Author2Author with Eliot Pattison

Bill welcomes novelist Eliot Pattison to the show. Pattison  has been described as a "writer of faraway mysteries," a label which is particularly apt for someone whose travel and interests span such a broad spectrum. After reaching a million miles of global trekking, visiting every continent but Antarctica, Pattison stopped logging his miles and set his compass for the unknown. In the late 1990's he decided to combine his deep concerns for the people of Tibet with his interest in venturing into fiction by writing The Skull Mantra, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Mystery. We will be discussing among other things, his most recent historical novel, Blood of the Oak. Don't miss it!
