PRIME Membership info
UPDATED 8.04.14.
It is troubling times we are living in. Privacy on the internet has all but disappeared. It is that that prompted me about a year ago to seek advice from my colleagues. Both site owners and authors. Many authors had gone to e publishing. That I did not see as a viable option for me. Although I am not a wealthy man I have never been interested in making money off what I consider to be a hobby. A very pleasurable hobby. Writing is a passion, something I love doing, not a job. There were other reasons as well not to go into e publishing. Time, cost and legalities.
There was one common thread among most authors and all site owners I talked to. They were taking steps to go underground. Why? The current administration has demonstrated a complete disregard for the constitution. We have lost more rights, knowingly or not, in the last 5 years than at any other time in history. Freedom of speech is next. Specifically in regards to what can be published on the internet. I as well as the majority of my colleagues believe this will happen within the next couple years. Are we wrong? Maybe, maybe not. But we are taking steps now to insure that you will continue to have access to the stories you want!
The new members area will be your safe haven. Visible to you when on the site, but
invisible to anyone searching or surfing on the web. It is hosted by a 3rd party on a
safe, secured site. This requires you to allow them to place a cookie on your device
for verifying that it is you when you log in.
There is a $5.(U.S.) fee to join. This entitles you to a one year membership. You will need to come back to this page to re-up at that time. There will be a reminder when it is time to renew. You will need a Pay Pal account in order to pay. Creating one if you don't already have one is quick, easy and free. If you do have one make sure it is with the email addy you use to access this site. Other wise add an alternate email or create a new account with the addy you will use. Payment is verified immediately. You should send me an email with a
user/pass of your choice after paying. Be creative and make it difficult to guess. After you receive a confirmation email from meyou can use the Prime Membership ;ink to log in. Any problems or issues within the membership area should be reported to me. DO NOT change your email adddy or provider without notifying me first. Should you have any problems or issues that is the only way I have to verify that it is you. The page host only stores certain identifiers unique to you. No personal information is gathered or stored by them or me. I delete and erase all correspondence from my HD after payment has been made. Retaining only your email addy as a contact.
As I said before I am not interested the money. While a lot of what you read on the internet may be free. It is not free by any means to serious authors to write. I currently pay $1000+ per year in fees and costs. Anything above the costs to open and maintain the site will be shared with the other participating authors and donated to charity. The option to join is yours. The public area of the site will remain free. What is there now stays and will be there as long as I can keep it compliant with any new legislation. While other sites may go dark I am confident I can quickly adapt to any changes.
*You are only allowed 1 log-in per day
I have chosen 7 of my exclusive stories to start the membership area off with. They have
all been legally copy righted and removed from any other sites. Are they worth the cost of a latte? I certainly think so and hope you do too. Sincerely, Billy, admin. of BBT
*Note: the button says 'donate', but $5. is automatically charged. Be aware also that you are paying my email account. To protect your privacy should a significant other or anyone other than you make an inquiry about the transaction I will tell them it was denied.
