TL;DR:
I’m an author, not a data-miner. I collect almost nothing and I promise not to be weird with your email address. I sell only stories (via lovely third-party retailers) and occasionally earn a tiny commission if you use my links to buy them. I’ve disabled comments and logins to keep things simple. Now, go buy a book and get reading!
