Cover32.com (old version of the website) (2016):
*Cover32.com began purging past articles in 2017 and is inactive as of 2020. It has since been acquired and rebranded under different ownership. I contributed articles between January and October 2016. Any articles that had remained on the website had the author byline converted to "Cover32 Staff" or one of the editors' names. However, some articles were picked up by Yahoo.com and still rightfully include my name as author.
