information to deliver communications that may be of interest to you.
and I will provide your name and
email address to contact me, subscribe to my email newsletter, or to enter a

I use the PII collected on this site
to reply to messages and questions as well as to tell my subscribers about new
releases, sneak peeks, cover reveals and more. I do not rent or sell this
information to anyone. I do not share PII with any other party except:
· With MailerLite as my email automation platform.
· With legal authorities if required to share information by
law in connection with any actual or threatened legal proceeding.
Website Security:
I take reasonable technical
precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your PII. All PII is
transferred to my MailerLite account where it is stored securely in accordance
with their Privacy Policy and Terms
of Service.

This website collects aggregate
information about my website traffic to help me better understand trends and
identify opportunities to serve my readers more effectively. This includes:
· Your computer’s IP address
· Browser type
· Operating system
· Geographic location
· Referral source
· Any links clicked (both internal and external), including
the number of users who have shared pages to their social media. In that case,
the number of users who have shared a page is visible, but I do not have access
to names or specific account information.

Analytic's Data Privacy certificate, click here.
I occasionally review this data to
better understand how visitors use my website so I can make improvements. I may
share aggregate data figures such as website traffic numbers or number of
subscribers with agents, other authors, or third parties I use to support my
author business, but any PII is kept separate and private. I do not track users
after they leave my site.
