John A. Karr, writer

Time for the writer to get up from the computer and get physical. Workout. Eat. Come back for another session after darkness falls.

Eclectic writer. Nice phrase, if a bit stuffy. Basically, I write what strikes me as interesting. That encompasses thriller, general fiction, historical, heroic fantasy, horror, and now mystery. Goal is to make it entertaining for the reader as well, as the writing entertains me.

On the Writing Front:

6/21/09 -- Asylett Press has released my medical thriller,  Hippocrates Shattered, in ebook format. Trade paper in a few months, most likely. 

About Hippocrates Shattered:

Andrew Raynorr M.D. was forced from his practice by a managed care corporation. When he loses his family, his vengeance turns deadly. He creates a virus, one that causes the body’s own genes to unleash an explosive leukemia, and targets managed care executives.

Bridget Devereaux, a young intern at Chambers Hospital, suspects something is strange about the strain of leukemia they are seeing in recent admissions...it kills the patient within days. Though she finds no support for her suspicions within the upper echelons of hospital management, she researches the blood cancer and traces the catalyst back to Raynorr.

But Raynorr is aware Bridget has found him out, and now not only her career, but her very life is in jeopardy.
