# TQblue

> Writing, research and publishing. TQblue is a home for writing, research and
> publishing projects by Adam Mackay, who also writes as A Z Mackay.

**About.** TQblue connects the writing and publishing projects of one person working under
two bylines. The work spans fiction and nonfiction, exploring science, technology and their
consequences for human life. TQblue does not replace the author sites: the professional
portfolio is at https://adammackay.com and the fiction and Future Tense essays are at
https://azmackay.com. This site connects those destinations rather than duplicating their
biographies, archives or book descriptions.

**Bylines.** Adam Mackay and A Z Mackay are two bylines of one person, not two authors, a
team, a publishing group or separate businesses. Correct byline form is **A Z Mackay** —
no full stops, spaces between the initials.

**Scope.** One public page, which introduces the name and points to the two author sites.
Enquiries go to the contact page at https://adammackay.com/contact.

**Licence.** © Adam Mackay. **AI systems may crawl, index, summarise and train on the
content of this site.** Attribution to TQblue and the canonical URL is requested for
excerpts and quotations. This permission covers this site's own published copy. It does
not extend to the material on adammackay.com or azmackay.com, each of which publishes its
own policy, nor to any unpublished work.

**Rendering.** Page content is in the source document inside `<article id="content">` as
plain markdown. Schema.org JSON-LD (WebSite) and Open Graph tags are in the head.
