My new novella, The Bus Ride: A Zany Busnapping Adventure, is currently on preorder with Amazon and will be published January 16, 2020. The paperback is available to place on your bookshelf now. The Bus Ride: A Zany Busnapping Adventure



I had fun writing this story. The characters are quirky and wonderful. Is it odd that I truly love and care what happens to them? Maybe so! Don't worry, it all ends up okay and everyone's happy. It's in the middle of the story where they get the adventure of their lives!

In the coming weeks, I'll be introducing the characters to you. I think you'll come to like them too.

Until then,

Joanie

See my guest blog about Dr. Canavero, the real-life doctor who plans on performing the world's first head transplant. Is the world ready? Thank you Jeannie Wycherley for hosting Women in Horror Month!

Dr. Canavero may be book smart. Some call him "nuts," but he and the medical field do have one thing wrong: they don't believe that every life is worth living...the way they are.As some of you know from previous postings, when I read about Dr. Canavero a few years ago and his claim that he and a team of doctors were planning on performing a head transplant in December 2017, I laughed. It just couldn't be true, I thought. Then I wrote a fiction medical thriller, Heads Will Roll, B-movie style,...

While researching for my medical thriller, Heads Will Roll, I came across articles about a real-life doctor who is planning a head transplant surgery. Seriously. In December 2017.
​
Who is this doctor? Dr. Sergio Canavero is planning on performing the world's first head transplant surgery alongside a team of Chinese surgeons lead by Dr. Xiaoping Ren. Dr. Ren has reportedly performed 'around 1,000 head transplants on mice'.

“It will be a success,” he insists.

Linked here is an interview with Dr. Canavero by Tom Lamont of The Guardian, the surgeon who claims he will perform the first head transplant in December 2017: “I know it’s hard,” he says. “It’s hard to swallow, I understand that, it’s crazy. Sometimes, when I look at it, I say, ‘Will mankind be able to handle this?’ I don’t know! But society must prepare itself for a major tectonic shift.”The link is here.
