What if an ex-CIA agent looked at all the potential evil in world politics and decided to turn his imagination toward writing fiction thrillers? How real would those books feel as you’re reading them? How close to real could they be? Well, there is someone like that and his name is Barry Eisler and he now makes his living as a bestselling author writing sexy thrillers.
Barry talks about his life, his characters and his books one-on-one with Reader’s Entertainment. This is one you don’t want to miss!
Bio from Barry’s site- Barry Eisler spent three years in a covert position with the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, then worked as a technology lawyer and startup executive in Silicon Valley and Japan, earning his black belt at the Kodokan International Judo Center along the way.
