Huge news!
Just one day after receiving the Rite of Passage Syndicate pick, we’ve been given the tremendous honor of being named as the Staff Syndicate’s October pick! The Staff Syndicate is the second-larges syndicate on Inkshares, and thanks to them, we are currently now only TWENTY-EIGHT orders away from full publishing!
Guys...we could finish it today. Campaigns tend to build up a lot of momentum once they get this close to a publishing goal. Now is the time! Pour everything you have into getting the word out, because we are SO close.
So there is some news to share. 
Rise is going to be an audio-book! The deal is for Rise and a sequel, in this case Fall. I can’t wait to get my hands on this. Definitely will be listening to that on some runs.
In other news, Rise is closing in on 2000 copies sold. And most of that buzz pushing the sales is coming from you. Thank you so much! If you’re reading your copy now, I’d appreciate a "Reading" mark on Goodreads. And a review when you’re finished would be awesome.
In Fall news, I’m editing act 3 before sending it off to my editor. After that, I got back and do a rework based on the edits I already have for acts 1 and 2. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy, the sooner you do the sooner we can get it into production and in your hands.
You are all awesome!
Look at us go!
That’s sixteen in one day! a bit short of my target, but only just barely. With just three days left to earn 60 more pre-orders, we need to shoot for no less than twenty a day. That can be anywhere from twenty new readers buying one copy each, ten people buying two, or two people buying ten. I’ll take whatever I can get!
It should be noted, however, that the success we’ve seen today isn’t even all mine. Tantalus Depths has had yet another honor bestowed on it!
That’s right! We’ve been backed by another syndicate! This time we’ve received the great honor of being October’s pick for the Rite of Passage Syndicate: a newer syndicate that specializes in supporting first-time authors. Their support has really helped keep this campaign on track in its most crucial hour. All the thanks for today goes to these heroes!
Let’s not let up now, though. There are a few minutes left on today’s clock to reach our original target of 19 orders. Heck, getting a head start on tomorrow would be fantastic as well. Either way, we need to scrape together 60 more orders by the weekend, so keep pushing! The end is in sight.
