Hey Guys. OK so Squids In has dropped down to 7th place in the Nerdist competition, but we are only 6 unique readers from taking 3rd place so please can you do me a solid and place a pre-order? If you already have, any chance you can tell someone you know about this wacky book and get them interested enough to pre-order it?

To try and incentivize you to pre-order, I created a list of "Ten Awesome Octopus Items on Etsy" over on Buzzfeed - https://www.buzzfeed.com/matthewp4d317e6ea/ten-awesome-octopus-items-on-etsy-2dqod

Please place a pre-order. The octopus has already replaced his launch day bottle of prosecco with a bottle of Kraken Rum and i’m worried about what will happen to him if Squids In drops out of the top ten.

You can pre-order Squids In by following this link - https://www.inkshares.com/books/squids-in

Greetings, loyal and steadfast patrons!

 We have wonderful tidings to share with you…   The Knight Proper, in all its meaty glory, will be available and in your hands by early August! As we get closer, we’ll give you an exact date so that you may load thy larder with enough mead to see you through those dark days until its release – but we’re talking soon, really soon!

 We have a few other exciting announcements to share, the first being that for So Cal residents, we’ll be having a book release/signing event (no mead allowed, sadly), more details coming soon and also, to prove that we REALLY know our Undead around here, here’s the newly-released trailer for Matt’s movie, Manhattan Undying! No knights sadly, a clear oversight on Matt’s part, but we hope you’ll understand.

  That’s all for now, friends, stay tuned!

Readers and followers of The Seventh Age! I bring you:

                                                    ART!

Check out how the cover is coming along. This is a higher resolution image than I’ve usually been sharing. The final artwork for this and the back cover should be done before the end of June. 

After the cover, the first character sketch has come in from my prior request looking for art commissions. The talented artist Lizzy Perez has read the Seventh Age and deemed the character Akira her favorite one. She nailed it! Stay tuned for future updates as Lizzy also has some more artwork and scenes coming in as well. 

The final part of this quick update is: I’m 38 readers / copies away from clearing the major benchmark of 1000. If you know anyone who is interested in urban fantasy, conspiracy, and street-tacos, send them over. I’ll be holding a series of 7 raffles after I hit 1000 for all readers on my dashboard. From reader #1 all the way to the final order. Everyone will be eligible. So if you want to be in: you’ve got 38 spots left. 

Prizes will range from artwork, tarot-decks, occult books, and some other Seventh-Age themed works. More info on that stuff as we get closer to 1k!

38 more! We can do this. 

Fantastic news! Tantalus Depths has received the tremendous honor of being backed by a syndicate!
Tantalus Depths has been made the official June pick by the GREAT SCIFI for the 21st CENTURY and BEYOND SYNDICATE. I can’t begin to express how honored I am to have Tantalus Depths earn this great syndicate’s support. We are now only 29 pre-orders away from Quill!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Matthew Isaac Sobin and all the members of this syndicate for this gesture.

We’re getting really close, everyone. I can feel it! Keep sharing and promoting Tantalus Depths whenever and wherever you can!
