MY NAME IS KEVIN Kindle Edition
Detective Doreen Pousant is getting closer to finding the ATM highwayman and after 2-years the trail keeps ending in St Raphael’s church. Pousant’s alcoholism impedes her progress and she finds herself going into St. Rachael’s AA meetings looking for the criminal. She finds more than confronting her own alcoholism. Her investigation reveals an ongoing plot infiltrating the banking system based in New York City. Further probes uncover that the 2007-9 US economic downfall had its roots in a similar Islamic extremist attack.
The ATM perp, the Connecticut Detective and some AA members are caught up in a deadly confrontation that reaches from the small town of Prichard, CT and New York City to Iran and its Al Qaeda links.

About the author
As a baby boomer and retired physician I'm devoting my time to writing medical thrillers. My life as an author of fiction began in 2003 after several individuals consistently commented that my speeches delivered at Toastmasters International always captured the audience because they were presented as captivating stories regardless of the topic. "I should write a book" they all said. My wife encouraged me because she was sick of listening to me rehearsing my speeches.
"What should I write about?" I asked of my supportive spouse.
"Write about your patient from the Navy who brought back a bottle full of human eyes from Vietnam."
Thus began my string of medical thrillers starting with THE EYEMAN. The sequel to THE EYEMAN, THE DUTY CREW, chronicles the last Christmas Day of the Vietnam War in a Northeast Naval hospital. Like all my novels true lifetime situations is interwoven with suspenseful and intriguing storylines.
I spent most of my life in Massachusetts and schooling leading up to both an MD and PhD in medicine and directed medical research for the last 20 years of my healthcare career with drug development in major pharmaceutical companies.
I've always been caught up in history and my medical thriller COTTER attests to historical fact both in medicine and family life in the struggling Post-Civil War years 1868-1872.
I believe literature should be educational, fun, serious, full of feelings and always with a touch of fantasy. We're all part dreamers. When Dr. Mathew Collins returns from Afghanistan military service his life encompasses all these elements in THE HELIOS RAIN. A similar experience but on a different motif was blended in my medical thriller surrounding a possible cure for Muscular Dystrophy in THE MYOSIN FACTOR. Ever want to reveal the bad side of an employment experience? My years in the pharmaceutical industry witnessed sabotage and some drugs with unacceptable side effects pressured by upper management to sneak by the FDA. THE ADJUSTMENT CLINIC fictionalizes two of these real-life based situations.
I live in San Antonio, Texas spending 5-hours a day on new writing, working with editors and trying to promote my e-books. Encouraging my 8 grandchildren to read and write is as much fun as my own writing efforts. It's my hope that the reading public will experience the joys and realities of life through my novels.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014My Name is Kevin is the story of Kevin Dowd, a thug that robs ATM machines. And of course there is the police, or in this case Detective Doreen Pousant, investigating the crimes. I like Doreen and can relate to her character. Much of the setting occurs around AA meetings, and I learned some key points about addiction.
My Name is Kevin is a novel for the times (Islamic extremist) that we live in and is thought-provoking. It is a reminder that local crime may not be black and white as it first appears when mixed with terrorism, which often has global roots. I was drawn, page by page, by a crime that turned into a global scheme against banking. This novel is an honest portrait of a world in constant change.
I enjoyed this book. It is riveting and easy to imagine carrying over to Headline News. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017There are a number of reasons, which I won't mention here because they might spoil a first read, that make the characters in this story and the story a very good read. Okay, I'll mention one: this book captures the fact that there may be some of us better grounded or better capable of handling problems than others, but that at our core we are all flawed in some way; it's just a matter of degrees. Enjoyed this book very much!
