Can I have the E-handbook sent to a different email than the one I used to check out with?
Yes but please indicated this in the comment box during checkout or else I will by default e-mail the product/service to the e-mail on your Google Checkout account.

Do I have to be 18 years old to make a purchase?
No. All material provided on this site is appropriate for all ages. If you do not have a credit card you may pay with a money order. Check out my gift cards - they start as low as $3 and make perfect gifts for siblings!

There is never any tax or shipping on any of my products or services.

How come when I add an item to my cart it says - tax and shipping on next page?
Google's Checkout cart does not have an option to remove this phrase so it displays it - but you will not be charged any tax or shipping.

What is the total price?
The total price is the price listed below the product/service.

How do I get the discounted price listed next to the item?
Just click "ADD TO CART" and it will automatically reflect the discounted price.

Why are the prices so low?
I'm a writer myself and I have a soft spot in my heart for other writers who may not have much money so I offer lower prices to make it easier for them to afford it.

What if I want a refund?
Refunds are only available if you accidentally purchased an item. If for any reason you're not satisfied with your order you may exchange it for a service or E-handbook of equal value.

What do I do if I accidentally add an item to the cart that I don't want?
You simply click "remove" which is under the price of the item in the cart.

What happened to the cart I don't see it on the page?
The cart only appears on my service page and on the product description pages. If you go to another page on my site it will not appear because I did not want people who are interested only in the free tips to have to worry about the cart. Simply go back to
my order page and your cart will reappear.

What do I do if the cart is blocking the text on the page?
Click on the arrow in front of the phrase "View Cart" and it will minimize the contents of your cart you can make them reappear anytime by clicking on that arrow again.

What do I do if the cart stopped displaying my items?
With your mouse move the cursor over the phrase "View Cart" and click once with your left mouse button to reveal what's in your cart.

Coupons are sometimes listed at the bottom of my homepage. You can also get insiders coupons from my Free Weekly Newsletter. And customers who have purchased any service or E-handbook will also receive a coupon in their confirmation email.

What is an E-handbook?
An E-handbook is similiar to an E-book the only different being in page length. An E-handbook is generally less than 20 pages long.

here.

Oops I meant to have you send the ebook to a different address than my Google Checkout account but I forgot to tell you - what do I do?

May I provide more than one email address for my E-handbook to be delivered to?
If you want to buy the same handbook to be delivered to two email addresses please contact me ahead of time before placing your order and I will offer you a discount.

Once I have purchased an E-handbook may I share it with friends and family?
I respectfully request that you do not distribute the ebook as this is how I make a living. Please invite your friends to buy the ebook for themselves or you can purchase a gift card from them.

After I have received the item may I leave feedback on the purchase?
Yes Google Checkout offers an opportunity for you to leave feedback to the seller (me!). And of course you can always just email me your feedback. I'm always ready to hear your feedback so I can gauge how well I'm serving you and I'll take any suggestions you have on how to improve my customer service. In fact you can leave feedback about my site without even making a purchase. Give Your Feedback
