Thanks again for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada). My most recent book is no longer "under review" by Amazon, and can be bought there. The book's still available for purchase directly from the publisher as well.

Before I get down to business, I should mention that my friends over at Cakewrecks have done a post based on my writing style.
I should also mention that I once again have signed copies of my first two books available for sale in my store!
The weekly subscription/Amazon report:
The Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada) have really kicked in, which is 100% due to the efforts of all of you who have used them. Thank you.
We’re closing in on 300 subscribers, and I’m delighted!
Yes, that is less than half way to the eventual goal, but this isn’t Kickstarter. It’s not like I don’t see a dime until I get to the magic number of 800. I have nearly 300 paying customers, and if you do the math, you’ll see that’s not an insignificant amount of extra income. We have quite a way to go, but we’ve come a long way already!
So, if you’re already a subscriber, thank you. If you’re not, please consider subscribing! It works out to $30 a year, and you get to see my spelling and grammar errors in higher resolution and before nonsubscribers!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who has thought to use my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada)!
Secondly, I'm delighted to announce that as of today, and for the next two weeks, Basic Instructions is being sponsored by Snakehead Games, the makers of the MMOs Star Pirates and Spy Battle 2165.
They asked if I would check out their games and share my impressions. I am not an experienced MMO player; I've never even tried World of Warcraft.
Both games are free to play and are primarily text-based, with occasional still images to help set a mood. This may seem a bit dated, but it has some distinct advantages. There are no files to install. Both games run entirely in your web browser. The text-only interface allows your mind to fill in the blanks, and also the lack of the sound of explosions and automatic weapons allows your spouse to sleep. I did some testing and they both seem to run rather nicely on an iPad’s mobile browser.
I had an enjoyable afternoon trying out both games. They both have a lively social element. The primary interface for both is a combination e-mail inbox and chat window. They kind of reminded me of the old multi-user dungeons from back when the internet was new. I spent more time in Spy Battle 2165 than I did in Star Pirates. At the beginning of the game I was a fledgling spy, living in my mom’s basement. My chief adversaries were a rat and an appliance. This was the game trying to start me out slow. In time you do move on to larger adversaries. (Other real people … not larger rodents and appliances.) When I reached level three I was issued a knife and a martini!
Anyway, if you enjoy MMOs and want something a little different, please consider giving Spy Battle 2165 and Star Pirates a try. Even if not, please join me in thanking Snakehead Games for their support.
