Read my book

Aside from loving chocolate and coffee (not necessarily in that order) Scott McPherson has learned that he loves to write. He writes fiction and, so far, has published four novels, (The Jack Sharp M.D. novels: Congo Mission; A Step Ahead of Death; and Witness in the Window; as well as his most recent one, Crisis On The Ice). Soon to be published is a new Jack Sharp M.D. novel Ransomware and Murder.Scott has many varied interests, though he tries to focus on one at a time. He has worked for thirty-five years as a family physician, a pass-time that gives him great pleasure and pays the bills. Now teaching in a Family Medicine Residency, he loves his job.

Scott writes from his life experiences and from travel. He served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and became a member of the Nebraska Air National Guard just before 9/11 in 2001. The aftermath of that great disaster changed the face of the Guard and led to missions in far-away places. He has spent time in Turkey, Iraq, Spain, Crete, and Guam in missions related to support for Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. He has been to Iceland and Antarctica as well. Now retired from the military he has found that his experience in other countries and cultures lends realism to his novels.

When he isn’t writing or working, Scott McPherson is at home spending time with his wife and their little dog, Finley. He loves to take long walks. It was during one of his walks that he was inspired to write his first novel. His five daughters live near and far and he dotes on his three grandchildren when he can. He is an avid trombone player and has played since he was nine years old. Still playing in church and in local symphonies.

Scott plans to keep writing as long as the ideas flow and readers show interest in his stories. He loves to interact with other writers and readers about what has become a new passion in his life. Find him at his website: www.scottmcphersonmd.com
