CONTENT WARNING FOR PARENTS: While my books do not contain vulgar language or explicit sex, some are set in a time when certain people were free to refer to others in a derogatory manner. In order to maintain the integrity of those stories, my characters occasionally use words that are considered unacceptable today. Since they have always been used to inflict pain, I included not only the words but the damage they caused.
