PRIVACY POLICY

​

1. I will never knowingly share your details with third parties.

2. I keep your email address on file and with that address I sometimes have information about your first and last name, where and when you signed up. That information is kept by my mailing delivery company and is removed if you unsubscribe.

3. My website uses cookies like every other website. I dunno what it does with them or what they taste like and I'm afraid no milk is provided. I can only apologise that there's no cookie to stop my website from asking you if you'll accept cookies every single chuffing time you visit, instead of just once.

4. GDPR. Everyone on my mailing list has been recruited with double opt in, which means that, at some point in the process, they have to confirm that they want to receive emails from me. This has been my standard policy from the get go. Those who have signed up to my list are able to unsubscribe any time, and a link to do that is automatically included in every email I send.

5. What being on my mailing list entails:

No spam whew!

Just a couple of emails a month usually about-:

• news about my books, life (if it's funny enough) ideas for stories, the odd free short or deleted scene, etc,

• a Bargains Galore email letting you know about any interesting books I've found or promos I'm taking part in which I think may interest you.

Other factors that may result in extra emails over the month are:

• If I have a new release in the pipeline.

• You may receive the occasional email in a random sequence which goes out over the course of the first year after people join me. These have more information about my writing, locations in the books, how I choose the character names, marques of flying cars etc.

The monthly emails will give you options, regularly, so you can unsubscribe any time.
