I was looking for medical romance information since I have just released my first novel, Endings, which fits in that genre. I enjoyed the Lancet article by Brendan Kelly. He does seem to have made an accurate analysis of most medical romance novels I have read. Certainly he tags Endings accurately, as my female protagonist is a case study for an attractive, intelligent and compassionate physician. Why would I make her otherwise? She has had her share of trials, both in medical school and residency as well as during the course of this novel. Endings follows her as she leaves her home and practice after a tragic accident. I speak with authority on the medical aspect of Endings, since I am an orthopedic surgeon. <BR/><BR/>Do you write medical romance novels and if so, what is your twist/angle?<BR/><BR/>Barbara Bergin<BR/>author of "Endings"<BR/>http://www.barbaraberginink.comBarbara Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701269178161463112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996360604156154922.post-82502117818847498022007-10-26T10:58:00.000+01:002007-10-26T10:58:00.000+01:00Oh fabbo!
