Appreciating her thoughtful comments, I contacted her when I published my second novel, The Drift. After reading it, she provided one of the most insightful and complimentary reviews I have ever received. Over the last six years, we have kept in touch. I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing two of her novels: For Love of the Phantom and Carapace.

In addition to the experiences and tidbits of advice I offer as a self-published author, I wanted to include the insights and perspectives of a variety of creative people I have met along the way. Today, I am interviewing Chris Dundon, an English teacher, songwriter, and singer. I first met Chris after moving into the same apartment house here in Vietnam.

On occasion, he will help me edit and I will pitch song ideas. More often than not,…
