A high
speed medical drama thriller, "Trauma Junkie", plays out more like an
episode of your favorite prime time show, than any typical novel…
Teaser:
Protagonist
Brian is a man down on his luck both in his love life and in his job. After
four years he is still struggling with death of his infant child and a
complicated divorce from his wife. Brian pours his efforts into the only thing
he has left, his career as a paramedic responder. Unfortunately his tough
exterior is a feeble shield from the tragedy that strikes unsuspecting New York
citizens every day. The burden of saving a life is not so easy to bear when one
can hardly manage their own. His ex is moving on with another man, and living
the life of late night emergency runs does little to quell the
despondency of regret which plagues him. Just as Brian’s life seems to be
headed for a full downward spiral, clever, spunky freelance reporter, Brooklyn
enters the scene. The sweltering red head seems more than adequate to thaw Brian’s
hard shell, and she may very well be the life altering event Brian never even
knew he was waiting for…

you’ll love it:
“Trauma Junkie” isn’t a cautiously constructed medical
drama. It’s gritty, realistic and unwavering. The author doesn’t try to mimic
real life, the characters and situations are effortless. “Trauma Junkie” lacks
medical jargon and flowery poetic detail; it makes up for those things with
plot, action, and drama. The characters are easy to understand and their issues
are easy to relate with. It effectively uses dialogue to portray the characters
and present them to the reader. Perhaps most refreshing, “Trauma Junkie”, is
deficient of overdone plot twists; the characters get where they’re going and
the ending is fulfilling to the story and satisfying to the reader. Perfect for someone just getting their feet
wet in the in medical thriller genre. With no filler chapters or character
padding, “Trauma Junkie”, does in a little over two hundred pages, what other
books in this genre take twice the amount to accomplish.
