Story Update!
The crew of The Diamelen are bringing a lot of state-of-the-art equipment on their survey mission to Tantalus 13, but nothing comes anywhere close to matching the sheer awe-inspiring power of Attila, their relativistic directed-energy drill.
Firing a beam described as "the concentrated wrath of God," this monster is powerful enough to literally carve planets to pieces.

Why did Exotech send such a powerful device to what was supposed to be a relatively low-profile survey mission? Can this drill do more than merely clear the way for the crew’s exploration into the depths of Tantalus 13? Or does it have a secret purpose even the crew doesn’t know?
You know the drill (sorry, couldn’t resist). Pre-order Tantalus Depths and share with all your friends!
Greetings Destiny-followers,
It’s rubber-meets-the road time. The bottom of the ninth. Time to call for a Hail Mary. But I know you all want to dig deep. Give a 110%. And leave it all out there.
But seriously, your support from the beginning has been fantastic. I couldn’t have done it without you. Destiny Imperfect currently sits in fifth position. We’re 16 orders off third place and we have the chance to get into the top three (and get all the yummy publishing treats that entails). There are now only 10 days left in the contest. And 10 days can pass very quickly! So you can see where this is going …
To make Destiny Imperfect a success, I not only have to have to talk to people outside Inkshares, I also need to enlist your help. If you’ve already pre-ordered, think of one person who’d like to support an up-and-coming project. Sit them down in front of a computer, fire up Inkshares and explain that they have the opportunity to take part in a paradigm shifting experience. And then get them to pre-order!
If you haven’t pre-ordered, then I’d love you to take a look at chapter one and, if it’s something you like, hit pre-order as well. You’re all crucial to this crowd-funding experience, and I’d love us to move forward together!
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Peter
Hello,
Check out the pre-order stats provided by Inkshares for SQUIDS IN:

As you can see, the rate of funding has flattened off as we approach the end of the Nerdist video-game contest. By keeping a close eye on the leaderboard (I swear my F5 key is going to break due to all the double-tapping) I can see that this is apparently also true for a lot of the other entries in the contest too. The quiet before the storm perhaps?
If the contest ends as is, I would of course be slightly disappointed not to have made it into the top 3 but I would be supremely chuffed with how the contest has gone. I never thought that my silly book about a video-game playing octopus would receive this much support from within the Inkshares community and honestly, you guys make up like 50% of my pre-orders, so thank you for making me feel so welcome here!
In return, I have decided to give something back to the community by starting up a new syndicate called "Why So Serious" which will focus purely on funny, humour filled books to make us all smile and laugh in these dark and desperate times.

Feel free to join the syndicate and help us to decide the first book we should back.
