Book News

This morning's New York Times has an excellent review of Shannon Burke's novel "Black Flies."

In recent days I have heard from a number of paramedics and EMTs who have read the book and they have all given it a thumbs up. I recommend it.

She has a wry sense of humor and is an enjoyable read.
