• After the recording, you will get the date and time your appearance will air.  You should share the information with your audience, on your website and/or social media.     
• Donations are not required GREATLY appreciated and accepted
• It’s a conversation. You talk about your work and see where it leads us. Sometimes it’s more than just books!
• I do NOT have a list of questions that I ask. I ask a question, you answer, and we discuss. I may ask questions that I already know the answer to so the audience also knows the answer, especially if I've read your book prior to the prerecording (I don't always have the time to do it before, but if you provide the book, I will read and review it).
• All I require is that when you get the link to your show, (you’ll get it and the date the show will air after the recorded conversation), is that you share the information with your audience, on your website and/or social media. 
• If you have a Spotify account, please follow the podcast    
• I use Google Meet and it gives you the option to connect via your computer (for video or audio) or a phone number you can call, for audio only. 
• Check your microphone and camera on your computer to make sure they work, as well as a strong internet connection.
• If using a cellphone, make sure you have plenty of charge on it.  
• Also, I set the meetings to my time zone, Eastern. (I live in Upstate NY). So, when we agree on a time, make sure I know if you are in a different time zone, and if you mean a time that is on your time zone, not mine. 
• If you are representing an inmate and they would be calling from a correctional facility or need a direct number, let me know, and I will give you my Google Voice number. I know inmates from a correctional facility cannot call 800 or toll free numbers.
• If your availability doesn’t jive with the booking schedule, USE THE CONTACT FORM and we will work out a schedule that works for you.
• I reserve the right to NOT air any episode if the content goes against my policy of clean content**

 This podcast is clean content only. This podcast supports First Amendment Rights and has a segment for uncensored voices, but even the First Amendment has exclusions to the rule. 

Clean Content means:

1. No VULGAR language or SWEARING while recording. My podcast is clean content, and I want to keep it that way. The only exception would be if an author was reading an excerpt that had choice words within the content.
2. NO content should promote HATE, VIOLENCE, BIGOTRY, OR ANY PROMOTION OF BODILY HARM OR HATE AGAINST A PERSON, OR A GROUP, OR RACE, OR GENDER. 
3. However, if, due to a true crime writer talking about a case, and it is a little graphic, that episode will have a disclaimer.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT AIR ANY APPEARANCE THAT VIOLATES MY RULES.
