While you may visit my page entitled “Contact Samantha” for further information on my availability, the following -while general guidelines only and subject to variability- denotes my general availability for my private clients:
Monday through Thursday: Early morning (usually around 8:00/9:00 AM) throughout the day and evening until approximately Midnight. On these nights, consider it a general rule that I will not be readily available from Midnight** through 8:00 AM CDT.
Friday through Sunday: Mid-morning (appx. 10:00/11:00 AM) throughout the day and evening until approximately Midnight/1:00 AM. On these nights, consider it a general rule that I will not be readily available from Midnight/1:00 AM** through 10:00 AM CDT.
* – All times noted are in Central Daylight Time.
** – These are times after which I will be unavailable to begin a call. Example: If you phone me at 11:55 PM, that is perfectly acceptable, as is the fact that we will obviously go beyond Midnight (aka beginning time of unavailability). Any call that begins prior to Midnight on Monday-Thursday and 1:00 AM Friday-Sunday will be conducted just as if it were in the middle of the day. You will not have to be concerned with being rushed or abruptly cut off during a call that extends beyond the aforementioned times.
Remember, these are just general guidelines and can certainly vary; therefore, I would like to reiterate that you are welcome to attempt to reach me at any time you like. I will never discourage you from doing so on the off chance that I will sometimes be available when typically I am not. Please also keep in mind that there will be times when I am usually taking calls that I happen to be otherwise engaged or unavailable.
If you call and cannot reach me or would like to call at a time that falls outside of my typical availability, you may contact me (call and/or leave a voicemail OR send an e-mail or IM during my “regular” hours) letting me know you would like to request a call at a particular time, and I will make every effort to set an “appointment” time for you. Sometimes I can easily manage these requests, and sometimes I cannot. In any event, I do try to be as flexible as possible in finding and agreeing on a more suitable time for you.
Never hesitate to ask me about arranging and/or being available at a particular time. I will always invite and encourage you to do so. All I ask is that you give me reasonable notice so the odds of success are increased, and do not be discouraged if it happens that I am unable to grant your request due to schedule conflicts. I may be Super Samantha, but sometimes even I am temporarily foiled in my scheduling efforts. 
***UPDATES:***
I will be completely unavailable from Saturday, June 19 through Sunday evening, June 20. I will be available upon my return home on Sunday evening for my usual Sunday night hours of availability.
