Who we are
Our website address is: http://audreasallis.com. This is the official website of Audrea Sallis, an author based in the United States. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled safely and responsibly. This site is all about sharing my books with you, and occasionally offering resources for fellow writers. No paid advertising, sponsorships, or product insertions here—just a passion for storytelling and the occasional affiliate link.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Affiliate Links
Here are the deets: Sometimes, I may include affiliate links in my book pages, blog posts, or elsewhere on the site. If you decide to purchase a product or service through one of these links, I’ll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. It’s a small way to help support my writing, and I truly appreciate it! It helps pay for the site, hosting and a host of other administrative costs, and again – does not cost you anything.
As an example, I may include links from affiliate programs like the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and Google Play Affiliates. I may also recommend courses or other products, and if I do, I’ll always be upfront about any affiliate codes used.
I only endorse products or services that I genuinely think are cool or worthy. I don’t get paid to share my opinions on products, services, websites, or anything else. Everything I share here is purely my own view, and you can count on my honesty. You may also notice I don’t include negative reviews. That’s because I like to share the GOOD STUFF. If I don’t like a book or product, you’ll never hear about it on this website or blog.
Lastly, I don’t post any content that might present a conflict of interest. It’s all about writing, reading, and sharing stories that I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I do. Thanks for being here!
