Thinking about working on a joint writing project or maybe even co-authoring a book? 
I co-authored my last three books. The experience can be wonderful if you're sure it's what you want. Check out my guest blog post Collaborating and Co-authoring at the lovely book review site, Armed with a Book. 
P.S. If you enjoy reading challenges, check out their Armed with a Bingo event!

Lately, I've been working on a book I started writing about total hip replacement with a focus on young THR. It's a niche, but I like writing niche books. ​

Are you a good writer or a bad writer?

That's an interesting question, and one that led me to start listening to The Bad Writer's Podcast, hosted by Rebecca Fisher. Among other things, Rebecca likes to talk about when writers break rules and why. Is that being a bad writer? Or are there times when it's the right thing to do?
Rebecca was kind enough to have me as a guest on The Bad Writer's Podcast, Episode 10. In the first part of this episode, we learn that Rebecca loves animals and takes care of stray cats. My interview starts about 10 minutes into the podcast. It was fun talking about a variety of writing-related topics. Can you guess which rule I'm most inclined to break?
You can listen to the show at PodBean, Apple, or Spotify. I hope you enjoy it!

Just for fun, here's a picture of Mittens who often hangs out in a patch of sunshine in my home office. Sometimes if I get up and come back, I'll find that she's made herself at home in my office chair.

International Hip Dysplasia Institute Guest Post

5/3/2019

I just started reviewing books about hip dysplasia for the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IDHI). There are quite a few  now, which makes me happy! When I wrote The Parents' Guide to Hip Dysplasia I couldn't find any books—just medical journal articles.
My first book review is for Hope, the "Hip" Hippo by Gina Jay and Julie Beattie, illustrated by Cheri Turner. You can my book review here.

​For those of you who don't already know, I'm on the Advisory Committee for the IDHI, which is a nonprofit organization. I've helped them out in various ways over the years
