kc dyer talks to Anthony Dalton about how he was blind-sided when he was researching his biography of Tristan Jones, arguably the most success nautical author of the 20th century and whose work Dalton was a fan. Dalton said, "I had no idea until the first year of research was over. I was in New York when I discovered that I was writing the wrong book." He also talks about his writing process and gives us a trick that gets him past writer's block.
