A historical novel based on the life of Mary Rowlandson 'An authentic drama of Indian captivity.A compelling, emotionally gripping tale.' —Eliot Pattison, author of the Mystery of Colonial America series She suspects that she has changed too much to ever fit easily into English society agai.
The fourth entry in the Bone Rattler series moves ever closer to the beginning of the American Revolution and advances the protagonist Duncan McCallum to 1765 and into the throes of the Stamp Tax dissent, which marked the beginning of organized resistance to English rule. As the story unfolds, Duncan is drawn into the mystery of ritualistic murders that are strangely connected to both the theft of an Iroquois artifact and an additional series of murders and kidnappings connecting to the network of secret runners supporting the nascent committees of correspondence'which are engaged in the first organized political dissent across colonial borders. In following the trail he encounters a powerful conspiracy of highly placed English aristocrats who are bent on crushing all dissent.
Duncan is captured by its agents, and sent into slavery in Virginia beside the kidnapped runners. Inspired by an aged native American slave and new African friends Duncan decides not just to escape but to turn their own intrigue against the London lords. Included in the novel's cast of characters are figures from our history who have their own destinies to fulfill in the next decade, including Benjamin Franklin (writing from London), Samuel Adams, the early Pennsylvania rebel James Smith, Dr. Benjamin Rush, and, very briefly, a soft spoken militia officer named Washington. The Blood of the Oak takes a fresh view on the birth of the new American nation, suggesting that the 'freedom' that became the centerpiece of the Revolution was uniquely American, rising not just from unprecedented political discourse but also from the extraordinary bond with the natural world experienced by frontier settlers and native tribes.

Both The Skull Mantra and Water Touching Stone were selected by Amazon.com for its annual list of ten best new mysteries. 'Daniele wrote: 'Hello, Eliot.Will there be more books in this series?

Daniele-Thanks for your message. I am just finishing up another of my Shan novels and then I will start writing another of the Bone Rattler novels.
I am looking forward to it-I will really enjoy another journey with Duncan and Conawago. If you enjoy these you might try one of my Shan novels; they share a lot of elements and the relationship of Shan and Lokesh is a lot like that of Duncan and Conawago.Eliot'.

How much of yourself is in each character and do you consciously create a character with certain traits in mind or does each characte.' I think undoubtedly every novelist puts something of himself/herself in their characters but certainly there are many more factors that enter into the creation of characters-I have murdering shiftless liars in my books but that doesn't mean I am one.
When I create a character it is for a reason-to drive the plot, to stir some thought-provoking theme, to provide friction for the development of the main characters. That means I do have something of a skeletal view of each character but without question each evolves as they interact, each builds flesh as the novel builds. As I have said many times, each novel I write is a journey with my characters and sometimes my characters take me to unexpected places. Writing Ashes of the Earth made the apocalypse for me disturbingly real because the characters were my close companions for many months.Eliot'.

Eliot Pattison Ebook Francais Site
I have never found just one map that I can use for all purposes. Anything that has been touched by the Chinese government is questionable since their maps go through political censorship and also include primarily the government's Chinese names so that traditional Tibetan names are lost. For example, millions of Tibetans came from Amdo, a province of Tibet, and my characters often speak of that land-but you will never find it on a Chinese map. For general purposes I find the National Geographic maps to be the best.
I also have some maps from the 1940's I use.Eliot'. 'Jill wrote: 'Hi Eliot -I really liked Ashes of the Earth. I have to admit that it gave me nightmares:-) But in a good way. The setting was so vivid.

Jill-Thanks for the message and kind words about Ashes. You mention nightmares-during the last few weeks of writing the book I had post-apocalyptic dreams almost every night; some I would call nightmares but others were just intriguing.I always try to have my physical backdrops play a role, almost like that of a character, in my books. A lot of factors went into my decsion to set it on the Great Lakes-I needed somewhere remote enough to plausibly escape the destruction, rich enough in natural resources to support new, albeit primitive, industry, and somewhere where water transportation would be readily available since long distance roads are a thing of the past. And I have always admired the beauty of those big lakes.best,Eliot'. 'Maxine-Thanks for your interest. Ashes is my ninth novel and if you enjoyed you should try some of the others since they have a lot of themes in comm Maxine-Thanks for your interest.
Ashes is my ninth novel and if you enjoyed you should try some of the others since they have a lot of themes in common-all of them feature people or peoples who have been outcast or abandoned by their society (in Ashes their society was destroyed) and who have to find their own form of justice when faced with crimes.Writing Ashes was quite an adventure. On the one hand an author setting his book in the future has something of a blank slate to work with in terms of backdrop but the setting and story still have to have an air of authenticity to resonate with readers. I wanted some extrapolation of science but I didn't want it to be science fiction. I wanted to include some whimsical, unorthodox characters but did not want it to be fantasy. I am glad you enjoyed the endproduct.Eliot'.
