The stories, memoirs, book descriptions, answers and other writing on this site are © Marshall Riggan, all rights reserved.

What needs permission first

Please email for written permission before you republish a whole story or a substantial part of one, print or distribute copies, translate or adapt the work, record it as audio, use it for any commercial purpose, or include it in a dataset used to train artificial intelligence systems. Requests from teachers and book groups are welcome.

Stories and memories

The short stories are works of fiction. Names, characters, places and events in them are the products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to real people or events is coincidental. The pieces marked as memories are the author’s personal recollections and reflect his own perspective.

The site links to booksellers, social media and other websites that Marshall Riggan does not control. These links are provided for convenience; they are not affiliate links, and this site earns nothing from them. Purchases you make are between you and the retailer, under the retailer’s terms.

No warranties

This site and its contents are provided “as is.” Reasonable care is taken to keep it accurate and available, but no guarantee is made that it will always be complete, current or free of interruptions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Marshall Riggan is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or of any website it links to.

Privacy and accessibility

How information is handled is described in the Privacy Policy. How the site is made usable for everyone, and how to ask for help, is described in the Accessibility statement.

Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
