I have provided credit when quoting brief passages from others’ work. This to encourage further reading of these authors who have influenced my thinking and it is done with the hope that it always meets fair use guidelines for non-commercial use. This is a free site paid for by me and I receive nothing for hosting it….not even ad revenue….zero.

If you are an author or legal representative of a work quoted here and you question the “fair use”, email me at borderlandjournal@gmail.com and I will remove all references to your name and your work if that is your desire.

Links to this site are welcomed.
