The Medical Side:

I’m a medical nerd. How do I know? I read medical textbooks for fun. I answer writer’s medical questions and love the challenge of editing a medical scene. Why? I want those passages to be an accurate reflection of the real work EMTs, paramedics, nurses and doctors do every day. I want my readers and your readers to stay in the story and not be pulled out by a medical inaccuracy. As writers, we never want a reader to set a book aside because they are questioning the details.

The Fiction side:

I’m an award winning, critically acclaimed, and PW bestselling author. The Bloodline Trilogy was my debut medical thriller series. Each asks an important question. For Proof: What if DNA testing, the gold standard for criminal prosecution, set a guilty man free? In Poison: Can hypnosis influence someone to do evil? And Peril: Is there such a thing as cellular transfer of memories? All these scenarios written in gripping, page-turning novels.

After these novels were published, I won a contest and the prize was a contract to write for Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense. Thus far, I have written five novels for Harlequin. 

Fractured Memory, the story that won the contest, examines the effects of amnesia in solving the crimes of a serial murderer.

My four follow-up novels were the following:
Taken Hostage
Fugitive Spy— published in 2018 and could be considered predictive of the 2020 pandemic– in my humble opinion.
Christmas Baby Rescue— my first PW weekly bestseller!
Eliminating the Witness— my second PW weekly bestseller!

This blog is designed to help both historical and contemporary authors learn methods to write medically accurate fiction. I field medical questions, analyze medical scenes, and post on medical topics of interest to writers and readers.

If you have a medical question or medical scene you’d like me to take a look at, send inquiries to jordyn@jordynredwood.com. It is understood that all medical questions are writing related. I do not consult for real-life medical problems.
