🧭 Welcome, Brave Traveler

Greetings, reader! Whether you’re here to snag a book, poke around my imaginary worlds, or just see what this odd corner of the internet is about — welcome.

Before you proceed, there are a few things we need to agree on. Nothing ominous, I promise. Just the necessary scrolls of formality to make sure everything runs smoothly, legally, and preferably without summoning eldritch entities.

📚 Using This Website

By accessing or using rlgemmill.com, you agree to follow the rules below. If you don’t agree — hey, no hard feelings, but maybe don’t proceed further.

The site offers:

  • Info about my books
  • Direct links to purchase said books (possibly via external sellers or occasionally through this very site)
  • News, updates, and brainwaves from yours truly
  • The occasional weirdness

You agree not to use this site for anything shady, illegal, or generally evil (you know who you are).

💰 Buying Stuff

On occasion, you may be able to buy a book directly through the site. Here’s what that means:

  • Prices will be clearly marked. No trickery. No surprise curses.
  • Payments will be handled securely via trusted third-party processors (like Stripe or PayPal). I never see your credit card info — nor do I want to. I can barely remember my own PIN.
  • Delivery: If it’s a digital download (like an eBook), you’ll get it via email or direct link. If it’s a physical book (coming soon!), it’ll be shipped by me or a fulfillment partner with care — and maybe a little magic.

If something goes wrong, email rlg@rlgemmill.com. I’m just a human (possibly with coffee stains on my shirt), but I’ll always try to sort it out.

🛸 Third-Party Links & Portals

You might encounter links to places like Amazon, Bookshop, or other platforms I don’t control. Clicking those links is like walking through a portal — once you’re through, you’re in their territory. Please check their terms and policies if you’re unsure.

🔄 Returns & Refunds

Digital purchases (like eBooks) are generally non-refundable — once you’ve downloaded the story, you’ve basically absorbed it into your soul.
If there’s a technical glitch or other issue, let me know — I’ll do my best to make it right.

Physical books (when available) may be returnable if damaged or faulty. Contact me within 14 days of receipt and we’ll go from there.

🧠 Intellectual Property (AKA: Don’t Steal My Stuff)

All the words, stories, art, and general weirdness on this site belong to me (unless otherwise credited). You’re welcome to share snippets with credit or link back — just don’t copy, republish, or sell my work without permission. The goblins frown on that.

🧓 A Note on Conduct

This site is for readers, dreamers, and curious minds. Be kind. Don’t troll. And if you comment or email, don’t send anything nasty — I’m a retired biology teacher with a love for storytelling, not a battle-hardened forum mod.

🛡️ Liability

I do my best to keep this site running smoothly, but I can’t guarantee it’ll always be bug-free, lightning-fast, or free of quantum disturbances. Use it at your own risk, but don’t worry — I haven’t hidden any traps (yet).

🔄 Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time to keep up with legal stuff or because the moon told me to. You’ll always find the latest version on this page.

🧙 Final Words

Thanks for being here. Really. Whether you’re a longtime fan, a curious first-time visitor, or someone who stumbled here while searching for cave paintings — you’re welcome.

If you have any questions, email me at rlg@rlgemmill.com. I promise it won’t summon an ancient beast. Probably.

Stay weird, stay kind,
R.L. Gemmill
