Friday, July 25, 2003 The IWJ Features Interviews With Eliot Pattison and Steve Hamilton The June/July issue of The Internet Writing Journal features an interview with critically acclaimed novelist Eliot Pattison, author of The Skull Mantra (St. Martin's Minotaur) and Bone Mountain (St. Martin's Press). Eliot Pattison already had a successful career as an international attorney when he began writing fiction, inspired by his many visits to China and Tibet. His first novel, The Skull Mantra (St. Martin's Minotaur), won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, received rave reviews from critics and launched a new series. In this exclusive interview he talks about the latest novel, Bone Mountain (St. Martin's Minotaur), and how his travels to Chinese-occupied Tibet have changed his life. The June/July issue also features an interview with bestselling novelist Steve Hamilton, author of A Cold Day in Paradise (St. Martin's Minotaur) and Blood is the Sky (St. Martin's Minotaur). An information developer for IBM for nineteen years, Steve Hamilton always had a secret longing to write fiction. His first book, A Cold Day in Paradise won the PWA/St. Martin's Press Best First Private Eye Novel Contest, and went on to win both the Edgar and the Shamus awards, as well. Now he juggles two careers, while writing his bestselling series about an ex-cop, Alex McKnight, who lives in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In the interview, Steve Hamilton discusses his latest novel, Blood is the Sky (St. Martin's Minotaur), and how he manages to keep two successful careers going at the same time. This issue's articles include: "The Novice Screenwriter Refuses to Conform" by British novelist Alex Keegan, "The Power of Repetition" by syndicated radio show host and CEO of CQK Music & Records, Mary Dawson; "Frozen Ideas" by Australian children's author Hazel Edwards and "Eight Tips For Getting Published in Magazines" by Gary Bell.
