Disclaimer

Revised 3/2019, effective 5/12/2011

First things first…

  • This blog discusses romances. Sometimes erotic romances. Probably not the best place for those under 18…thank you!
  • There are pages with affiliate links, usually the books with Amazon links.
  • Please note, that if you are under 18 (or under the age of majority in your place of residence), do not enter any of my contests.  By entering any of my contests, you attest that you are eighteen, or the age of majority in your place of residence.
  • This blog also discusses opinions and if you do not like that…you can leave.
  • FYI. I am a writer.
  • This blog is mainly for me to use for updates, contests, ramblings, the occasional personal promo, ramblings and that sort of thing.
  • Anybody and everybody is welcome but no outside promo is allowed. DO NOT COME ONTO MY BLOG TO SLING CRAP. Such comments will be deleted. You’re welcome to use your own platform for that.
  • I want to keep the blog fun and friendly for readers and authors alike, so no BS is tolerated. No flaming is allowed and no personal attacks.
  • I do discuss books but I’m not a reviewer. I do contests and give away books by various authors, but I don’t get any compensation from authors or publishers for this. I do it because it’s fun for those who read my blog and because I like to share books that I’ve enjoyed.

A link to the blog/website’s privacy policy is posted clearly at the footer of each page and is located here.

Contest Disclaimer

revised 3/17/2015

  • Entry into any contest run by me means you’ve read and agreed to my disclaimer.
    Links to disclaimer are clearly posted on my facebook page and on the blog. Please read the disclaimer.
  • By entering any contest of mine, you acknowlege a complete release of any and all claims against me, the author, Shiloh Walker/J.C. Daniels.
  • Prizes must be claimed within 2 weeks of the winner’s name being posted or the prize is forfeit.
  • Please do not forward contests on my blog onto sweepstakes sites or contest sites. I do these contests as a treat for my readers and to hopefully entice potential readers into trying out a new book or two. It’s not a sweepstakes site. Thank you!
  • Naturally, void where prohibited by law
  • Odds of winning various contests will depend on number of entries
  • I don’t limit you to winning just one or two. BUT you can only enter EACH contest one time. Do not post under a couple of different IDs. (The only exception is twitter contests where multiple tweets are allowed.) Entering my blog contests under different emails… bad, don’t bother, I know when this happens.
  • I reserve the right to modify/change/end contests early as I see fit.  This is particularly likely to happen if I discover my contests on sweepstakes sites.
  • Certain contests may be restricted to the US only.  Most will be be open across the globe.  If it doesn’t say, assume it’s open for international readers as well.
  • All contest entries are limited to one per household.

  • Unless otherwise noted, prizes are either purchased by me, or I picked them up at various writer events to use a giveaways here at the blog.
  • Contest prizes are generally mailed within one month of being claimed, but on occasion, it can take up to six weeks.  Please note, prizes are mailed with tracking and I’m not responsible for lost or misdirected packages.
