My Books
MY FIRST BOOK:
THE EYE FILES
Inside a small, windowless room, major CEOs plot to kidnap and kill the President of the United States with the aid of an international assassin. A sociopathic, look-alike imposter is inserted in his place, someone with his own agenda.
Dr. Zach Webster, a Washington DC eye surgeon, notices a suspicious difference in the President’s eye exam and becomes a target. Along with the President’s daughter, Sarah, he must evade multiple assassins to discover the truth.
Their journey takes them from Maine to California, to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and eventually to an abandoned coal mine in West Virginia.
Zach is a complex character, an eye surgeon with excellent training, but with a troubled past, having been fired from his practice in New Hampshire. He suffers from acrophobia, a fear of heights.
Like Zach, I am an ophthalmologist from New Hampshire. Unlike him, I have an excellent marriage, have never been an alcoholic (although I do enjoy my one glass of wine each evening!), and do not have a fear of heights. However, like Sarah in the novel, I do have a fear of tight spaces, claustrophobia, which I first noticed on the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Zach’s encounter with Matilda Patterson, an elderly patient following cataract surgery (Chapter 3), is one that happened to me during residency. My patient actually screamed, “Put the cataract back,” on seeing her new husband for the first time. I don’t think she really meant it!
MY Second BOOK:
Work In Progress
The Coronado Company was a group of former high school students and a teacher from Coronado, California, who ran a successful drug smuggling ring in the 1970’s. Knowledge of their history sets the destiny for another young man from Coronado, years later. Unlike the original Coronado Company, he has no qualms using violence to achieve his aims.
As President Peterman’s deceased son is implicated in the drug ring, Sarah and Zach work to clear his name. In doing so, they themselves become targets. Stay tuned…
