X-ray techs Claire and Dani work at a hospital in Austin.
But when they x-ray patients of Dr. Richard Dortman, a renown spine surgeon, they discover evidence of patient harm... with no chance of reversing the injuries. In search of additional evidence, Claire happens upon a secret corridor. One that contains surveillance monitors from cameras placed around the hospital. As Claire watches the videos, she learns about the terrifying chain of events leading up to Dr. Dortman's surgical malpractice. When Claire is framed for a patient's death, she is confronted with a vast network of corruption in the hospital, and Dr. Richard Dortman's web of deceit slowly unravels. Then Claire uncovers the surgeon's motive and reveals the entire horrifying truth. "A riveting, white-knuckled tale set in the sometimes frightening world of medicine." - Kirkus Reviews"Time, Distance, and Shielding is an easy read with high-tension chapters and captivating scenes that left me wanting to know what happens next at nearly every turn. I recommend this book to any radiologic technologist who enjoys mystery novels, doesn't mind a little gore and enjoys progressive content." - Rebecca G. Hamm, Scanner Magazine What Amazon readers are saying about Time, Distance, and Shielding:
★★★★★ 'Loved this book. It combines all of the things I enjoy, radiology, teaching, and thrillers. I highly recommend to any X-Ray tech or tech in training. The suspense kept me interested from start to finish.'
★★★★★ 'I know these people, having worked with techs for 42 years. This story really strikes a chord, not only for people who work in radiology. Many dedicated workers in hospitals who work their tails off but get little respect will relate. The story is beautifully written. In the middle of what one might start to think are filler paragraphs, there are many great lines such as "Surgical teams often arrive at that place where they can finish each other's sentences and marriages..."'
★★★★★ 'Very good book regarding radiology world. Keep my interest peaked. Definitely will be waiting for the second book. Can't wait.'
★★★★★ 'Great twist at the end.' Interview with the Author
Q - So what makes the X-ray Diaries series so special? A - I threw a lot of things into the X-ray Diaries, really. I have always loved medical stuff. The human body is amazing, and it's equally amazing we can use x-rays to see inside the body. And, you may have guessed, I have a lifelong love of learning. Much about these medical thrillers comes from the heart of a teacher - everything from the female protagonist to the medical suspense and romance - it's my hope that these elements allow the story to entertain and educate. Q - What authors inspired your writing style? A - I'm an avid reader. I enjoy the medical thrillers of Robin Cook, Bobby Akart, and Tess Gerritsen. I love the suspense of Kathy Reichs and Tana French. At the sentence level, I'm a fan of Denis Johnson and Lorrie Moore, particularly their more literary take on plot twists and perspective. And, of course, I enjoy reading nonfiction on the weird world of radioactivity. Q - When does Backscatter - Book 2 in the X-ray Diaries Series come out? A - I'm hoping for Fall 2022!
