In this episode, the indefinable Dan Wells (the John Cleaver series, Partials, the Hollow City) chats about why not being bogged down by genre is a good thing. Then Ben and Guillermo catch up. Write!

Dan Wells (author of the John Cleaver series, Partials, and the Hollow City, just to name a few) stops by to talk to Ben and Guillermo about stuff! Not a whole lot of writing topics covered this time around (mostly just Ben making awkward statements about religion) but we will make up for that next week when we talk to Dan again (if he agrees to keep associating with us). Follow Dan on Twitter: @thedanwells and look at his shiny web site here: TheDanWells.com. Enjoy, and WRITE!

Aliette sits and talks with Ben and Guillermo one last time. They tackle the mystery of mystery and detective stories, paying special attention to how magic can affect the main character's detecting skills. Then Ben and Guillermo talk about killing off characters and the one character you NEVER want to kill off. Enjoy, and WRITE!
