(PRBuzz.com) May 24, 2013 -- Full Moon Saturday Night is the captivating first novel from retired Air Force Colonel John Ellis, from the perils of a flight surgeon to the drama of the ER.
A career as a military flight surgeon and later an emergency room physician is fertile ground for high drama. Author John Ellis, MD, draws on a captivating career in the medical field for his newly released, first fiction novel, Full Moon Saturday Night, published by Outskirts Press.
Though a fiction, Full Moon Saturday Night is a significant work, heavily informed through Dr. Ellis' years as an Air Force flight surgeon and subsequent career as an emergency room physician in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia and Georgia. Through his protagonist, Ellis relays his own experiences in the military and civilian medical fields, offering often chilling accounts of the cacophonous life aboard a nuclear bomber fleet during the cold war, followed by equally dramatic tales of the drama of a rural ER. Full Moon Saturday Night boldly confronts prickly social issues, offering rare insights into the costs and inefficiencies of health care, racial and religious issues, immigration, and worker safety sacrificed to corporate greed.
Full Moon Saturday Night can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of 10 or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.OutskirtsPress.com/bookstore. The book is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and is being aggressively promoted with a focus on the fiction and medical categories.
