Author Bio:
I currently live in Virginia with my wife. I obtained my medical training in Arkansas in the 1960s, where I practiced and taught internal medicine and nephrology. I was a clinician, teacher, and medical researcher in Veterans Health Affairs for 23 years before I was asked to assume responsibility for directing the national system program of quality development.
I worked in health care systems in the Mid-West and Mid-Atlantic regions and have consulted on health care and performance improvement in individual hospitals and medical centers from Maine to Florida, Denver, the West Coast, and Hawaii.
After I was diagnosed with lymphoma, I wrote seven top mystery books to preserve my cognitive ability during chemotherapy. My experience in my academic career in health care provided many examples of how the health care system could be dangerously manipulated, which provided the basis for the plots and characters of these top mystery books.
