It’s the FINAL COUNTDOWN  (cue musical number)!!!

I’m working on a final polish for my piece and I’ll be posting a synopsis for one highly populous race in the world of Borehole Bazaar each day as a last, final bid to generate extra momentum.  I’ve already funded, so this is just for encouraging folks who would LOVE to get a copy of this work.  It’s a fascinating, engaging read.  I promise ;)

To get things started, allow me to post a link for the first two.  These can also be found at the beginning of each of the first five chapters, though this is a cleaner format without that pesky story separating them!

Bugbears

Normally, I’d post my weekly short story.  This week, however, the tale was not cute enough.  Hopefully, Inspiration will bite me and I’ll be able to get one out to y’all tomorrow or Thursday!  

OH!  The short story collections are all finished.  They are, of course, each uniquely hand-painted by myself.  There was an issue with the bindings but they should be hitting the mail in a few days at the most.  To all the raffle winners; I’m working as fast as I can!

Have a great day y’all and know, without even an iota of doubt, that your dreams are worth chasing.  Thanks for being AWESOME!!!

It’s the beginning of the end...
 

Tantalus Depths is now only 100 pre-orders away from the full publishing goal. We need 50 pre-orders a week, or about seven a day, to get there.
If there is anything left you can do to help get us there, now is the time to show your hand. If there’s anyone left you haven’t talked to about it, talk to them. If you haven’t ordered a copy yet, order one. If you have ordered one, consider ordering another copy for a friend.
Anything you can do will absolutely mean the world to me.
But mark my words, Tantalus Depths will get there. If I have to pull my bloody carcass across that finish line on my own, I’ll do it. We’ve come way too far to settle for anything less than total victory.

Just a quick update to let you all know that I am still working quite hard on Mr. Butler. I enrolled in Camp NaNoWriMo for July and set a goal of writing 70,000 words for the book in 31 days...and I did it in 30:

All 70,024 (and counting!) words were written for Butler. Every day I’m working to make this the best damn book I can make it. 

Just thought you, my wonderful investors, my support system, and most importantly, my friends, should know that I am giving this project every single spare moment I have. I’m still aiming for a September manuscript submission. I will keep you updated!

Thanks for hanging in there!

Love to all.

-Michael.

Story Update:
Any fan or creator of good science fiction will tell you a ship is as much a character as a location. The same rings true for Tantalus Depths. It is with great pleasure that I present you with the vessel responsible for bringing our crew to Tantalus 13...and their only hope of escaping it...
 

It’s been their home for half a year. It’s been a reliable ship, and Mary’s piloted it skillfully. But when things become disastrous on Tantalus 13, she and the crew be able to escape in time? Can there be any escape at all from the terrors within Tantalus 13?
Find out, when you order Tantalus Depths...
