Will retire as Chair of Surgery on July 1. My novel, Thorax, is doing well but will not fund retirement. Will start second novel, likely a sequel, really soon!
My new medical thriller, Thorax, is now available. Just type Mark Katlic into Amazon or Barnes &Noble search box. For a free personalized bookplate which can be fixed to any blank page by its self adhesive back, send me your mailing address to [email protected].
