Originally from Boston where I received my AB in Liberal Arts, MD and PhD in medicine from Boston University. In the Navy I served during the Vietnam War and with the Army during Desert Storm. I practiced medicine and drug development research until retirement in 2009. My first novel THE EYEMAN and its sequel THE DUTY CREW reflected my Vietnam experience. THE HELIOS RAIN relates an Afghanistan veterans tribulations. THE ADJUSTMENT CLNIC details one of my observations of evil in the drug industry and THE MYOSIN FACTOR denotes what could happen to a drug with military potential. These and my other novels have a basis of fact and a background healthcare thread with a provocative fictional story line.
