Finding Pattersby is a weird fiction mystery about a disgraced ghostwriter who uses his investigation of a legendary, missing thriller author to work through some stuff.
Also the ghostwriter’s a liar.
Join host Ryan Cervantes as he delves into the underworld of the suspense-thriller book industry and uncover the Truth behind Luke Pattersby’s mysterious disappearance.
Part travelogue, part horror story, all tongue-in-cheek mindbender, he’ll face a rogues gallery of eccentric authors, corporate monstrosities, dark academia and cultish readerships as Cervantes’ slice-of-life detective saga threatens to become the type of thriller novel he once wrote.
In other words: The following events are fake. The story however...is real.
New chapters release last Thursday of every month; bi-weekly updates in between.
Finding Pattersby is written, directed and produced by Ryan Sandoval with music and sound design by Erik Jourgensen. This podcast contains mature themes, explicit language, comedic references to body horror, violence, kidnapping, drowning, cult participation and death. Listener discretion is advised, full transcripts available at patterspod.com

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.

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.
