A Look At R. Arundel & 'The Face Transplant' #RArundel @GoddessFish #MedicalThriller

Today we have author R. Arundel visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?
* R. Arundel is a practising surgeon. This experience brings realism to the story. The novel asks what would happen if a surgeon were to develop the perfect face transplant. This would allow people to have a new face, in essence create a new identity. You can create the perfect double, the perfect Doppelganger.

Today R. Arundel will be talking about what kind of writer he is.
* I am a fiction writer. I try to make my stories intricate, enjoyable and accessible reads. My writing style is minimalist. I try to use as few words as possible to convey the imagery or dialogue. I think writing is both a craft and an art. The craft can be taught and nurtured. Some great writers are able to rise above this to create art, something that is more than the sum of the parts. That’s the ultimate goal that all writers strive for, to create something special.
* My topics are driven by ideas that are generated by things I have thought about. The Face Transplant arose out of the thought “What would happen if you could transplant a face from one person to the next without any scars.” Most of my stories come from thinking about ideas. I then try to generate a story as the logical conclusion of thinking about this idea.
* I am a very opinionated writer with a strong sense of what I want to say. My characters or stories always have some large underlying theme that they illustrate. The downside of this morality is that my characters can be at times very conflicted but in the end choose the moral path. I’m unlikely to create a story of a flawed individual who doesn’t change throughout the story. The individual would have to come to some epiphany about life, have some insight into their behavior.
* I am a very optimistic writer. I believe in the best of individuals and the ability of all individuals to be better. In The Face Transplant, some of the characters involved in kidnapping Sarah Larsson are very evil. They are the exception that proves the rule. These characters don’t grow. Their depravity is limitless. I was surprised I created these characters, and it is not something I usually do. After I finished the story I was surprised at the evil in the kidnappers. I think they arose out of a need to counterbalance the goodness of Matthew and Sarah who sacrificed so much to help others.
* I have asked myself many times why do I write? I think in the end writers each have their own reasons for writing. I write because I have many different stories that I need to get out. It’s just that simple.
A look into...
~ Blurb ~
An epic journey of suspense, murder, and sacrifice
* Dr. Matthew MacAulay is a facial transplant surgeon at a prestigious New York hospital. When his friend and mentor, Tom Grabowski, dies under mysterious circumstances, Matthew uncovers his friend’s secret: a new technique that allows perfect facial transplants. No incisions, no scars. Tom was able to accomplish this monumental feat with the help of Alice, a supercomputer robot with almost human abilities. While trying to find the people responsible for murdering Tom, Matthew realizes he is the prime suspect. He must flee for his life with the help of Dr. Sarah Larsson, a colleague and reluctant helper, who has a secret of her own, and Alice, who helps them make sense of a baffling series of seemingly unrelated events. The clues carry Matthew and Sarah around the world. They stumble onto a sinister plot of monumental proportions that leads Matthew all the way to the White House.
* The Face Transplant is a powerful medical suspense thriller of the first order. The novel was written by a surgeon who weaves politics, medicine, and espionage into a tightly paced, intelligent thriller.
~ Excerpt ~
* Matthew, “Sarah, I know. The tremors, the leg weakness. I put it all together. ALS.”
* “My Sherlock Holmes at work again.” Sarah laughs.
* “I know and I don’t care.”
* Sarah smiles at Matthew. “Do you know what you’re saying?” “ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. A progressive neuro-muscular disorder with no cure. You will stop walking one day, and finally, you will lose control of all your muscles.”
* “Not bad, Holmes.”
* “We surgeons aren’t as thick as you think.”
* “Then you know I don’t have long.” Sarah punches in the code to lock the anesthetic machine.
* “I don’t care. I need you,” says Matthew.
* “You know what my life will be very soon, how it is going to end.”
* “I don’t care. I have to take a chance—I have to live. Give me that chance.”
* “In the end I would regret doing that to you. I refuse to have you look after me in the prime of your life. I’m going to be on a ventilator, not able to move any muscle in my body. I’m going to end up being only able to use my eyes. Totally locked in a useless body.”

