Christian Austin is an author, musician and criminologist who spent years of his life incarcerated and addicted to drugs. His memoir, which took over five years to write, is an inspiring story of resilience and survival. We explore these themes as well as the universal challenges that new authors face, including connecting with an audience, common review scams, finding ARC readers and narrating your own audiobook. We also discuss finding meaning in life and the unique challenges and freedoms associated with living in a vehicle.
