The Wandering Scribe Author Interview: Historical Fiction and Fantasy Author Baptiste Pinson Wu

Welcome back, fellow authors, to an extraordinary author interview. Today, we have a returning guest making their second debut on the show, my good friend Baptiste.

Because life’s nothing without a good challenge, Baptiste decided to ditch regular-paying jobs to become an author, write on tremendously popular topics like Ancient China or Samurai fighting Zombies, and publish all those nerdy historical fiction novels from Japan. To preserve what’s left of his sanity, Baptiste spends great chunks of time visiting historical sites, bothering his Chinese wife with questions related to her culture she has no answer to, and wrestling with two untirable creatures called children, who, he believes, have been sent on earth to test the limits of his previously mentioned sanity.

When all these fail, coffee, whiskey, a fuming bowl of ramen, or an episode of his favorite historical drama (currently Shōgun) do the trick.

​His novels contain action, grumpy characters, brotherly love, and many blades. They are set in ancient, brutal times where martial skills, stubbornness, and an appetite for trouble guarantee bloody adventures that might shift the future of a realm or two.

In this episode, Baptiste and I discuss the new projects he has worked on since our last interview a year ago, what he has learned as an author thus far, and his plans for the future.
