Introducing My New Medical Thriller: A Journey Through Heart and Healing

Writing a novel has always been a dream of mine, but turning that dream into reality felt like a monumental task. Today, I'm thrilled to share with you the culmination of this journey—a medical thriller inspired by my experiences both as a nurse and as a survivor. This book is not just a story; it’s a reflection of passion, hardship, and resilience. Let’s dive deep into the unique aspects that craft my narrative and the personal experiences that shaped it.

A Brief Overview of the Book

The heart of my novel, titled "The Triggering Scent" weaves a gripping tale where medical mysteries unfold in the halls of a bustling city hospital. Our protagonist, Abbey Roberts, finds herself entangled in a web of challenges as she grapples with a surgery gone wrong, and has to reinvent herself to return to work in her busy ICU. She had to relearn how to walk and speak, and now seizure free, she is returning to the job she loves: being an ICU nurse in a trauma hospital.

In this fast-paced medical thriller, readers will encounter unexpected twists and turns, backed by meticulous medical research and an understanding of hospital dynamics. The tension builds as Abbey learns to work alongside her meth addicted neurosurgeon who has now transferred to her hospital.

The Unique Aspects of "The Triggering Scent"

One of the most compelling elements of "The Triggering Scent" is its authenticity. Drawing on my background as a registered nurse and brain tumor survivor, I aimed to create a visceral experience that shows not just the science of medicine but also the emotional stakes involved.

The book integrates real medical procedures with ethical dilemmas, showcasing how personal biases can impact patient care. For example, the character encounters situations of medical malpractice, complex hospital bureaucracy, and the moral responsibilities of being a healthcare provider. Readers can expect a mix of heart-pounding drama and thought-provoking questions that reflect the ethical challenges faced by medical professionals every day.

Through well-developed characters, I explore themes of trust, betrayal, and the fight for justice. As women, we often grapple with the complexities of our roles—whether in the workplace, family life, or society at large. "The Triggering Scent" resonates deeply with these themes, inviting readers to question their perceptions of guilt and innocence.

Personal and Professional Experiences that Inspired the Story

The inspiration behind "The Triggering Scent" stems from my own experiences in the medical field. As a nurse, I have witnessed both miraculous recoveries and heartbreaking losses. One particular incident stood out: My own diagnosis of a brain tumor that was going to kill me. This event haunted me, pushing me to reflect on how our healthcare system can both save lives and, in some circumstances, fail individuals. At our most vulnerable, we have to trust our care providers to do the right thing, and to always act in our best interests.

My experiences not only shaped the storyline but also influenced the emotional depth of the characters. Abbey is a reflection of my journey, encapsulating the vulnerabilities and strengths that come with caring for others. As a survivor of personal struggles, I channeled my own battles into Abbey's character arc, allowing readers to connect with her on a relatable level.
