THE SHORT VERSIONPlease enjoy this site and share its links freely. My writing, covers and photos belong to me, so please don’t copy them. Books are sold by other retailers, and ARC copies are for you alone.

Agreeing to These Terms

By visiting or using gjarellano.com, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site.

About This Website

This is the official website of author G.J. Arellano. It shares information about my books and lets you join my newsletter, apply to be an ARC reader, or send me a message. The site doesn’t sell anything directly. My books are sold by other retailers, such as Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, Barnes & Noble and Walmart. Prices, availability and purchases are handled by them and are covered by their own terms.

Copyright and Ownership

Unless noted otherwise, everything on this site belongs to G.J. Arellano, including the writing, book descriptions, cover art, logo, photographs and design. Please don’t copy, reproduce, republish or sell any of it without my written permission.

You’re always welcome to share links to this site, and to quote a short passage with credit and a link back.

Store logos shown on the site belong to their owners and appear only to help you find where to buy. Reader reviews quoted on the site came from public pages such as Amazon and Goodreads and remain the work of their authors.

ARC Reader Copies

If you’re chosen as an ARC reader, you receive a free early copy of the book in exchange for your honest review. By submitting the application, you agree to the non-disclosure terms shown on the form:

  • Don’t share your copy with anyone else.
  • Don’t post spoilers on social media.
  • Don’t pirate, duplicate or copy the manuscript in any form.
  • Don’t upload any of the text to AI tools.

Applying doesn’t guarantee you’ll be selected, and I may decline any application. Your review should always be your own honest opinion. Please say that you received a free advance copy when you post it, as some places require.

Using the Website and Forms

Please use the site and its forms respectfully and honestly. Don’t send spam, harmful or unlawful content, or false information. Don’t try to disrupt, overload or break into the site, or collect its content with automated tools.

Links to Other Websites

This site links to other websites, such as retailers, Goodreads and social media. I don’t control them and am not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices.

No Guarantees

I work to keep this site accurate and running, but it is provided “as is.” Information, release dates and availability may change, and the site may be unavailable at times. To the extent the law allows, I’m not liable for any loss that comes from using the site or relying on its content.

Your Privacy

How I handle your information is explained in my privacy policy.

Changes to These Terms

I may update these terms from time to time. When I do, I’ll change the date at the top of this page. Using the site after that means you accept the updated terms.
