OK, totally blatant and shameless plug here (approved my the MODs).

I have Amazon affiliate links on the raisingquail.net blog. I made (gasp!) almost $10 last month. Soon I'll be able to quit my job and buy an island somewhere and retire.

If you'd like to help support the birds and you need something from Amazon, click on any link in the blog to get to Amazon and just buy whatever you want from there. We get a tiny commish and you pay the same that you would have if you just went directly to Amazon anyway. Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to do this. (hint: a bookmark to one of my links would be an easy way to do this )

We're trying out some new things on the blog:

I've started posting product reviews (one up so far) as well as a "preparedness topics" category. Some of the reviews will be of "prepper" related products. Others will be cooking stuff, quail stuff, etc.

I'm still plugging away on the book. This is a big project and I'm anal as hell so it's going to take a while. The plan is to offer it to subscribers of the blog for free for a certain amount of time, or maybe to the first 100, or whatever. Then it'll go on to Amazon. Anyway, it'll be fun to see what happens there.

Believe me, I do not have any illusions of making any serious money here. I just like to write and if I can support the birds through Amazon links, that's awesome.

And thanks to those who have sent me kind words and advice about the blog. I can use all the help I can get.
