This privacy policy applies to signing up for my author newsletter, commenting on my website, e-mailing me directly, using the contact form, or book events where photography and recordings may happen. As required, items may be added or deleted to this policy.
Please note any information entered or provided in the following sections may be kept and stored. If you require the removal or deletion of information, please read the section below regarding how to request its removal.
Your promise:
All subscribers, commenters, and those who e-mail me acknowledge that they are at least 13 years old or have received permission from their parents/legal guardians to subscribe, comment, e-mail, or otherwise contact me.
My promise:
I respect your privacy. Your information is safe. I will never trade or sell the information you provide me to another party. I am the only one with direct access to it. Should this change, I will update this policy and inform newsletter subscribers directly of this change.
Newsletter:
My author newsletter is designed to keep fans of my writing informed about the books I’ve written, am writing, or will write. When you subscribe to the newsletter, you get:
- Zaria Fierce Desktop Backgrounds featuring Eoghan Kerrigan’s artwork for the series
- All blog updates sent to your inbox wrapped up in one nice monthly e-mail blast
- An occasional “e-mail list only” newsletter with information about my latest books, giveaways, and/or upcoming author events
When newsletter subscriber giveaways happen, the only piece of information that will be disclosed on the website or in a follow-up “e-mail list only” newsletter is the provided First Name or Username from the sign-up form. I will use the provided e-mail to contact the winner(s).
You may unsubscribe at any time by going to the bottom of an e-mail and using this section:

You can update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list
Comments:
The provided Name in the comment section will be attributed to your comment. The e-mail provided is stored on the backend of this website to link your comments together so that you don’t have to wait for approval to post every time you comment. It also provides me a way to contact you, should I need to do so. An example of a time when I may need to contact you is if you are the winner of a giveaway.
Contact Form:
The contact form collects information you provide and shares it with me on the backend of this website. The information provided allows me to reach out to you directly if you asked questions or were looking for a response from me. Sometimes your questions may be answered on the blog instead of by e-mail. If this is the case, your name will be stripped for privacy, unless I reach out to you (using the e-mail) and get your permission first. I will never share anything personal you may write me using this form without your permission.
Direct E-mail:
I’ve provided my direct e-mail address for fans to submit artwork and photos. It is assumed, unless otherwise stated in the e-mail you send me that you meant to share this with me so that I may post the artwork/photos on the site or on my social media accounts for others to see and enjoy. I will only use names if you give me permission to do so, otherwise I will say something like – “Thank you for submitting your photos for this event!” or “Look at these wonderful coloring pages I just received!” or “Wow! This is some terrific fanart that was just e-mailed to me!” Please note, wording may be different in actual posts.
Author Events:
I like to record my author events and share them later on this website and/or on social media for my fans to see and catch up on if they were unable to attend. This may include video or audio recording, and photography. I will disclose this at events. Names and faces may be heard or seen depending on quality of the recording. Sometimes I transcribe the Q&A sessions. If I do, no names are used.
Removal of Information:
You may request that a photo of you or your children be removed from this site at any time, even if you previously gave permission. The same is allowed for my personal social media accounts. Please note, I require that you provide me with the direct link to the item you wished removed if you want me to pull it from this website or from my social media accounts. You may request that a comment is deleted if you tell me the e-mail address used to submit the comment. I may reach out to the commenter by said e-mail to confirm deletion request. It is best to e-mail me from the original e-mail for quick removal.
Questions?
You may contact me by using the contact information provided here to inquire about anything relating to this policy.