A Look At Nana Prah & 'Destiny Mine' @NanaPrah @decadentpub @LoveBitesSilk #multicultural

Destiny Mine by Nana Prah
Destiny series book 2
Published by +Decadent Publishing
Genre: contemporary, medical, multicultural romance
Add to Goodreads
A look into the story
Top 10 facts about Dr. Adam Quarshie, the hero of Destiny Mine. The second book in the Destiny Series.
1. If you read Midwife to Destiny you may not have liked him very much, at least in the beginning
2. He possesses more arrogance in his eyebrows than most men do in their entire bodies. He knows it and will never apologize for it
3. Women love him just as much as he loves them
4. An event in his past made him the womanizer that he is today
5. No one can have a more loyal friend than him
6. He’s intelligent and a fast thinker
7. Charming – that one word is all I need
8. He’s an alpha to the core, yet has a soft pushover side to him
9. His one major secret will have the reader saying, “Awww”
10. He’s the quintessential man, but if you’re not Esi Darfour, you don’t have a chance of keeping him for more than a night
~ Blurb ~
* Extraordinary midwife, Esi Darfour, is looking to get married. She’s a master matchmaker but has no luck when it comes to her love life and has yet to find a man worthy of her. Until she has to deal with gorgeous Dr. Adam Quarshie outside of work.
* Adam is a player who refuses to get married—ever. His interest lies more in getting her into bed than in having any kind of committed relationship. Esi’s matchmaker instincts warn her to run in the other direction as quickly as possible, but her heart insists she stay…get closer…and see if what they feel for each other can change his mind.
* Her gaze travelled down his muscular body. Unlike many of the other doctors who tended to gain a belly as they grew older and settled into the comforts of married life, Adam Quarshie could overshadow any man in his late twenties. His stomach had remained flat and his muscles strained against his yellow button-down shirt when he moved.
* She took her time raking her gaze up his body and to his face. Her gasp of embarrassment stuck in her throat as her eyes met his.
* Why did he have to have such an adorable grin? God could’ve at least rotted his teeth to save the hearts of women all over Ghana.
* “See something you like, Esi?”
* She cleared her throat. “Yes, I do. Your shoes are nice. Where can I get a pair for my brother?”
* He chuckled. “My shoes. Hmm. I got them on Oxford Street in Osu.”
* “Thanks.”
* He moved towards her, and she refused to step back as he crowded her. He smelled amazing, like he was fresh from a shower. She struggled not to move closer or inhale deeper.
* “Or I could take you.” His voice came out soft yet had a distinct rumble.
* Did the man not know how to be anything but seductive?
* If she checked her pulse, she knew it would be way above the normal range. She snorted as she stepped around him and went to the patient’s bedside. “I’m going home. You did a great job.” She tilted her head to view the child’s face cradled in the new mother’s arms then smiled at the newborn’s mother. “You were able to gather the strength to push the baby out. You are a strong woman, Ama.”
* The woman ducked her head. “Thank you.”
* Esi turned to Adam, not bothering to hide her annoyance. “Are there any other patients you want to see?”
* “I’ll come back to do ward rounds later. How about going to Osu?”
* “I’d rather…rather….” Fatigue had blocked her brain. Later on in the day, long after it was too late, she’d think of any number of things she could have said to put him in his place.
* He raised an eyebrow. Their perfect arch sat over slanted dark brown eyes.
* “You’d rather what?”
* “Eat a live snail.”
* He scrunched his face. “Disgusting. No Osu for you, then. Next time, I’ll ask to take you somewhere that won’t make you prefer eating something raw and slimy over hanging out with me.”
* “No such place exists, Quarshie.” They walked, rather, she stalked while he strutted, down the hallway towards the nurse’s station.
* “I’m sure there is somewhere, and one day I’m going to take you there.”
* She didn’t bother to look at him. “In your dreams.”
* He winked. “Always in my dreams.”
* Her heart skipped a beat as Sade’s classic song “Smooth Operator” came to mind. She regarded him through narrowed eyes as he headed towards the door. His heartbreaking ways didn’t appeal to her at all. Everyone knew relationships weren’t his thing. She’d never even consider going out on a date with him. She knew too many casualties of his charm. The type of guy who would go to all sorts of lengths to get a woman on his radar. Once he caught and used her, he moved to the next one…or two. After having once dated a womanizer, she wouldn’t subject herself to that kind of man again.
* No way. Not her. Never.
* Nana Prah is a multi-published author of contemporary, multicultural romance. Her books are sweet with a touch of spice. When she’s not writing she’s reading, indulging in chocolate, and enjoying life with friends and family.

