AUTHOR BIO

Rhonda R. Porterfield spent 12 years as Chief of Pathology and Medical Director of the Laboratory in Denton, Texas - reading tissue, diagnosing what killed people, and advising physicians on what the body reveals in death. She trained at Baylor University Medical Center and is board-certified by the American Board of Pathology in both Anatomic and Clinical Pathology. She then spent several decades as a clinical science consultant, medical writer, and analyst - composing peer-reviewed manuscripts, regulatory documentation, and medical technology evaluations. In addition to her medical career she picked up the side gig of being a ghost writer where she honed her writing skills and found her storyteller's voice.

Rhonda has spent her entire professional life studying the architecture of the human body, the mechanisms of death, and the precision of scientific language. This is her first novel.
