                                  Greetings and welcome to all readers!

Let me introduce myself.  I am a physician-turned-author who sprinkles interesting, credible medicine into the background of my storylines.  However, that doesn't take center stage to my plots or vivid characters.
Another thread you will find in my writing is dogs.  There will be at least one four-legger as a main character, especially since I own a few and have made one a star in a children's book series called Chester the Chesapeake.

Please enjoy my romantic suspense, general fiction, medical dramas, and children's books, and enjoy the "live" video below!  I also have a new book available on the next page for those of us over fifty!

My first novel is a medical romantic suspense:  Operation Neurosurgeon: You never know ...who's in the OR.  Here is the synopsis followed by a Red Adept Review, the critical, in-depth eBook reviewer:

Who says a rising neurosurgeon can’t fall from his pinnacle?  From the skullduggery taking place deep in the Tennessee woods to the silent tension in the OR, Doctor Danny Tilson’s life takes an abrupt turn after performing surgery alongside a scrub nurse with aqua eyes and a velvet voice.

Can Danny’s situation get any worse after the alluring lady disappears, he inherits her roguish retriever, and his Albert Einstein historical book turns up missing? A pack of Tennessee attorneys pursue Danny while he develops a scheme with his paramedic best friend to payback the mysterious woman who left in a hurry.


Review:

Red Adept Overall Review:  4 1/2 STARS out of 5.
"Operation Neurosurgeon is a marvelous story about the rise and fall of a fictional neurosurgeon
in Nashville, Tennessee."

Plot/Storyline: 4 3/4 STARS
"Operation Neurosurgeon was a cautionary tale of how one man's momentarylapse in judgmentled to his downfall and the devastating effects on his family.Danny Tilson was a good man anda good doctor, but, as his attorney told him later,"A man's downfall comes from his crotch."  ...."The ending of the story was well done and was very satisfying. Instead of everythinggoing to hell for Danny, therewas at least some ray of hope for him at the end."

Characters: 5 STARS
"Although the story was largely plot-driven, there were several well-developed characters...."   "One of my favorite characters was Dakota, a Chesapeake Retriever  who had a personalityall his own. He was the kind of dog that any dog-lover would love to have - most of the time!"

So sink into a relaxing recliner, grab a cup of virtual coffee, and take a peek,

Outcome: A Novel: There's more than a hurricane coming...

After an introduction from Sandy, here's a "live" author interview about Outcome, A Novel.
Yes, those are hummingbirds swirling around in the background.

Synopsis:

Hurricane Ivan roars into the Gulf of Mexico as Karen Puno and her dog scramble to evacuate a barrier island in Florida and a teacher with end-stage liver disease is placed on an organ transplant list in Indiana.  But fate is not always kind.  It's not the hurricane which causes Karen's coma and subsequent organ donation. Nor is it responsible for her battered dog who escapes the crushed metal pile into the blowing sand and gusty wind.


After the storm makes landfall, the weather worsens inland as the pilot must fly the transplant team to harvest Karen's organs. But fate is not always kind. It's not the tension in the cockpit from her front seat passenger nor the weather which causes her to abort her takeoff.

A homeless dog and divergent lives from Indiana to Peru come together after Karen's accident and
impact each other in permanent, intense, and heartfelt ways.  Perhaps fate is kind after all.

It's hurricane season and Hurricane Ivan is bearing down on Karen Puno as she scrambles to flee to safety with her Labrador Retriever.  But that's only the beginning of her troubles.  Then there is the problem of harvesting organs for transplant and a cascading medical crisis, two teenagers discovering love amidst a hurricane's destructive course, and the fate of a battered dog almost crushed by the hurricane's debris.

A unique work of fiction by a master storyteller, "Outcome" is a deftly written novel that will engage the reader's total attention from beginning to end, making it highly recommended.

Outcome is a book that is difficult to place in any given genre, because it touches
so many aspects of life and of the human soul.
Decidedly a good reading, a book hard to put down, fully worth a five star review.
