Finding Pattersby
A weird fiction mystery about a disgraced ghostwriter who uses the public investigation of a legendary, missing thriller author to work through some stuff. Also the ghostwriter is a liar. Follow host Ryan Cervantes in this 10-part comic thriller set in the world of high stakes thriller publishing, as he enters a land of cultish fandoms and cut-throat literati; of secret societies with ancient coffee beans and occult writing exercises that pierce the veil and top the charts of novels sold in supermarkets and airport bookstores…OR DO THEY? That’s what host Cervantes aims to find out in this pot-boiler for the ears. But if he hopes to escape the same fate as his missing boss in this IRL thriller, he’ll have to draw on everything he knows about how to survive a very deadly bestseller.

PattersPod Book Club FREE GIVEAWAY

Sunday Mar 24, 2024
Announcement time!
Our Fiona Caruso voice actress is a book author named Lily Sparks and she has a cool as hell dystopian, YA sci-fi romance/adventure coming out called "The Merciless King of Moore High."
(You may know her from the beloved Teen Killers Club series).
Here is premise:
When all the adults in tiny Brockton, Connecticut morph into monsters overnight, the teens barricade themselves in their high schools and develop different societies.
Hard-partying Moore builds a neo-feudal society based on a popular video game where everyone goes out and slays the "dragons."
Prestigious magnet school Jefferson lives in the dark, sending out their athletes to raid for canned goods while their student council debates how to avoid starvation.
They know they must slay the monsters, or become them. But when these factions meet again after almost a year, they only want to conquer each other.
The Merciless King of Moore High comes out April 23, 2024. Pre-order today: https://a.co/d/7jCE0BI
Of course I’ve read this book. It’s really cool, it has teens and intrigue and romance but what I love about it is the emotion. This is respectable dystopian sci-fi packaged as a blockbuster.
Right now there is a Goodreads.com book giveaway going on for The Merciless King of Moore High. You can win one of 5 copies!
ENTER THE BOOK GIVEAWAY HERE: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/178619844-the-merciless-king-of-moore-high

The P-Files: TIME FOR A STORY RECAP
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Ahead of the upcoming release of Chapter 4: Part II this week, let's catch up with what's happened so far in the story.
Probably the most important thing to know is that Ryan wrote an ORIGINAL manuscript with mature tech themes set against the backdrop of Y2K titled "Overclock" that is not stolen.
Ryan's enterprising agent J. Jordan St. Avalon thinks "Overclock" might have legs and is currently reading it to see if Ryan deserves an invite back to the industry.
Ryan did not steal this idea from Lydia Graumann, the Head of the Luke Pattersby Official Fan Club. He read her manuscript (which she forgot to put her name on) but it reminded him of a desk-drawer novel he had already written that had a few *barely* similar details.
Did you know we are selling shirts: https://www.patterspod.com/
Y2K was a big event that affected many and we are still studying its effect on society.
Let's see what else? Ryan was shown a mysterious mansion owned by Tawny Gatherbrook - leader of The Children of the Thrill, the shadowy group of authors tacitly responsible for the disappearance of Luke Pattersby and the last person to see him alive Fiona Caruso.
Monomyth Publishing sponsors this group and it's fair to say that as far as this investigation goes, we haven't heard the last of this organization.
