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.
I’m going to have to change the word "race" to "slow, steady march" but the goal remains the same. 100 reviews or bust! We’re a quarter of the way there. Who’s with me?
Thanks monkeys!
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!
