Cliff Bailey liked an update for Tantalus Depths

With all the madness that’s been happening over the past few days, I’m beyond thrilled to deliver some unreservedly good news.
Heh...thrilled....

Tantalus Depths has been backed by its third syndicate! Today we received the distinct honor of being chosen as the August pick for the Thriller Night Syndicate. It’s awesome to be recognized by the community yet again for Tantalus Depths’ content: this time not for theme, but for tone. Tantalus Depths is all about mystery and foreboding, peril and the struggle for survival against extremely bad odds. It’s a thriller to its core, and I sincerely hope you all find it as nail-biting and knuckle-whitening as I intended it to be!

GREETINGS!

As you’ll notice chapter one has been TOTALLY revamped. The chapter you formerly knew as "one" is actually being moved to the right to either chapter 2 or 3...not quite sure yet.

I felt like the character of Perilea needed to be fleshed out a bit more and with the way things were progressing I wasn’t exactly sure how to do that without going back to the beginning. I was getting to the point where I was writing a HUGE exposition dump and I wasn’t a fan of that.

For the overall manuscript I am about 74 pages in now with just over 13,000 words. I’ll have a deeper dive and hopefully more on the site here in terms of story by the end of tomorrow. I have just today and tomorrow left on leave then it’s back to the day job so I’m trying to capitalize on that time by writing my tuchus off and working on publicizing the project.

If you dig what you’ve read so far, please consider pre-ordering (it won’t happen without you!) and sharing with your sci-fi/fantasy friends!

Mahalo for your support - have a great day!

Cliff
