Evan Graham liked an update for Cape’s Side Bay

Hello Cape’s Side Bayers!

 Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

 Yesterday I was greeted with some wonderful news! Cape’s Side Bay has been selected for the GREAT SCI FI syndicate pick for August! It always means a lot when your fellow authors, and people you respect, support your work, and believe in what you are doing. A big BIG thank you to the Great Sci Fi Syndicate, you’ve given me and Cape’s Side Bay a huge boost, and I am extremely grateful! I’ve attached below the reasoning and the shiny new button you can see on Cape’s Side Bay’s main page!

Also, if you are into science fiction I definitely recommend you check out this syndicate! Matthew Isaac Sobin does a great job as the head of it, he finds fantastic science fiction books each month, and it was a pleasant surprise when he informed me that Cape’s Side Bay would be August’s selection.

Just over 100 orders to go! The home stretch continues. 

Please, as always, recommend, share, and order! Cape’s Side Bay is oh so close to becoming a reality. Let’s get it there!

All the best,

James

    Time to get back into the story updates! This time we’re going to highlight a crucial tool for setting up any mining survey expedition on an unexplored planet: the Dawson core sample extractor!
     

    It’s meant as a simple tool to gather samples of Tantalus 13’s rock strata for Becky Traviss to analyze. But with a heavy industrial laser powerful enough to disintegrate rock in seconds, might it find itself used in a more destructive capacity? Will the Dawson prove to be a useful tool for survival on Tantalus 13, or yet another deadly threat to be survived? Find out when you pre-order Tantalus Depths!

      From nightmares to a whole new world. Jade finds herself unable to even tell who, or what, she is. Lost in a maze of lies and deceit, and trapped in a world of magic and fantasy, she must learn things about herself she didn’t even know could exist.
      Evan Graham liked the forum thread, Looking for feedback? Join Critshares!
      Lots of folks have been soliciting feedback on the forums for a few weeks now. As an Inkshares Drafter myself, I know firsthand how hard it can be to get feedback here. So I decided to do something about it!


      Critshares is a private group I’ve created on the online critiquing community Scribophile. Critshares was created to address the needs of Inkshares writers looking for detailed feedback on their work. The goal of this group is to help Inkshares authors put their ‘best foot forward’ in order to increase their chances of funding success. 

      WHAT IS SCRIBOPHILE?
      Scribophile is an active, online social writing workshop and writer’s community. It’s an incredible way to get detailed feedback on your writing, learn how to critique, make friends, and build an audience. The site also contains forums, public groups, and contests. I cannot stress enough how great it is, especially for new writers. And it’s free! FAQs here.

      HOW IT WORKS
      Scribophile works on a ‘credit’ system, where you earn credits to post your own work by providing critiques on the work others have posted.

      Critiquing earns you “Karma Points” (the site’s system of currency) which you use to pay for submitting. Once you’ve accumulated 5 karma points, you can post a work on the site. Each work ‘costs’ 5 points.

      Upon posting your first chapter, your work will go into the public ‘New Member Spotlight’ to help you get noticed and get your first critiques. Your work is guaranteed to receive 3 critiques from the community-at-large before leaving the spotlight. Critshares members are also guaranteed an additional critique from a group member once their work leaves the spotlight. 

      Typically, it takes 2-3 critiques to get enough Karma to submit. You get more Karma the more detailed your critique. This is quite easy to earn, but…

      NEW MEMBER BONUS KARMA!
      As an inaugural bonus, I’ll be gifting 1 Karma point (from my own Karma pool) to the first 5 new group members who join after the posting of this announcement and complete one critique. Scribophile gives you 2 points right away when you sign up. So you’ll be that much closer to posting your work and getting critiques!

      MEMBERSHIP
      Scribophile is free to join and use. There is a premium option which gives you access to additional features. Premium members also get a discount on a Scrivener license! 

      HOW DO I JOIN?
      1. Sign up for your free account. https://www.scribophile.com/join
      2. Go to my profile page: http://www.scribophile.com/authors/p-h-james
      3. Use the ‘send me a message’ link beneath my profile picture to request an invite to the group. You can also send me a PM here once you’ve created your Scribophile account.

      PLEASE NOTE: You have to sign up for your free account before you will be able to see any content or group pages on the site.  

      So if you’re serious about getting feedback and improving your work, come join the party!  Please feel free to PM me with questions, or post them here.
      Big shout out to @Billy O’Keefe for the logo, and @alex maher for referring me to Scribophile.

        I can’t believe I almost forgot to link this! Check out my interview with Regina McMenomy about Tantalus Depths! She was gracious enough to take time out of her schedule to show support for my campaign, so please show her and her book, Mothering: The Game some support as well. She’s made a great deal of progress and she worked her butt off during the Nerdist competition, and I’m eager to see her reach the Quill mark.
         

        Please note that we recorded this last week, well before the insanity with all the invalid pre-orders in my campaign came to light. It’s only relevant insofar as the number of pre-orders I still need and the time I have left to get them aren’t accurate to what we talk about in the video.

        Also, a further update on that point: Inkshares has generously increased my campaign’s extension from 30 days to 60, to ensure I have enough time to recover and finish the campaign. I don’t plan on needing 60 days, but I have them in case I do.

          Tantalus Depths is not only a well plotted science fiction thriller, but it has been meticulously planned out, its technology and characters fully realized. The characters are relateable and their individual stories play out subtly in the same way you might imagine the Ridley Scott classic, "Alien" would, if it was properly novelized.
