In this episode, I talk with author Fred Rutman, AKA Repeatedly Dead Fred, about the writing and publishing journey of his harrowing and inspiring memoir, The Summer I Died Twenty Times. Fred shares what inspired him to write his memoir, the role resilience played, the benefits of networking with other authors and writers, and the two author secrets that no one really talks about.

I always find other people's writing journey's so fascinating, particularly when they're undertaken with such challenges as Fred has experienced. I really hope you enjoy this episode too.
