Books 2012: 3 Lists of 3

December 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I read a lot of books in 2012. Perhaps the most I have ever read in a year. I attribute this to three things:

  1. November 2011 purchase of a Kindle Fire
  2. Amazon Prime subscription
  3. Ability to check out Kindle books through my local library

As I look back on my 2012 reading I came up with these three lists of three.

3 Books by Paramedics read

  1. Downwind Walk by Steve Kanarian
  2. Mortal Men by Peter Canning
  3. Responding EMS by Michael Morse

3 Running Books read

  1. Running Ahead of the Sun
  2. Born to Run
  3. How Winning Works

(ok, not technically a running book. FF/EMT author writes about leadership in the context of adventure racing and emergency response)

3 John Grisham Books read

  1. The Litigators
  2. The Confession
  3. The Rackateer

Writers on Writing and a Little More

March 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Michael Morse shares an article he wrote on writing for Writer Magazine in 2008.

Peter Canning shares praise for the Rogue Medic. I also really appreciate his shout out for the Medical Author Chat. Thanks!

The EduMedic, Brian Lilley, has posted a review of A Paramedic’s Story: Life, Death, and Everything in Between.

Maybe one of these EMS writers is cranking away on the next Hunger Games.

February is a great month for the EMS reader. Paramedic Peter Canning and Lt. Michael Morse have both published new books.

I have a copy of Responding from Lt. Michael Morse, author of Rescuing Providence, on my nightstand.

I just downloaded the Kindle edition of Mortal Men: Paramedics on the Streets of Hartford by Peter Canning.

I am looking forward to reading both books.

You can find these and other titles by paramedics in Medical Author Chat book store (Amazon affiliate program)

New Book: Responding by Michael Morse

December 13, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Responding, the second book, from EMT and author Michael Morse is now available at EmergencyStuff.com. There is not a Kindle version available yet but I imagine it will be available soon.

Mr. Morse is the author of the phenomenal book, Rescuing Providence,  (Amazon affiliate link) which I believe is on the must read list for any EMS literature fan.

Listen to a previous episode of the Medical Author Chat about Rescuing Providence.

If you have already read Responding I would welcome a review post for the Medical Author Chat.

Thanks.

EMS World Interview with Lt. Michael Morse

May 3, 2011 by 1 Comment

You can read an interview with Rescuing Providence author, Lt. Michael Morse, at EMSWorld.com. I thought the book was one of the best I have read, but I don’t recall it being particularly humorous … maybe some of the station pranks.

Earlier this year I interviewed Lt. Morse about Rescuing Providence.

Podcast: Interview with Rescuing Providence author Michael Morse

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Listen to this interview with Michael Morse author of Rescuing Providence. Michael and I had a great conversation about how he got started in the Providence, Rhode Island Fire Department as a firefighter. When he was detailed to a rescue (ambulance) he realized he had “missed his calling” and stayed full time in EMS. Michael holds a certification as an EMT-Cardiac (similar to EMT Intermediate).

Michael has always had an interest and “knack” for writing. When he started working the Rescue he was bombarded by the stories of the people he served. Rescuing Providence is a study of the people of Providence. The book is based on his notes from a single 34 hour tour and the patients he encountered on that shift.

Michael and I also talked about:

  • His process of writing Rescuing Providence
  • The big risk he took to publish the book
  • Support from his employer and co-workers for the book
  • His love for blogging, www.rescuingprovidence.com
  • Advice for aspiring authors

Michael has already written a second book, Night and Day, and is looking for a publisher.

Connect with Michael at his blog, www.rescuingprovidence.com, or email mmorsepfd@aol.com
