So, you like what you see here on the site, and you'd like me to come and teach classes at your shop, festival, convention, birthday party, Lamaze session, heart-to-heart talk with your significant other, or other event. Here are some guidelines and things to consider:

--Travel expenses: I require coverage of travel expenses. I don't mind driving within a reasonable distance, a day's drive. However, if I need to fly, you'll need to pick up the tickets (coach is fine).

--What I offer: You can see the classes I offer here. If you happen to have read something I wrote in a book or article that you'd like me to specifically present on that isn't listed here, feel free to let me know--I'm pretty flexible about these things. I can also vend anywhere within driving distance; my artwork/ritual tools/etc. and books tend to go over really well since they're so unusual. And I'm more than happy to pay the vending fees as needed. I also do totem card readings, and I'm happy to show up at psychic fairs and so forth.

--Scheduling: As I am completely self-employed, my schedule is fairly flexible, though some months fill up fast, so the sooner we make arrangements the better.

--Accomodations: I'm not incredibly picky--you don't have to put me in a five-star hotel or anything. Somebody's guest room will be just fine. I am a light sleeper, so if you have nocturnal pets or live in a noisy area, I may end up being a cranky zombie the next day, which isn't conducive to good presentations. I'm also currently on a second shift schedule, so I generally wake up somewhere between ten and noon PST. If the event will be outdoors, and I'm flying and can't bring a tent, I'd really appreciate shelter. Tents or cabins work, but I need privacy and quiet to sleep. For driving-distance outdoor events, I do have a tent and tarps. As far as food goes, if you're willing to feed me, awesome--I'm an omnivore, and about the only thing I can't handle is really spicy food. If you can't feed me, let us know where I can get relatively affordable munchies so I don't starve to death, and if you can chip in a food stipend that would help, too. Also, I am mildly hypoglycemic, so a source for healthy snacks throughout the day is appreciated, even if I just end up making a run to the grocery store. Finally, I need meat protein to keep my energy levels up, so if the fare will primaily be vegetarian, please forewarn me so I can supplement as necessary on my own.

--Event Admissions: Unless otherwise arranged, I prefer free, or at least significantly discounted, admission to any event I am presenting at.

--Books and book signings: I'm used to hauling a big bag o' books around with me to events, including on the plane. However, if you wish to order your own copies of my books for me to sign, just let me know. Generally, I prefer to sign books in conjunction with presenting workshops, rather than only doing book signings.

--Stipends/speaking fees: These are appreciated when it is possible to extend them to me.

I hope this makes things clear. If you don't think you can cover all my expenses but would like me to present at your event, contact me and let's see what we can work out.
