One-To-One with John DeDakis

I was fortunate to be interviewed last week on John DeDakis’s podcast, called One-to-One with John DeDakis. John is an award-winning novelist, writing coach, and manuscript editor, as well as a former editor on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." He is the author of five mystery-suspense-thriller novels. In his most recent novel, FAKE, protagonist Lark Chadwick is a White House correspondent defending against “fake news” in the era of #MeToo.

DeDakis, a former White House correspondent, regularly leads writing workshops at literary centers and writers’ conferences. He is also the host of the video podcast “One-to-One with John DeDakis” on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Originally from La Crosse, Wisconsin, DeDakis now lives with his wife Cindy in Baltimore, Maryland. In his spare time, what little he has of it, DeDakis is a jazz and rock-and-roll drummer.

We had a great conversation ranging from writing and publishing to dogs to religion, and I enjoyed talking to him a great deal!

You can watch the recording of the video on YouTube if interested (and at 2x speed, if you watch videos the way I do haha).

Thanks for watching!
