No cover art or interior art is promised or provided for/with the work.  It is a novella, full of words, without art, for the time being.  Should artwork be added to make a cover or interior art at a later date, former patrons will be entitled to the updated version of "B.A.C. - Battle Armor Contingent" by simply paying the difference in cover prices. The author(Paul L. Emerson) reserves the right to make contract with any book publisher(s) of note with interest in publishing the work in hard or soft cover real-paper book media without first informing any former or current patrons.  Former or current patrons will not be entitled to free real-paper copies, or reduced cover price copies, of "B.A.C. - Battle Armor Contingent" or any other name the novella may fall under simply for being patrons of the e-Book version of the work. The author -also the producer and publisher(via email only) of the e-Book version of "B.A.C. - Battle Armor Contingent"- understands that computers crash, files become lost or corrupted, and other mistakes take place.  Therefore, the following proviso is made: Former and current patrons -records are kept on CD-R disc- will be entitled to the first copy made available from the author(Paul L. Emerson) as transmitted through email, as well as a second, non-updated, copy of the work at a later date, should the need arise.  Simply contact the author and explain what has happened, as well as that you would like your free second copy of the novella, and one will be sent as soon as possible.  However, if you, the reader, fail to maintain a copy of the novella on non-volatile media -CD-R or floppy disk- and you wish to have another copy beyond the second, you will be required to purchase the novella through this same means -PayPal- again. It is illegal to resell or redistribute copies of this media simply because you are a current or former patron, without the permission of the original author(Paul L. Emerson).  Redistributing or reselling copies is punishable by law in many nations, and shouldn't be done.  Any such action will take away from the value of my work and my value through the work.  That being said, an investigation will be made, by me and any agency willing to spend the time to investigate on their own, into any alleged unauthorized reselling or redistributing of this work, and if evidence of such is found, it will be presented to authorities for the sake of prosecution.  If you wish to assist me by translating this novella into other languages, or wish to host a link to this site, or sell my book from your site, please contact me to make arrangements first.  Thank you for remaining honest, I appreciate your patronage, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this work.