Welcome special guest: author David Gelber ~ @DavidGelberMD @GoddessFish #shortstories #medical

Those who know me, know I am a very eclectic reader, and I like to highlight a variety of authors on my blog. Today I'm happy to welcome author David Gelber.
What would you like to tell readers about yourself?
* David Gelber, a New York native, is the seventh of nine sons and one of three to pursue medicine. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1980 and went on to graduate medical school in 1984 from the University of Rochester.
* He completed a residency in General Surgery at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and Nassau County Medical Center on Long Island, NY, in 1989. Dr. Gelber now is in private practice in Houston, TX.
* Gelber has been performing surgery for more than 25 years, but over the last few years he began to pursue his passion for writing, initially with his debut novel, "Future Hope", followed by its sequel “Joshua and Aaron.”
* These were followed by two books about surgery “Behind the Mask” and “Under the Drapes.” The apocalyptic “Last Light” and historical fantasy “Minotaur Revisited” round out his published works, while numerous articles have appeared on his blog “Heard in the OR.”
* Now he presents “Little Bit’s Story” and his collection of magical medical short stories, “Night Clinic.”
* He has been married to Laura for 28 years and has three college aged children. He and Laura share their home with five dogs and numerous birds.

So, David Gelber, what/who inspired you to become a writer?
* No individual inspired me to become a writer. In my younger days I used to do a little writing, but college professors my freshman year worked overtime to discourage me from pursuing a writing career. I decided to take the easy way out and became a surgeon instead. Years passed and I kept having this idea for a character in a story. In 2006 I started my first book, “Future Hope: ITP Book One” which introduced the character, Joshua Smith, in an important supporting role. He took center stage in the sequel, “Joshua and Aaron: ITP Book Two,” and will continue to a central character in the concluding book to the ITP series, that is, if I can evere get my act together and finish writing it.

When did you attempt your first story? What length was it? What's become of it?
* The first story I ever wrote was “The Rise and Fall of Poor Luck High School.” This was a satire on high school days which I wrote in my senior year. My teacher liked it and kept it. I don’t know where it ended up. This story was about twenty pages long, written long hand in 1976.

How many stories did you complete before you sold your first?
* Being the lazy person that I am, I have never really “sold” a story. My books are published by my own company, Ruffian Press, named after the greatest thoroughbred filly ever to live. I have had some of my surgical articles published on the web sites “KevinMD” and “Onsurg.”

What are the best and worst pieces of writing advice you ever received?
* My wife told me to write about something I know about, which prompted me to write two books about surgery which sell fairly well online. I think her advice is both the best and worst I’ve had. This is mostly due to the fact that her words are the only advice anyone has ever given me on writing.

The book you’re promoting, is it a stand-alone story or part of a series?
* “Night Clinic” is a series of short stories which build upon each other. It is best to read them in order, but each story does stand alone. There are plot lines that appear in various stories which is why it is best to read them in order.

What sparked the idea for the story/series?
* I had written an article, “Monsters and Heros,” for my blog “Heard in the OR,” which speculated on the medical problems a doctor might confront if his patient population included superheros, such as Spiderman or the Fantastic four, and Monsters, such as Frankenstein’s monster or the Blob. This article can be read at: http://heardintheor.blogspot.com/2011/03/monsters-and-heroes.html
* I did wrote a second article along these lines: http://heardintheor.blogspot.com/2012/08/monsters-and-heroes-part-2.html
* After these two articles I had the idea for the “Night Clinic” stories which are set in a clinic in an unnamed city where regular patients are seen along with a steady stream of “different, unusual” patients.

*** Now for some fun info… ***
Would you/have you own(ed) a snake or some other exotic pet?
* I have never owned a snake. The most exotic pet I’ve ever had is an Eclectus parrot, who still lives with me, Isaac. He talks a bit, sounds just like me.

Which do you prefer: rain or sun & warm weather or cold weather?
* Sunny warm weather, although I can’t stay out in the sun for very long because I burn very easily. In my younger days I was on vacation in Florida. Some of the other vacationers could not understand why I was wearing a long sleeve shirt on the beach. I had no choice because I burn so badly. But, I hate the cold.

If you could live anywhere in the universe, where would it be and why?
* Garden of Eden. No worries, only one rule, everything given to me without any expectation for anything in return except love.

