Thanks to everyone who has joined! Hey, if a bunch of you want to get together and agree on a couple of days, I'd be happy to temporarily set all three books to $0.99 so that we can get a discussion(s) going. Just let me know!

Hello Friends,

I am a physician, a former military battalion surgeon, and the author of two novels and one memoir. I have penned an historical thriller that is based in the American Revolution (written while I was deployed in Iraq), "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive," and a dark medical thriller, "The Cannabinoid Hypothesis." I am also the author of "Intrusive Memory," which is a memoir about overcoming truly sadistic child abuse and PTSD to accomplish my dream of becoming a physician.

I live with my American bulldog puppy, Haldol, who is a very large 100lbs at only 10-months-old! I enjoy practicing mixed martial arts, especially Brazilian jiu jitsu, and I play the guitar, albeit not very well. Thank you for reading my works and for reviewing them (even if you said nasty things about me!).

Best,
Dr. Leonardo Noto

This is the discussion thread for "Intrusive Memory," which is available on Amazon in paperback and for Kindle. Ask away!

INTRUSIVE MEMORY:

Intrusive Memory is the true story of how I overcame a severely disabling case of PTSD to realize my dream of becoming a physician. This book is not for the faint-of-hearted. It begins in a coldly sterile mental hospital, where I spent much of my childhood after being removed from my home by Child Protective Services, and then whirls the reader through a grand cascade of pathological environments, including a violent military school and a Mississippi jail cell. This is the story of how I fought against the odds and against my inner demons to claw my way through college and into medical school, where I graduated in the top of my class!

THE CANNABINOID HYPOTHESIS

A dark medical/crime techno-thriller. Frank Shoemaker, M.D. is the world's preeminent neurosurgeon thanks to his development of "The Shoemaker" device for the palliation of acute psychosis. Now the good doctor is wanted for an unspeakable crime -- but was it justified?

Mr. Jones is a drunkard, haunted by demons of a combat-filled past. Mr. Jones and his team of mercenaries have been contracted to pursue the elusive Dr. Shoemaker, and Mr. Jones never fails to get his man -- alive or otherwise!

This is the discussion thread for "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive," which is available on Amazon in both paperback and for Kindle. Ask away!

THE LIFE OF A COLONIAL FUGITIVE:

An historical thriller based in the American Revolution. Young Jonathan E. Lee is falsely accused of heinous war crimes by his treacherous regimental commander! Jonathan is forced to flee the colonies to save his neck from the hangman's noose, fighting his way across a stormy Atlantic and then joining a mercenary army that is deploying to warring Siam, a kingdom that is squirming under the iron-fist of a madman.

Greetings! I am Dr. Leonardo Noto, a former military battalion surgeon. The idea for "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive" was born out of my passion for American military history and my enthusiasm for the sport of muay Thai (Thai boxing). While training in a Thai boxing camp during the days and working on a novel based in the American Revolution during the nights, I noticed that Thai history during the 1780s was as turbulent as the American history of the period. After two years of detailed research, including nearly forty references, "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive" was born. I hope that you enjoy reading my novel as much as I enjoyed writing it!
