Story Update:
The crew of The Diamelen is equipped with all manner of sophisticated mining equipment on their mission to Tantalus 13. One such piece of equipment is the EM probe deployment gun. It gives them the ability to see detailed three-dimensional images of the composition of the rock beneath them. On a mysterious world like Tantalus 13, these probe guns will give the crew their first glance at what lies below...and may need to see a less conventional use later on...

The crew are well-equipped, but is it enough for the dangers that await them? Find out when you place your pre-order for Tantalus Depths today!
First of all, a hearty welcome bear-hug to all new readers and followers! I am really glad you are part of the Mission 51 family!
Calling all friends and fans! I would like Mission 51 to reach 125 pre-orders by the end of the week. That’s just 15 more than what we have now! For those of you who have already pre-ordered, thank you, and perhaps you can encourage a friend or two to do the same. That would really help!
For those who have yet to order, this is the time! There are only 52 more days to reach the 250 pre-order requirement, and time is flying!
If you are an Inkshares author, contact me for a pre-order swap.
Please share this link with family and friends! We must reach 250 pre-orders. - To quote myself (in the Preface): "The story must be told." :-)

Thank you, everyone, for your amazing support! :-)
Peace!
Ferd. :-)
Tantalus Depths is only 6 away from 300 pre-orders! As I’ve said, once I reach that number, I’m going to make my original short story, The Perspecive Machine, temporarily free for download to all, as a way to say thanks.

Let’s hit that goal asap, so I can give you all this thank you gift :)
Good morning Dreamers!
I hope everyone is well, I hope everyone is safe, and I hope my friend recovered from being attacked by a pack of wild dogs he thought he saw (he was... extra sober). We have officially hit the one month mark and are sitting at 193 pre-orders! I tell you what I’m going to do about it, as I’m currently fist pumping and typing one -handed, which is taking forever. I am going to release a chapter at pre-order 200.
The second bit of news is that I’m partnering with S. J. McCune of Millicent Barnes Comics for some artwork. I’ve followed his for some time off kickstarter, bought some amazing artwork which is now framed on my walls, and could not recommend in independent artist more highly. Check his work out at millicentbarnescomics.jimdo.com or comixology under the name.
Thank you again for your support and let’s get these last pre-orders for Quill!
Sweet Dreams,
Stephen
Greetings Destiny-followers,
I just got my first podcast mention! JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of WriteBrain fame have a chat about the Inkshares/Nerdist contest in general, their awesome book in particular (one that I have pre-ordered), as well as giving honorable mentions to Destiny Imperfect and another top read (and my closet competitor), SideScroller (a book I have also pre-ordered). Go and have a listen to their podcast!
And, if you haven’t already, take a look at Destiny Imperfect and see if it’s something you could pre-order. I could do with the help!
Cheers,
Peter
Week 4 Update!
