Shadow of an Empire Wallpapers! · 7:03pm Aug 8th, 2018
Hey readers! Got a pretty awesome treat for you all today!
You’ve seen the cover for Shadow of an Empire, right? That awesome, western vista done by Michal Kváč. Well, those close followers of the site may remember how I teased that it was wallpaper-sized. And those who were Patreon Supporters? They got the wallpaper sizes.
Well, as of today, you can too. That’s right, in beautiful 4451×2560 Widescreen, you can have the full cover image of Shadow of an Empire for your desktop or digital device background, available in both textless and text versions.
1/10, not enough Meelo.
...I really should make another try at getting that review up.

It's so weird that it wouldn't let you. Have you tried contacting them about it?

Son of a—!
Apparently Amazon has implemented a rule now specifying that if you haven’t spent at least $50 on Amazon in the last 12 months you can’t submit a review. And since I haven’t bought anything on Amazon since May of last year... Not counting Shadow of an Empire, of course. It must be a brand-new, as in just-within-the-last-week rule they implemented, because when I tried it right after I finished reading the story it didn’t give me any explanation at all, but now it does. I guess I caught it just as they were doing the implementation.

Sadly, I can actually see the logic in that, given the serious issues they have with fake reviews. But that's still super frustrating, because I'm not sure that restricting someone like that will really help. In fact, it almost seems like it would just close off all but those who, surprise surprise, spend money on Amazon.
Goodreads, perhaps? Do you use that by chance?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Guess I've got a new blog post topic for this weekend.

I was not a member of Goodreads, although someone keeps putting my stories up on it. Still, I signed up and wrote a review there. Worked like a charm, although it still annoys me that I can’t format the review in any way. Meh, whatever, a review is a review.

You mean edit? I don't know about that, but I know you can do formatting somehow. Goodreads reviewers get crazy. A lot of them start using gifs and junk.
Thanks all the same, though. I'll fire an e-mail at Amazon letting them know that I'm not a fan of the new change, see if that helps.

Really? Guess I should have dug in a bit more. All I wanted was to use italics to emphasize.
Eh, no matter. Review’s up, and it’ll come up again next week.

I am all kinds of psyched to see what you thought!
EDIT: Woo-hoo! Glad you enjoyed it so much!
And on a side note, I realized a few weeks ago that Hunter/Hunted does not have any mystery elements to it. It almost feels strange.

Wait, what? No mystery elements? You can do that?
My mind, it is blown.
