Episode 10 - Blood for Blood with Ben Wolf

This week we interview Ben Wolf (who is, sadly, not an actual wolf). Ben doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, as he has authored vampire novels, children's novels, and, of course, westerns. He's also a flash-fiction magazine publisher, and a freelance editor. We got off on a rabbit trail faster then ever before (but hey, you interview a Wolf, you gotta expect them to chase rabbits.) After that, we did eventually get around to discussing I'd Punch a Lion in His Eye for You (or, for short, IPAL (not to be confused with an Apple product.)) We also discuss his Christian Horror book, Blood for Blood. This naturally lead to a discussion of the differences between writing children books and novels. We also learn that Ben is terrified of sharks (makes sense, Wolves are land animals, and sharks live in the water...) and how that ties into IPAL (see pages 17 and 18.) At some point here, Ben calls Aaron fabulously immature. (What? So I like kids books...) ... and then you'll never guess who Ben's favorite superhero is... Speaking of immature, who might wear a tutu??   Things we talked about: Ben Wolf I'd Punch a Lion In the Eye For You Blood For Blood ACFW Conferences Ben Powell (author and illustrator for Ben's children's book) Frank Peretti (The Oath) Robert Liparulo Tosca Lee Ted Dekker Randy Ingermanson (Writing Fiction for Dummies) Chris Morris, CPA.
