Third Time's a Charm
We are proud to announce the triumphant return of the Malinche Affiliate Program!
Yes, again!
Long-time fans will recall that twice before we took a stab at an affiliate program that would work well for our affiliates and for Malinche and up until now we've been two for two in shutting down the program for one reason or another.
Howard always wondered -- was he demanding too much from the Malinche affiliate program?
He only had two established requirements:
1. The program has to offer generous commissions while making economic sense to Malinche.
2. The program has to be easy for affiliates to participate in and easy for Malinche to manage.
Howard never gave up on his vision of a powerful, profitable affiliate program. Come to think of it Howard hardly ever gives up on anything he attempts...
This time we hit the jackpot and you can too.
The new Malinche affiliate program exceeds all of our requirements:
Affiliates will earn no less than a 20% commission on every sale with escalating tiers based on volume that can earn an affiliate as much as 30% on every sale.
Affiliates can sign up and within minutes of receiving their approval start implementing text links and banner ads on their website/blog and earning money almost immediately.
Howard has committed to keeping this affiliate program open forever. So sign up today and be confident in the fact that your small investment of time will not be wasted.
Step right this way and fill out your affiliate application.

Howard Steps Down As the World's Only Implementor
Don't panic! Howard will still be a resident Implementor and will retain his position as Chairman, CEO & President of Malinche Entertainment.
It's just that Howard can no longer claim the distinction of being the world's only active Implementor of Interactive Fiction any longer.That's because the world-famous husband and wife team Lori Ann and Corey Cole have joined the Malinche family.
Here's the Official Press Release:
(Matawan, May 1, 2008) Malinche Entertainment Corp, the world's only publisher of interactive fiction, announced today that world-renowned adventure game design team Lori Ann and Corey Cole have started work on "School for Heroes", an interactive fiction adventure for readers and players of all ages.
"I'm happy to give up my title as the world's only Implementor of interactive fiction to make room for Corey and Lori Ann Cole," says Howard Sherman, Chairman, CEO and Founder of Malinche Entertainment. "They are true masters of their craft giving adventure game fans the groundbreaking Quest for Glory series, Shannara, Castle of Dr. Brain, and Mixed-Up Fairy Tales. The magic they once wove for Sierra On-Line and Legend Entertainment is part of Malinche's magic now," Sherman added.
Tapping into their talents in creating vivid, entertaining adventure games, the Coles are excited about the possibilities of interactive fiction. School for Heroes will be a perfect blend of professional writing and truly interactive decision making wrapped within a compelling plot and an immersive setting. The Coles’ philosophy of good interactive design is: The player must win - It’s all about fun. The Coles are known for providing a roller-coaster ride of humorous moments in rich, serious stories and School for Heroes will continue that tradition.
School for Heroes will delight gamers thanks to deep character interaction, conversation, and unique freedom of choice. The player can choose to take on any of four different personas within the game, each one leading to a different variation on the story line. All of these features will create mind-blowing replay value, letting readers enjoy School for Heroes again and again.
As with all of Malinche's text adventure games, School for Heroes will be playable on all computer platforms and many handheld devices such as the Nintendo DS, iPhone, Windows Mobile and Palm phones among many others and should be available this Christmas.