If you were stranded on a desert island and were only allowed to have five modern conveniences with you, what would they be?
* Flush toilet and toilet paper; Generous supply of toothpaste and toothbrushes; Matches; A handbook of Practical Shipbuilding; Saw

*** About David Gelber’s book… ***
~ Blurb ~
* "Night Clinic" is a collection of short stories which tell the unusual events which occur at the free clinic attended by Dr. Barnes and Nurse James. Monsters, magical beasts, villains along with ordinary folks come to the clinic looking for health and hope.
* "Night Clinic" is a unique melding of medicine and magic.
~ Excerpt ~
* “Speaking of bizarre and crazy, you are aware that the Intergalactic Convention is in town again? Star Trek, Star Wars, and every other outer space franchise all together. So I’m sure we’ll get our share of phaser burns, blaster bruises, and transporter malfunctions. Oh, and to get us off on the right foot, Derek is back with his annual ‘Trouble with Tribbles.’ I’ve left all the usual instruments in the room for you.”
* “Not again,” I moaned. “You would think that after four, no five years, he would learn.”
* I picked up the chart and gave it a careless glance. Before I saw the words I knew the problem. I walked into the exam room and saw Derek, a regular visitor, lying on his side on the exam table. Seated on a sterile tray were a rigid sigmoidoscope and a tenaculum.
* “Derek, we’ve got to stop meeting like this,” I scolded. “And think of the poor Tribbles. They’re supposed to be comforting, I know, but you’re just supposed to hold them.”
* “I do hold them, Dr. Barnes; for a little while. But, the way they coo and vibrate and shake, the possibilities are endless.”
* “I hope it’s as simple as last year,” I remarked.
* I put on a glove and lubed up my index finger and checked up in Derek’s rectum. Sure enough there was a furry object vibrating just inside. Past experience told me not to try to grab it with my hand; it would just slip away. I greased up the scope and passed it into his rectum. Immediately I visualized a furry yellow ball which was shaking and making low Tribble noises. I reached in with the tenaculum and grabbed the object in its mid portion like a pro and pulled scope and tenaculum out with a single, gentle pull. The Tribble, which was a toy available at the convention, popped out
* “Just one this year?” I asked, although I already knew there would be more.
* “No, three,” he replied.
* I repeated the routine, pulling out one purple and one red Trib¬ble, both larger that the first and still vibrating.
* “I’ll dispose of these for you, Derek. And, please, stay away from Tribbles. You know they’re nothing but trouble.”
* He gave a short grunt as I walked out of the exam room.
* “What’s next, Nurse?”

Balancing Life and Writing w. R. Arundel @TheFaceTranspla @GoddessFish #thriller #medical

Today we have author R. Arundel visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?
* Robert was born in London, United Kingdom. His early formative years were spent in Toronto Canada. Robert attended the University of Toronto Medical School. After obtaining his Doctor of Medicine degree he completed surgical training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Toronto and obtained certification from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Robert Mounsey practices surgery in private practice in Toronto.
* R. Arundel studied Film Studies at Ryerson University, after this he began writing screenplays and novels. The Face Transplant is his debut novel.
* R. Arundel is married and lives in Toronto, Canada. When not writing or practicing surgery Robert can be found cycling.

What are you going to tell us about today?
* About balancing life and writing and my story The Face Transplant.
* I maintain a very busy schedule as a facial plastic surgeon. However, I do not have difficulty finding time to write. I have constant ideas around the project I am writing (I always have a project on the go) and new thoughts about concepts I would like to explore. I think everyone has the same challenges in a work/life balance. The stay at home mother with two young children has a far more hectic time than most people who complain that writing is too difficult or that their job keeps them from writing. If you have a need to write then you will find a way to write. This is very similar to my friends who are ardent runners. On a cold or rainy day when I will say it's a great day not to go out for a run, they will say it's a perfect day to run.
* I personally cannot write quality material or structure a story properly if I spend too long writing. After a certain amount of time the mind wanders and fatigue sets in. Having a marathon writing session may seem like you are accomplishing more, but in reality the quality will diminish. It is far preferable to write shorter bursts of stuff that later when you read it you are satisfied, than to write a hundred pages and then the next day you need to come back and re write the entire thing because the writing is far inferior.
* I have many diverse interests and other activities to give me a break from writing. Taking time away from writing to enjoy other activities benefits my writing I avoid forcing myself to write a certain amount each day. If the ideas flow, then I write. If not, I don't write. I think that my subconscious always is working on my book and when I have something to write, I'll write.

