Site Credits

Last Updated: March 30, 2026

It’s very important to me to give credit where credit is due—a theme you’ll find in my writing. This page provides information on some of the people and organizations who helped bring my books and website to life. I’m happy to provide references for any of them.

Website Designer

Bright Bunch Designs www.brightbunchdesigns.com provided a custom Squarespace website design package, migrating my DIY website to a modern, elegant, accessible, and legally compliant portal for my work.

The Authors Guild

I am a member of The Authors Guild, the United States' oldest and largest professional organization for writers. The organization provides advocacy on issues of free expression and copyright protection, and offers a “Human Authored” certification. As Artificial Intelligence poses an increasing threat to creative endeavors of all types, I’m proud to certify that my books are written by a human being. Learn more here.
