I had what I considered a near death experience. During that time, I decided that I did

not want to die without telling my story.

Absolutely but I believe my memoir will help more people than it will offend.

As much as possible, I like to be in control of my destiny. Self-publishing allowed me to

control the narrative and distribution of my book, in a predetermined timeframe.

That’s a complicated question with an equally complicated answer. Yes, I have regrets

about some of the decisions I made but if I were placed in the same circumstances in an

alternate reality, I would probably make many of the same choices.
