Historically, a Page or Handmaiden got very little besides scolding, ear pulling and the occasional switch. In this case, this lowliest of ranks only has the news passed on to them. Pages and Handmaidens will receive notifications of when all digitally published material will be made available and where it can be found. This is to include announcements of fiction books, articles and related online postings.

After many years of servitude and toil, a Squire or Maiden has moved up in the world. The key to their success lies in gathering information, processing and learning how to use it. In addition to being notified as a Page and Handmaiden will be, a Squire or Maiden is also privy to specialized reporting, in this case PDF articles on both the art of writing and on the author’s specific research on what could be considered very prickly subjects that others may not have the intestinal fortitude to investigate.

In addition to the benefits from the lower levels, a Knight or Lady will receive complimentary copies of all fiction books the author publishes. This includes PDF versions sent directly to the Knight or Lady’s e-mail, and also links to where the books will be found online, at no charge, in case the recipient would like to obtain a copy in a different e-reader format. At the present moment, the author is planning to release at least one or two titles per month.

In addition to the benefits from the lower levels, a Duke or Duchess will have the added privilege of reading the author’s fictional work as it is being written. The author can, at this point in his writing career, produce a book of standard novel length, or 100,000 words, in one to three months. A Duke or Duchess can expect a PDF update every two or three days, possibly with minor errors since these will be works in progress. The author may also entertain the notion of placing a Duke or Duchess into a longer story as a character in a particular setting, or perhaps creating an entirely new short story with the Duke or Duchess as the main protagonist. These novelty stories would necessarily be written when the author is between projects, or else his brain will get muddled up and nothing constructive will be done at all.
