18 days of funding left and we seem to be stalled at 162 pre-orders, which is not really close to the 250 required for publication by Inkshares. But I am not going to worry too much about that. My plan is to keep refining the Mission 51 manuscript, which I think is already a riot (of course I would think that, it is my book, LOL) and just keeps getting better all the time! It will get published one way or another when the time is right, and maybe this is just not yet the right time.
So, the other part of Mission 51 refinement relates to the art. Chris Pyke just finished another piece, this one to go with the chapter "Roswell Revisited." Take a look. It is too spectacular for words. Absolutely awesome talent! :D

Character update:
Finally, we meet the last member of The Diamelen’s crew. I give you the skilled, yet troubled pilot: our protagonist, Mary Ketch.

Mary’s come a long way from home in an attempt to distance herself from the pains of her recent past. She’s lost much, and on the distant frontier world of Tantalus 13...she will find much. Is she ready for what awaits her there? Will she find the assurances she seeks? Can she overcome the dangers, not only those offered by SCARAB and Tantalus 13, but those that come from within?
Find out when you pre-order Tantalus Depths today!

Hey Cape’s Side Bayers!
We have only 200 pre-orders left until we reach full-publication! I have to say I am grinning non-stop at this. Thank you all for your support of this book, it has been incredible. I can’t wait for you all to read it!
46 days remain in this campaign and I am exhausted, but it’s far from over and 200 orders is still a mountain to climb!
So please, if you have not yet pre-ordered your copy of Cape’s Side Bay you still have a chance to see your name in the back of the book! And if you have ordered, thank you so much and please continue to spread the word and share this book as much as possible (most of you have and I cannot thank you enough!).
Huge congrats to Joni Dee having And The Wolf Shall Dwell reach full-publishing!
Until next time,
James
