I have some extremely unfortunate news about Tantalus Depths.
Apparently, there was a significant amount of abuse relating to Inkshares’ free credits system regarding Tantalus Depths. This means a large number of the pre-orders it has accumulated were likely achieved by misusing the referral system Inkshares has in place, presumably by purchasing multiple copies using credits rather than cash.
I may be responsible for this, as I’ve encouraged people to make use of the credits system in the past, however the overall number of pre-orders that have been flagged as abusing the system is significant. Inkshares has been removing pre-orders that have been flagged as abusing the system, and as of now, Tantalus Depths has dropped dramatically to 557 pre-orders, and may continue to drop lower if they find more.
Inkshares is investigating this issue, as am I.
If any of you have been making illicit use of the credits system, I appreciate your desire to help, but please do not abuse the system. It isn’t helpful, and it isn’t right.
Since only 11 days remain in my campaign and I am now back down to at least 200 pre-orders away from the full funding goal, I have asked for an extension to my campaign. Meanwhile, your legitimate support is needed more now than ever.  

Hello followers of Cape’s Side Bay!

Thank you all for following, for recommending, of pre-ordering, reviewing and everything you’ve done to help us get to 241 pre-orders in a month and a half!

So 241 is a fantastic number, it’s 9 away from the illustrious 250. So, now, we are close, very close, and I’m hoping to hit 250 soon! So if you are planning on ordering and are able to please do!

I also want to thank Joni Dee who is helping me with the editing of the book among other things. his book is over halfway to the BIG BAD 750, and his book AND THE WOLF SHALL DWELL is a great read and I would suggest ordering a copy if you haven’t already!

And, a huge congratulations to Tabi Card for her awesome book Scribbles: A Collection of Words getting published under Quill! Cannot wait to read her fantastic stories! You can get it now at a discounted price!

Until next time, enjoy your Friday and all the best!

Hello!

It’s Sunday and we are at 199 orders. Unbelievable. Thank you all SO much. 

If any of you reading this plan on ordering Cape’s Side and haven’t yet (or you have some spare credits lying around!), I’d love to hit 200 by tomorrow!

This weekend has been a huge boost, and BIG shout out to Joni Dee for helping me out! It’s a long tough road and help & support from fellow inksharians is always nice! If you haven’t checked out his book, AND THE WOLF SHALL DWELL, you’re missing out!

The GEEK & SUNDRY contest in almost over! It’s been a heck of a month, if you haven’t backed a book yet you have a few more hours to do so!

The top 5 as of this writing are:

THE PUNCH ESCROW by TAL M. KLEIN

AFTER MAN by BRIAN GUTHRIE

THE PIRATES OF MONTANA by ERIN S. EVAN

WE CLOCKED THE T-REX by RONALD VALLE

TANTALUS DEPTHS by EVAN GRAHAM

It’s quite the race and can’t wait to see the outcome! Best of luck to you all!

Finally, I just want to say I cannot believe that this update is going out to 220 people! Thank you all so much for believing in me, this book, and your continued support.
