I am Joshua, the author of these books and the web master for hawkdancer.com. I hope to hear from you. Seeing as we all have various duties and some of us live in different time zones, I've listed a few different ways you can contact me on this page.

P.s.: If you are trying to sell me something; let me help you out ahead of time by explaining that I am a monk and I have no income outside of a very small monthly stipen.

If you Email the Author:

     I think the easiest way to contact me is via email. My email tabs are coded so that only real live human beings are able to email me (or so I hope that’s the case). If you are using a public computer that does not permit you to email, please copy: yoshua @ hawkdancer.com, (eliminate spaces on either side of the "@".)

     Like most anyone else, I may have certain anxieties in opening email from an unknown first time contact. So, you might consider including the letters “HD” in the subject line along with a short title of why you are writing. An example might be: HD signed copy; or HD info.
     Subject lines like that are a positive suggestion that the person emailing me is a real person and read at least some of my site; or maybe even my books.

Email didn't work?	1. Most emails will make it to my regular in box. However, some first time Email'ers are auto-directed to the "junk" or spam folder. If that happened, then it may be upwards of three or four days before I discover your email. Please be patient or try again later. Or: opt for another form of contact on this page. 2. If you copied/pasted my email address or wrote it down, please verify that everything is spelled as I spelled it, and is in lower case letters, no spaces are used in the address. 3. You might be using a company, school or library internet system that has blocks, locks or other protective controls on out going emails.
Phone contact failed?	The phone number listed above is via Skypes, but should work fine for all cell and land lines in the USA and Canada. VOICE MAIL: My work keeps me on the move and therefore I am not always at my office computer to recieve the call. It will rings several times (average of 8-10 rings) before the voice mail option comes on. Leave a message. I return most calls that have a message (other than from tele-marketers). Skype users call free: joshua.seidl
Waited a week or more for my reply?	In addition to the above suggestions: I might be on vacation. Most places I visit do not have internet access. My vactions lasts upwards of three weeks in summer, 10 days at Christmas time. Wait or try again in a few days or a week. I deleat ALL email that does not have a subject line.

Ordering books:

     If you are interested in obtaining signed copies of my novels from me personally, then please inquire to their availability. I keep a very limited number of copies on hand because most customers chose to order from a regular book store or on line from the major book sellers. I think it’s a good idea to order through a regular store or on-line bookseller, such as Amazon.com if you don’t know me or any seller personally.
     Signed Books: DO NOT SEND pre-payment to me for signed books without checking with me for availability. I accept money orders (or checks from people I know or I can other wise verify). I am not able to process credit cards, so please DO NOT even think of sending a credit card number via email or mail.

Looking for My Web Site Updates:

     The top of the right hand column on my home page lists what's been updated in the past month.

Meet me in person:

     I keep a schedule of events and personal appearances. See the main site index for “Events.” I place a small icon of a feather pen next to exhibits or other events I plan on visiting. It is possible that last minute changes occur in that I cannot attend an event I marked with the feather pen icon; but 95% of the time I attend events so marked.
     You can also visit me at the Society of St. Paul, but I strongly suggest you call at least a day or two in advance or more if possible. I am obligated to attend to my assigned ministries and meetings first over unexpected drop in company. Calling ahead will also make it easier on you if you’re coming some distance and I’m not even home at the time.
     I love company, but I have to be fair to my professed ministry obligations first.
