Thanks for checking out my site and the books!<BR/><BR/>WARNING SIGNS stands alone--you don't need to read LIFELINES first, but given your background you might enjoy it as well. <BR/><BR/>LIFELINES is a bit more of a thriller rollercoaster with some good EMS scenes, while WARNING SIGNS is more of a medical mystery.<BR/><BR/>Let me know what you think of them!<BR/>CJCJ Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263382194031609952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-9854698541538107662009-01-27T19:57:00.000-07:002009-01-27T19:57:00.000-07:00CJ,Warning Signs is available in my local Barnes &...CJ,<BR/>Warning Signs is available in my local Barnes & Noble now. Do I need to read Lifelines first? It would have to be ordered online. I just checked out your web site and joined your mailing list. I like the "Extras." What I read seems very familiar.<BR/><BR/>I was a Navy Independent Duty Corpsman and afterward a Medical Services Officer (same, but as a civilian mariner) on Navy ships with civilian crew. Nothing like being a doctor, but we didn't have one on board so I was it.<BR/><BR/>Terry,<BR/>If you keep introducing me to new authors I won't run out of reading material for a very long time.<BR/><BR/>RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-63377647198124989222009-01-27T16:27:00.000-07:002009-01-27T16:27:00.000-07:00Thanks for having me, Terry!

I admire you so much for what you do. I'm curious since you gave up your medical career to write. Do you still retain you CV and testify as an expert witness during these types of trials? I imagine both sides of the aisle would love to have someone with your credentials testifying on their behalf. Particularly, if they felt the defendant was wrongly accused. You may not be able to put a face to these types of people, but I would think you're close to a profiler by now; what do you think? Interesting discussion, Terri, thanks for bringing CJ to us!!Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-27378221710398423132009-01-27T05:54:00.000-07:002009-01-27T05:54:00.000-07:00Thanks, MJ!

Hope you enjoy WARNING SIGNS.<BR/><BR/>As for feeling pessimistic about the world after working in the ER and seeing what I've seen--it's inevitable.<BR/><BR/>But it doesn't have to be a permanent state of mind. You just have to let the light in, wherever you can find it. <BR/><BR/>Often that was through humor, seeing the acts of courage my patients and their families performed, and through friends.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!CJ Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263382194031609952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-53954464778144243352009-01-27T05:24:00.000-07:002009-01-27T05:24:00.000-07:00I don't know how you can see that day in and day o...I don't know how you can see that day in and day out and still believe in happily ever after!
