Look, I hate writing this as much as you hate reading it. But if you’ve landed here, you’re either really bored, really curious, or something has gone horribly wrong. Hopefully the former and not the latter.

And if it is the former, check out my books at the webstore:

RETURN POLICY
Professional: A personalized order (signed, dedicated) placed with the author SPECIFICALLY through this website or Facebook Shops or in-person conventions cannot be refunded. Orders through alternate sales channels (such as Amazon.com, Ebay, or other third-party vendors) are covered under those retailer’s return policies.

Slightly less professional:
I’m mandated to include this by agreement with a particular e-commerce hosting page that doesn’t actually have anything to do with this website or is hosted on this server. The internet is a vast and headache inducing-void sometimes.
