I am a retired registered nurse who writes medical thrillers and a series of detective mysteries. Many of my ideas, plots and characters come from my own experiences; but of course, I throw in a lot of fiction. Toxic Blood introduces my detective James Ford, a retired police officer from Bentonville, Arkansas. You can follow his exploits in Finding the Lost Ones, Cold-Hearted Revenge, Greed & Lies, His Haunted Past, Death of Dreams, Thieves, Hidden Mysteries, Hidden Treasures, Stranger Than Fiction and James Ford Case Files. I am currently a member of Sisters in Crime and a founding member of Independent Fiction Authors, www.inficons.com. My Facebook author page is: https://www.facebook.com/Sandra-L-Olson-935454399838453 I post excerpts and teasers for book lovers of all kinds. I am always interested in honest reviews. QUESTIONS TO PONDER OR USE IN BOOK CLUBS ABOUT THE NOVEL REBIRTH: 1. There are actually three major "rebirths" for people in this novel...can you identify them? 2. How do you feel about growing embryos to use for research and medicine? 3. When does David Franklin "cross the line" in ethical issues? What about legal issues? 4. Do you think Donald was justified in killing Jose´ because Jose´ was a bad person? 5. Would you have left Donald for what he did? What about the money, what would you have done about that? QUESTIONS TO PONDER ABOUT MURDER BY PROXY: (FYI:This book has been on the recommended reading list for nursing students at the Univ. of Arkansas.) 1. The "villain" in this story is based on a composite of two women in the Texas prison where I worked...Did you find it hard to believe a nurse could murder her innocent patients? 2. Have you ever met a person with a multiple personality disorder? 3. Was Joyce right to keep trying to get Martha's nursing license revoked even after she was threatened? QUESTIONS TO PONDER ABOUT THE TURQUOISE CROSS: 1. If you were Marcie, would you have allowed Jeanette to continue working in your home? 2. Knowing how frightening it was for Nadine to help Pierre, would you have been able to do what she did? 3. Was Marie brave or foolish to try and stop the Nazi soldiers by herself? QUESTIONS TO PONDER ABOUT CONNECTIONS: 1. What are some of your connections in life? 2. Did you think Reverend Forester was a bad man or just misguided? 3. Was Melody wise to leave her job and home after only knowing Reuben for two weeks? 4. Could you have made the same decision to give up college and your musical dreams as Elizabeth did? THINGS TO PONDER ABOUT FINDING THE LOST ONES: 1. Visit the site The Doe Network for missing persons listed by state. (thedoenetwork.org) Look for your state and others and read about the unidentified bodies listed there. 2. How did it make you feel to read about the poor unidentified people? 3. Did you feel sorry for Derek Dewise in the story? He was obviously a lonely man... 4. What would you do if you were kidnapped to become a sex slave?
