Maya investigates infections in Norway, the UK, New Zealand, and Bolivia. I'm in the final editing stages and hope to publish it in June. Thanks, Bonny, for your interest!(less)

Yes, there's a lot of similarity with my MayaVerse microbial thrillers. Like Quammen, I want to share the excitement of field investigations into zoonotic diseases. So my fictional medical detectives spend most of their time out in the environment on disease control work, not in medical settings where most traditional medical thrillers take place.(less)

Millicent Eidson answered DonnaRae Menard's question: Millicent Eidson
Yes, the Burlington Writers Workshop (BWW) is still going. I have 2 other author critique groups so I’m not as involved with them but I’ll always be grateful that I started my author career with them.
Millicent Eidson answered DonnaRae Menard's question: Millicent Eidson
Thanks for asking! 86 people signed up so my biggest author event so far. They stayed for questions and were enthusiastic purchasers. Very rewarding.
