BRAVA Creative is pretty lucky – and by default, so is everyone in San Diego and Los Angeles. We got to manage his book tour and you’ll get to meet him! As an author, journalist and former White House Correspondent, John has stories to tell.

There’s no cost to attend the events, but you’ll leave enriched.

John DeDakis (pronounced Deh-DAY-kiss) is a former editor on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.” DeDakis, the author of three mystery-suspense novels, is a manuscript editor, writing workshop leader, and public speaker. During his nearly 45-year, award-winning career in journalism (25 years at CNN), DeDakis was a White House Correspondent and interviewed such luminaries as Alfred Hitchcock, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan. He lives in Washington, D.C. and teaches journalism at The University of Maryland – College Park.
