By now most of my quotes have been published in quote books or books I have written, therefore they are copyrighted. To use my quotes you need to contact me. I request you cite my name with the quote. If possible cite the book they came from also.

I don't mind use of my quotes on merchandise as long as you use my name cited with the quote. I do forbid use of my picture with the quotes.

If you are simply writing an essay for college feel free to quote me without getting permission. I only ask you contact me if the quote is needed for something you are publishing.

Some will read my quotes and think they can piece together a story about me from reading all of them. Please don't bother. Some of the quotes have nothing to do with me, but things I have observed in others. I enjoy summing up life experiences to a few words.

I love to quote and I have 1, 300 quotes to choose from. Some I admit need to be deleted, but I will remove them soon from Goodreads sooner or later.

I stopped writing blog articles on this site. You can visit shannonalder.com for a few blog articles. You can also visit me on my Facebook page- Shannon L. Alder or my Facebook community page which is Staying Positive University. I also have an Instagram account.

I am currently unavailable for quest speaker appearances because I am currently busy writing my next book.
