About the Author

Val Dumond is a life-long language buff and author of books about grammar and inclusive language. Grammar For Grownups was her response to a HarperCollins editor asking for a grammar book anyone could understand. The book was a best seller for more than a decade when rights were returned to the author. This new version is a re-issue of the original book, still easily understood -- and used by people who write as part of their work and people who write because it's fun. Now, after editing more than 60 books, and fed up with language confusion, she offers her feisty views on the state of language today. She still considers grammar "too much fun to be taught to children; you have to be a grownup to appreciate it." Val has grown with the book industry, editing more than 60 books, publishing both with mainstream and independents, and using the Internet (Facebook, her website, blogs, LinkedIn, Twitter, Amazon, and Kindle) to market her books. She says, “I love the feel of a book in my hands, but I’m recognizing the trend towards communicating stories electronically… a fascinating concept.” All of her books are available on Kindle. Val encourages writers to polish their manuscripts and research publishing opportunities. As leader of a writing group, she developed Muddy Puddle Press as an exercise to teach writers how to publish independently. Many of her students have since published their own books. Val has turned to writing novels, completing a few that have languished in her computer files, and fashioning new ones — mostly published as eBooks. Published by Muddy Puddle Press, her novels to date include: Ahlam’s Stories, How We Fought World War II at William T. Sherman Elementary School, and her latest, Sugar, Spice, and Stone (about Klondike Kate). Other new publications include The Anarchist's Guide to Grammar, an in-your-face approach to grammar, and Are You Singing Your Song? -- a compilation of words from folks who are living life their way. A member of EuraLex, Modern Language Association, the North American Dictionary Society, and the Pacific Northwest Writers Association, Val participates in as many U.S. and international conferences as possible. This author lives in the Pacific Northwest where she volunteers with her favorite nonprofits, raises herbs and raspberries, watches her yard critters, and plans her next travels.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
