About the author

I grew up in Indiana farm country and dreamt of flying and donating a kidney someday.

My husband practices forensic pathology, so I organized and operated Forensic Fliers and we did forensic autopsies in the midwest.

The Kate Swift Medical Thriller Series, Kidney Kartel, Transplant Island, and Forensic Fliers, coming soon, grew out of our experiences flying and forensics.

I am an altruistic kidney donor and advocate for organ donation as Kidney Donor Kate on FB.

I recently climed Mount Kilimanjaro to promote organ donation.
