As per our regularly scheduled Wednesday update, I’d like to take this opportunity to bring some attention to another currently funding book on Inkshares. This time, I’d like to shine the spotlight on James Rasile’s genre-blending sci-fi thriller, Cape’s Side Bay.
This is actually the second time I’ve used an author’s update to single out this project; way back when it was just a few orders away from the Quill goal, I felt it deserved a little extra push to get past that 250 pre-orders mark. Well, it’s soared all the way to the 425 pre-order mark now, and it absolutely deserves every last one of them. This book blends Lovecraftian horror with ancient mythology, mysterious thrills with cosmic existentialism, all wrapped up in a story that takes place over a single holiday weekend, where the events that strike the heart of a single, simple town will threaten to shatter every certainty humanity ever had about its place in the universe.
Give this book a pre-order. I’m all but literally counting down the days until I can get my hands on a copy of this phenomenal book. If you like what you’ve seen of Tantalus Depths so far, you will almost certainly find Cape’s Side Bay just as much to your liking, if not more so.
Hello Knightmares!



We’ve hit another milestone today! Can you guess what it is?

That’s right! Tantalus Depths has just passed 300 pre-orders! As promised, I’m going to be making my original short story, The Perspective Machine, available for free to everyone for a short time. From June 18 to June 22nd, anyone will be able to download it for free off Amazon, already formatted nicely for your e-reader. Click the pretty cover image below to go check it out!

I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please give it a nice little rating over there on Amazon, and feel free to tell your family and friends to pick up a copy for themselves. And definitely don’t stop sharing Tantalus Depths! We’re getting close to the halfway mark, but there are only two months left in Tantalus Depths’s campaign, so we need all the support we can get!
Lots of great news!
The Seventh Aspect is now an Inkshares staff pick! It’s also received a recommendation from none other than our fearless leader, and Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas! (I certainly didn’t see that one coming). To say I am humbled and grateful is an understatement.
I’d just finished another big round of edits on the posted chapters right before he sent his recommendation. So keeping your drafts updated and improved pays, folks. You never know who is lurking.
In honor of this fun occasion:
1. I have a long professional history in showbiz, so I’m a sucker for dream casts. I’ve decided to share my dream cast for the main characters in chapters 1 and 2. Here’s the kicker: I’m not posting their character names. So that means you’ll have to read to figure out who’s who.

2. There’s a reference to an infamous 70’s horror film in chapter 1. Our main extraterrestrial character has a thing for human sci-fi and horror media. So bonus points if you catch it and know what it is. It’s funny, I promise. Similar funky references will be sprinkled throughout the story.
Two more chapters are on the way. You’ll get to meet more of our alien researchers, and maybe even travel to another dimension. Mmmm....dimensions....
As always, if you like what you read, please leave a comment or review. Thanks so much again for your interest. It means a lot.
Stay tuned…
