Content / Trigger Warnings

The last thing I want is for anyone reading my books to be distressed by the content within them. On this page, you can find a list of possible adverse content and triggers – I cannot promise that this is exhaustive (and it’s a work in progress) but I hope that it helps you have a safer, better reading experience:
