Thomas Kelso brings a rare level of medical authenticity to his fiction. He holds a Ph.D. from Washington State University School of Veterinary Medicine and an M.D. from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. After completing his residency in orthopedic surgery, he served nine years in the U.S. Navy before entering civilian practice in Brunswick County, North Carolina, where he still works as a surgeon.
His Mark Thurman series follows an orthopedic trauma surgeon whose life mirrors Kelso’s own background in several ways. Both are orthopedic surgeons, both served in the Navy, and both share an interest in equine physiology. The novels deal with cutting-edge medical science and the dangerous consequences when powerful people try to control new discoveries. Fractured (2019), the first book, was a Kindle Scout winner and Silver Falchion Award finalist at the Killer Nashville International Writers Conference.
