Poisoned pen. Its sunday, october the 12th, and im delighted to welcome back Barrett Tillman who has written over 40 books, most of them, i think nonfiction, but i know you have been here didnt you cowrite something with dean coontz wasnt it . Koonts was it . Were you kind of the expert . With steve i contributed to two original fiction anthologies at his request. Steve had just been a marvelous friend and colleague and in 1984 our mutual publisher Naval Institute press, had sent me a manuscript written by a vietnam war aviator could for each other. And the publisher asked my opinion, and i said this book so good if you dont publish it, i will. And the next year it was published as flight of the intruder.

So as a reporter that is an interesting thing to write on because you have what i call green on green violence. Environmentalists who are all in favor of Renewable Energy wind power and another kind of environmentalists who are for maintaining what they call view sheds which are your view, and so lawyers get hired, that is where i write about this kind of interesting contentious moments.
