Interview with Rich Ehisen on The Open Mic
Rich Ehisen
Honestly, I didn’t launch the BAIPA author interview series as a way to promote myself, though I do sort of believe in karma, just not in a direct quid-pro-quo kind of way.
So it was a pleasant surprise to be contacted out of the blue by Sacramento writer and reporter Rich Ehisen for an interview about my writing and publishing adventures. (Or was all part of my devious master plan?)
Rich is a friend of my cousin Don Kehoe, who read and enjoyed “Bones in the Wash.”
We chatted on the phone in December, and he posted a distilled version of our wide-ranging conversation this morning — The Open Mic: A Few Words With “Wasted” Author John Byrne Barry
You can pass on the karma by following Rich on twitter.
And I’ll be back setting up author interviews in a few days.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
