You know, I’m not the only person who stands to benefit from everyone helping to get my book funded.

If you order a copy, you’ll be able to say you helped launch an author’s entire career. When you’re walking around the mall and you see my book sitting in a bookstore window, you can point at it and say "I helped put that there."

When the movie rights get sold, and Tantalus Depths becomes the big summer blockbuster, you can go see it on the big screen and say "This movie exists because of me." Every book I ever write and get published will only have a chance at success because this one did, so 20 years from now, when my twelfth novel hits the shelves, you can say you helped get that one published too. You wouldn’t be wrong.

Remember: whoever refers the most people to order a copy of Tantalus Depths by the end of its campaign will be immortalized by having a planet named after them. So get out there and bring as many family members and friends as you can to help bring us to our goal.

If just half the people who have already ordered copies of Tantalus Depths were to get just one friend each to do the same, we’d hit our goal instantly. As always, this story can only be told with your help.

20 days left. 164 orders still needed. Let’s do this together.
