Read the first chapter of OF FLESH AND BLOOD now!

 

 Dear Reader,

 

                 I believe OF FLESH AND BLOOD is a book I was destined to write. And I am thrilled for the opportunity to share it with you.

                 OF FLESH AND BLOOD tells the story of a hospital—a non-profit “West Coast Mayo Clinic” with a heart and soul—built and nurtured over a century by two, oftentimes warring, families.

Today, the Alfredson Medical Center is fighting for survival, while members of the two founding families confront their own personal demons and professional crises. History, romance, deception, and life-and-death struggles factor into all.

                 The novel is a major departure for me—a meatier saga with a multi-generational cast consisting of deeper characters than I’ve ever drawn.

                 While the book is not autobiographical, in so many ways I have lived this story. Both my parents, my wife, my grandfather, my brother and numerous cousins are all in the “family biz”—medicine.

 As a fifteen-year veteran of the Emergency Room, I have worked through threats of hospital closure, epidemics, and personal and professional crises among colleagues. I breathed all of these elements into the story.

                 I hope you have a chance to read and enjoy it.

 

All the best,

Purchase OF FLESH AND BLOOD
