title: Tales of the Grove: Issue 1
author: Ben V Brick
description: Ben lives life to the fullest and takes on every challenge to create something new. He makes most of his best creations in his home office, overlooking the Missouri river with his three-legged cat Levi. Ben does most of his thinking chopping wood outside by a lit fire. This is where all the stories of the triumphant underdog inspire his imagination. Ben keeps an old soul feel to his favorite characters. Its set in a simpler time. Kids dont seem to be built like this anymore. I like to create a kid that I imagine my grandpa to be out on the farm. This book is his personal challenge for Inktober 2015. Every day of October Ben challenged himself to draw one page of his short story. Join Jesse and his dark journey through the forest in this suspenseful Tale of the Grove.
