Rasco From RIF

It’s DAY SIX of 28 DAYS LATER!

February 6th, 2010

ACTION ALERT!
See my statement regarding RIF’s elimination from the federal budget as proposed by the President.  Act Now! Reinstate RIF’s Funding. Without it, more than 4.4 million children will not receive free books and reading encouragement.

  It’s Day Six at The Brown Bookshelf’s 28 Days Later and what a fascinating guy is featured….Dwayne Ferguson, also known as Hunter Wolf. 

How do I say it other than this guy is some kind of fascinating!   He is the creator of the Kid Caramel chapter book series, has done art work for numerous studios for television and publishing houses, owns a comic book series, is a professionally trained voice actor, produces technology tutorial videos, writes technology books and produces animated films to name a few of his outputs!  Currently he is producing in the animated film category a re-imagining of Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart.  He says “I love technology. I am a total geek.”

So what is he not?  He is not fond of his given name, Dwayne Ferguson, thinks it sounds like a lawyer or accountant and thus Hunter Wolf is his name.  And he is not unclear on his advice to young people who aspire to be writers:  “…to be a better writer, you read more….Expand your knowledge of the world.”

And how does he feel he has been so successful?  “I make sure to be dangerous in whatever I put my mind to.  Not okay, not good, not proficient, but dangerous…..Competition doesn’t scare me.  Competition motivates me.”

Terrific interview by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich  and great words of wisdom from Hunter Wolf.  There is so much more about Hunter you need to know, hurry over to The Brown Bookshelf and read the full interview!

Happy Reading!
