Ethical Notes From the Author
On the use of AI:
There is absolutely no use of generative artificial intelligence in any of my work or marketing. Generative AI is a serious threat not only to the futures and livelihoods of artists but also to human life and environmental health. For this reason, I have chosen not to participate in Amazon Kindle Unlimited, as KU currently scrapes authors’ works to feed generative AI features. I understand that this limits accessibility for many readers, and I am working on diversifying into platforms with alternative media offerings like e-books and audiobooks. I thank you for your patience as I pursue this. You can find cover art credits and more design details on the title pages of any of my books.
On Content:
Please find all content warnings listed in the content note pages in each book. You may also find them listed on each title’s The Storygraph page. If you notice one that is not listed and you think it should be, please do not hesitate to email me.
All my work has been reviewed by at least one sensitivity reader. It is my intention and responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of my readers, particularly those whose identities, positionalities, or communities are vulnerable or marginalized. However, if you notice that something in any of my books doesn’t feel quite right, or that something is insensitive, misrepresentative, or harmful, please do not hesitate to let me know. I take this very seriously, would appreciate your feedback, and will make appropriate efforts to correct any missteps. I do hope and endeavor to be sure that this will not be necessary.
Similarly, if you need additional details about particular content warnings before reading, please feel free to contact me via email or on social media.
While many of my stories do contain sensitive content, I aim to handle them with intention and the appropriate gravity. You will never find on-page depictions of sexual or gender-based violence in my stories.
