    WE’RE ONLY 4 PRE-ORDERS AWAY!!! :D :D :D

    Here is the concept art for our characters "Cade" and "Torque". They were both Lambda operatives stationed aboard the evil United Planets of Earth ship - Enigma.

      Brian Fitzpatrick liked Tantalus Depths
      Well, Geek and Sundry’s Hard Science Fiction competition has come to an end. It’s a tremendous honor to have been able to come in fifth place in the running, especially after getting such a late start and a slow build at the beginning. I’d like to give a heartfelt congratulations to the winners: Tal Klein, author of The Punch Escrow, Brian Guthrie, author of After Man, and Erin S. Evan, author of The Pirates of Montana. All three of them deserve every pre-sell they have gained. They’ve worked hard, built a huge following from the ground up, and most importantly, they’ve all told brilliant stories. I heartily recommend following them all.
      I’d also like to give a shout out to Ronald D. Vale, author of We Clocked the T-Rex, for coming in fourth place (although if the contest had lasted a few more hours, I totally would have passed him. Just saying :P). I understand he’s suspending his own campaign, but his book also looks absolutely fascinating. Follow him, and please give him support when he inevitably decides to give it another go!
      So what does this mean for Tantalus Depths, not winning the competition?
      Absolutely nothing.
      I knew from the very beginning I had about zero chance of winning it. I didn’t even start my campaign until the contest had already been running for three weeks! Therefore, I was never banking on a win. Sure, it would have been nice to catch some unexpected windfall and take the lead, defying all odds. But a wise man never depends on chance, and I’m only a fool on weekends.
      The work really begins now. We have 91 days to get Tantalus Depths to 750 pre-orders. We’re getting those pre-orders.
      If I have to print out posters and put them in every shop window in my entire state by hand, I will. If I have to beg for coverage from every book blog on the internet, I will. If I have to take out a loan just to buy enough books to do enough author-swaps to reach goal, I will. I’ll allow for no obstacles. Tantalus Depths is, above all, a story about one lone person overcoming unspeakable odds to come out of the experience victorious, and if I can’t hold myself to the same standards that my main character embodies, I’m no author at all.
      I may not sleep until August 16th, but so be it. I perceive a need.
      Keep following, keep spreading the word. You’re all a part of this. We will descent into the Depths together, and we will come out the other side.
      To the Depths!

        We did it! The Punch Escrow is getting published!!

        I’m on a plane and my laptop battery is about to die, so I have to make this quick. You lot have done something which my wife would have heretofore deemed impossible: I am speechless. So, while I do a little happy dance to myself, I wanted to recognize a few people, and then we’ll get on to all the raffle winners and such tonight (alas, victory doesn’t afford me the ability to shrug off my job).

        Rachel Klein: I know it’s not easy being married to me. Thank you for putting up with my creative obsessions. I love you.

        Iris and Violet Klein: My two beautiful muses. You’re too young to understand, but you’ve given my life purpose.

        My extended family. Especially the Brown ladies, who are making me discuss my book at their book club at our next family reunion. Thankfully there are no sex scenes, although the protagonist does get naked once or twice. (’ey lord! Bless his soul!)

        My “staff” (+3 of great friendship, 20% savings throw bonus when asking others for favors) – These folks have gone above and beyond to assist me in various phases of the book. Without them, The Punch Escrow would not be: Peter Birdsall, John Hannon, Joe Santoro, Dave Sontag, Ian Ellison, Russ Mitchell, Dan Salinas, Ben Murphy (kindof), Ryan Potter, Meredith Peruzzi, Acar Altinsel, Robert Kroese

        My Inkshares “mental support” crew: James Rasile, Rick Heinz, Pat Edwards, Peter Bats, and my arch nemesis Brian Guthrie (who, despite the fact we were competitors, was always on hand to help me understand the Inkshares contest process, and teach me promotional tips and tricks).

        Micah Pegman - Won the shirt raffle this week!

        Our top 3 referrers in the past 96 hours (each gets a "teleporting" The Punch Escrow coffee mug):

        Pete Downing

        James Rasile

        Nicola Sarjeant

        Stay tuned for the MAJOR PRIZE announcement. Also, if any of you who participated in the Penguin Magic promotion have not gotten your Tarbell 51 code, please let me know, don’t bother the Inkshares or Penguin Magic support people.

        More soon!

        -Tal

          The Geek and Sundry Hard Science Contest is over and I want to send HIGH FIVES and "YEAH MAN!s" to winners Tal Klein for The Punch Escrow, Brian Guthrie for After Man, and Erin S. Evan for The Pirates of Montana. Each of you offered beautiful, polished work. You set a fine example and a high bar for the rest of us. A big congratulations from the bottom of my heart!

          I also want to thank Jeremy Thomas and the Inkshares team for organizing these contests. I see them as a win-win-win all the way around! We are truly fortunate to share this space with the likes of Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist and Felicia Day’s Geek and Sundry. These awesome people help open this platform to the movers and shakers of popular culture. I’m impressed!

          Peace to all!

          Ferd. :-)

            Deus Hex Machina was just chosen to be part of the illustrious Sword & Laser Collection here on Inkshares. I would write more about this, but I’m too busy shaking with gratitude.

            I am honored beyond words to stand amongst these great writers. Holy cow!
