"A lot of people when they try this they kind of assume parts of it will take care of themselves. They don’t. You have to pretty much count on manually finding all 250 or 750 pre-orders, yourself, individually. And you have to work for every single one of them.”
Them be wise words, shared by author of Tantalus Depths, @Evan Graham. Evan managed to overcome a number of setbacks throughout his crowdfunding period, including the credit system debacle (before my time, but Evan does a good job of summarizing what went wrong ~3:00 minutes in).
Evan’s determination is inspirational and humbling. I continue to be blown away by how tough as nails this community is, and by how willing everyone is to share what are some of our most vulnerable moments.
Thank you for taking the time, Evan!
Stay tuned to hear from @Ferd Crôtte and @Jason Pomerance who have stuck with this project despite a lion’s share of technical difficulties, and finally @Rick Heinz(PS - I will be in touch this week!)
Sequel to It’s All Fun and Games, in which the friends continue their quest and meet some new allies on the way. If you liked Book 1, you’ll like this one too!
The setting is well crafted. The pacing is engaging. I like the twist on A Comedy of Errors. If you like books like An Ember in the Ashes, you will probably enjoy this one.
