I am a Certified Tarot Master -- a Tarot reader, teacher, lecturer, and freelance
writer.  I have been a regularly scheduled workshop presenter at the annual Los
Angeles Tarot Symposium (LATS) since 2001.  In May of 2005 I was one of the
featured speakers at the New York Tarot Reader's Studio, which is an annual three-
day event hosted by the
New York Tarot School.

My book "
Tarot Tells the Tale," which features sample readings for well-known
historical, mythical, and fictional characters, won 1st Runner Up in the General
Interest category in the 2004 Coalition of Visionary Resources (C.O.V.R.) Awards.  

My book, "
Tarot -- Get the Whole Story" demonstrates how to create your own
spreads and uses sixteen sample readings to illustrate how to use a variety of valuable
spreads.  

As of July 2009 I am finishing up work on a book called “
Tarot Affirmations,”
which you can order from my "
products" page.  

I also
read Tarot cards (individually and for parties, as well as via telephone) and I
teach classes and workshops on the subject.
