SPEAKER: Eliot Pattison has been described as a "writer of faraway mysteries," a label particularly apt for someone whose travel and interests span a million miles of global trekking. An international lawyer by training, he is the author of three acclaimed mystery series. His Edgar award-winning Inspector Shan series explores his deep concerns for the people of Tibet and has been translated into over twenty languages a
round the world. Pattison’s most recent release, Soul of the Fire, eighth book in the Inspector Shan series, has been selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the twenty best mysteries of 2014. For more information, visit: www.eliotpattison.com
WORKSHOPDESCRIPTION : “Bringing Faraway Lands to Life”: Histories and news reports about peoples distant in place and time might capture the facts, but can be sterile and impersonal. When done well, a novel can transport readers to the stark realities of those lives, allowing them to experience those lands and that adversity on a much more personal, even visceral, level. Join author Eliot Pattison as he shares from his own vast experience the challenges and principles of bringing exotic locations and distant historical times to life for readers, a necessary skill whether writing fiction or non-fiction.
