Episode 69 is Boo Walker
Bestselling author Boo Walker initially tapped his creative muse as a songwriter and banjoist in Nashville before working his way west to Washington State, where he bought a gentleman’s farm on the Yakima River. It was there amongst the grapevines and wine barrels that he fell in love with telling high-impact stories that now resonate with book clubs around the world. Rich with colorful characters and boundless soul, his novels will leave you with an open heart and a lifted spirit.
Always a wanderer, Boo currently lives in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, with his wife and son. He also writes thrillers under the pen name Benjamin Blackmore. You can find him at boowalker.com and benjaminblackmore.com.
In this episode, we talked about his research and time in Spain during the quarantine, the experience of writing a location that he’s not native to, and the health benefits of good olive oil. We also discussed his nomadic life, his journey as a musician to writer and meeting his dark night of the soul. We also delved into how to describe his fiction, the intensity of deadlines, and challenging oneself as an author.