A look into the story
~ Blurb ~
* Dr. Matthew MacAulay is a Facial Transplant Surgeon at a prestigious New York hospital. His friend and mentor, Tom Grabowski, dies under mysterious circumstances. Matthew is forced to investigate. He uncovers his friend’s secret. A new technique that allows perfect facial transplants. No incisions, no scars. The surgeon is able to transplant one person’s face to another with the perfect result. Tom was able to accomplish this monumental feat with the help of Alice, a supercomputer robot with almost human abilities.
* While trying to find the people responsible for murdering his friend Tom, Matthew realizes he is the prime suspect. Matthew must flee for his life with the help of Dr. Sarah Larsson, a colleague and reluctant helper who has a secret of her own. Alice helps them make sense of a baffling series of seemingly unrelated events. Matthew is forced to undergo a facial transplant to hide his identity and help to uncover the truth.
* The clues carry Matthew and Sarah around the world. Matthew stumbles onto a sinister plot of monumental proportions, the real reason Tom was murdered. This discovery leads Matthew all the way to The White House with a dramatic conclusion. Matthew never wavers in his quest for the truth and perseveres against all the odds. He must race to stop a major catastrophe, ratcheting up the excitement until the thrilling conclusion.
* The Face Transplant is a powerful medical suspense thriller of the first order. The novel was written by a surgeon. The novel has a realism that only a surgeon can bring. The plot weaves politics, medicine and espionage into a tightly paced, intelligent thriller. The novel crescendos page by page to a totally unexpected conclusion.
~ Excerpt ~
* The missing face is found...
* The titanium canister slowly rose from the ground behind the glass door. When it finally stopped, two beeps were heard. Jason opened the glass door and took out the canister, a soft cold mist emanated from the canister. Maybe it was the temperature difference here, Matthew had never seen that when he brought up his canisters. The white mist slowly rose and then disappeared. Jason opened the titanium canister. As he had suspected, a red light began to flash. Matthew realized the canister had been altered. A signal was alerting someone that they had opened the canister.
* Jason, “Don’t worry, I anticipated this, the wall will not allow the signal to transmit, we’re safe.”
* Jason slowly removes the head from the canister. It is covered in what looks like a thin white cloth and wrapped precisely. Same technique used for all donor faces in the US. This face was harvested by Tom, no doubt about it. Slowly they unwrap the face.

What's your favorite line in the story?
* It is actually in my Excerpt below. Cruz points to himself in a mirror and thinks
* Who could resist this?
* My teenage son will point to himself and say, “How can you not love this?” And I thought (secret word #9: readers), that is exactly how my hero thinks! LOL

A look into the story
~ Blurb ~
* Focused on her career, Dr. JJ Jones doesn't have time to date—and she certainly doesn't want to date the "player" of the ER none other than her girlhood crush, Dr. Cruz Avery. JJ found out the hard way that romantic relationships in the work place don't mix forcing her to relocate back to Arizona and change jobs. She's determined to spend her free time enjoying her Harley, reading true-crime novels, and learning about the new community she lives in. Dogged by the gorgeous Dr. Avery with his skillful hands, disarming smile, and hot lips, her resolve wavers. For now, she's having fun making his mission to date her down right impossible!

~ Excerpt ~
* But damn if she wasn’t all prickly one minute and hot and yummy in his arms the next. His cock hardened and he shifted in his chair. Large almond-shaped green eyes, pink pouty lips, and that sexy belly button ring and tattoos. Cruz shook his head. JJ was definitely a mix of contradictions. She was all innocence and badass rolled into one. And smart.
* None of his usual bullshit lines would work with her. So how was he going to get past her no-dating-a-co-worker rule and find out if they had the possibility of a real future together? Christ, she was making this entire dating thing impossible. He rubbed the tense muscles of his neck.
* Sex two nights in a row doesn’t mean we are dating. Or in a relationship.
* Her words looped over and over against his skull and were the other reason why he couldn’t concentrate on jack-shit today. What he needed was a plan. But what?
* He sat up straighter in his leather chair. The kernel of an idea blossomed. What if she didn’t realize they were going out on dates? Yeah, baby. He liked the notion already. But he’d have to tread carefully. JJ was a clever girl. Cruz would just have to be one step ahead of her in order to make his plan work. And once she was hooked on him… He glanced at his reflection in the full-length mirror that hung on the back of his office door and pointed to himself. His lips curved into a perfect smile and he winked.
* Who could resist this?
