As blogger Joel Friedlander comments, people who have just self-produced their first book have a lot of trouble visualizing just how to (a) get that book out onto the market, and (b) get that book noticed. Jacqueline, who began as a self-published author herself, and went on to publish books by other authors, describes her personal voyage, imparting many invaluable hints along the way.
What impressed me about this interview is that it was one-on-one, with Friedlander composing his questions in response to the previous answer. With remarkable skill, aided by an honest, experienced, and candid interviewee, he elicited a discourse of tremendous value to anyone who contemplates self-publishing a book. Better still, the information is as up-to-date as today's freshly baked bread.
And here (hot off the press) is the second instalment, which includes a commentary on the digital age.

Joan, Thanks for mentioning this interview on your blog. Jacqueline was very generous in answering my questions and provided a terrific amount of information on book distribution and best practices for self-publishers, and it was a joy to do it.
And it was my pleasure to blog about it.
