About the author
T.S. Vale
9 books79 followers Hi, fellow reader. Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve loved and practiced the art and science of "writing" my entire life. I've published and been recognized for both fiction and non-fiction, commercially and independently.
Another thing I love — no surprise, probably, to most of you who’ve found your way here — is reading. I’m an avid book fan and have been honored to work with, support, and learn from some amazing authors.
Both as a writer and a reader, my top genre love is what I often refer to as speculative fiction — that is, science fiction and fantasy, in all their many variations. My tastes are broad but it’s easy to note post-apocalyptic SF / fantasy, dystopian SF / fantasy, historical fiction, epic SF / fantasy, and technological SF / fantasy as top favorites in those fields.
Manifesting new worlds and telling characters’ stories has been my great and lifelong passion. I’m exceedingly grateful that it’s a passion that has provided some of you out there with some entertainment and even some inspiration. Thanks for letting me know about that: I truly appreciate it. Keep on reading!

This is a short but powerfully intense slant on the state of public healthcare. This could quite easily be seen as the NHS in the none too distant future. The characters are introduced quickly and dropped in at the deep end into their own personal hells. Fans of medical thrillers would certainly enjoy this, highly recommended.

Wonderful story
I loved the characters and the writing. I'm usually not a short story type of reader as I like to get involved in a book. TS Vale, however, managed to grab me on the first page and not let me go till the last page.
