’d like to do this as one huge "thank you" to all of the loyal supporters that have helped get this campaign as far as it’s come. If we finish this on time, I will write the prologue and release it some time between sending Inkshares my manuscript and the end of the year. If we don’t make it on time and I have to apply for an extension again...the prologue will never exist.

Pre-order your copy. If you already have, bring in friends. You can even order a second or third copy if you feel generous (Inkshares allows you to purchase up to ten.)

We’ve been on our journey far too long. It’s high time we reach our destination among the stars.
