Etiquette

This page provides information about my privacy policy, guidance on commenting and copyright, and what to expect if you contact me. The following terms and conditions are subject to change at any time and without notice. (Last updated: 9 Nov 2021)

Contact

When you contact me via the WordPress contact form, I will retain your email address for the purpose of communicating with you. Your email address and correspondence remains private (as far as I can control that in these heavily surveilled times) and I will never share or sell your data. You may opt out of the collection of your data by asking me to remove your email address at the conclusion of our correspondence and I will delete it.

I will do my best to respond to your query as soon as I can, but I’m very busy – who isn’t?! – so if I don’t get back to you immediately, please be patient. Other than that, be aware of the following:

  • I DO NOT do astrological readings, so if your query involves your horoscope, please seek help elsewhere. Sorry.
  • If you’re selling advertising, I’m not buying so don’t waste your time (or mine).
  • If you need spiritual guidance or advice, I’m happy to help but please read the disclaimer below. (Jump to Disclaimer)
  • If your query is irrelevant or unrelated to the information on this site – don’t expect a reply.
  • If I can’t help, I’ll let you know – assuming your query is relevant (see above).

Other than that – I look forward to hearing from you!

Comments

Comments are welcome as long as they’re civilised and reasonable. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but I will delete destructive comments and personal attacks aimed at either myself or other users. We can disagree without being mean.

WordPress does a fine job of removing most of the spam but any that sneak through the filters will be deleted. I will also delete any comments that violate the WordPress terms of service and user guidelines (follow those links to find out more).

Privacy and Disclaimer

I value your privacy as much as my own and I will never share or sell your personal information to third parties. WordPress collects certain information in order to provide its services. For details, read the WordPress privacy notice here, and find out how they use cookies here.

My books are linked to Amazon using the Booklinker link management service run by GeoRiot which processes certain information in order to identify a potential buyer’s location. I do not receive commission or affiliate payments from these links and any revenue accrued goes to GeoRiot. For details, read the Booklinker terms and privacy notices here.

If you make a donation using the PayPal Me link or PayPal button (thank you!), PayPal will collect certain information in order to complete the transaction. For details, read the PayPal terms and privacy notices here.

Disclaimer

This website is my personal corner of the internet where I ramble on various subjects and practice the art of learning how to be a writer/human being. Some of my ramblings touch on sensitive areas, such as mental health and spiritual crisis. However, I am not a professional psychotherapist. I have no qualifications other than my own experience and study, although I have trained (briefly) in counselling.

The information on this website is based on my own education, life experience and perspective, and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, treatment, or therapy.

Read at your discretion. Use your judgement. Question everything. Think for yourself and don’t take my word for anything. You are responsible for what happens inside your own head.

If you need serious medical, professional, or legal advice, please contact a relevant professional who is licensed to provide that service.

If you have any problems or queries concerning the above, please contact me.

Thanks for reading!
