She’s received numerous teaching awards, ~100,000 views of her YouTube teaching videos, and was featured in a calendar of women inventors. Her debut medical thriller, Fatal Intent, was published by Oceanview in 2021. She shares her journey of pivoting from a career in medicine to writing and publishing her own books. She took classes, attended retreats, and wrote short stories to gain traction. After a chance meeting with a physician-turned-publisher, she went from manuscript to publishing offer within a couple of months. She also discussed the challenges of writing believable medical scenes for her books.
Kathy Reichs of Bones fame called Fatal Intent “Medical suspense as sharp as it gets.” The sequel, Misfire, came out in January. Michael Connelly, best-selling author of the Bosch series called it “a first-rate medical thriller.”
Euliano’s short fiction has been recognized by Glimmer Train, Bards & Sages, Flame Tree Press, and others.
Topics include:
- How she became an author in her 50s and the transition from a busy physician climbing the academic ladder to a newbie fiction author
- Dealing with rejections and her experience with a small press has been amazing
- Talking about the humorous errors in medical scenes written by non-medical people
The doctor is in for a fun conversation. Check in!

This excellent memoir traces the story of Frank Biondi’s epic forty-year career taught me much and reinforced many important things to remember as a businessperson, father, spouse, and friend. You are your values--but only if you truly live them. The way you treat others is so much more important than material things, titles, or feeling important. We should all strive to Be Frank! -- J.

--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-alexander-greenwood/messageToday we meet David E. Feldman, author of The Dora Ellison Mystery Series, a 5-book (so far) series starring a detective couple who happens to be lesbian. Dora is a sweet martial arts savant with a violent streak stemming from childhood trauma. She especially loathes bullies.
Feldman is also author of The Neighborhood, a novel about four families in the then-all-white town of Valley Stream, N.Y., one of whom is the first family of color in the neighborhood. His stories are about love, transcendence, hope, and overcoming challenges in modern society.
We also discuss:
- Bullies in fiction and real life
- Victims in his books: are everyday people in everyday situations. A ubiquitous situation we have is people who are abused, from a young couple making love, to people who happen to be in the hospital, to several people who identify as different genders.
- More about the Dora Ellison series
- His ongoing cast of relatable characters
- Feldman’s very close brushes with severe illness
- His positivity and love of life

--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-alexander-greenwood/messageWelcome to episode nine of a special bonus series on Mysterious Goings On...TREK TAKES. What is TREK TAKES? Well, Star Trek fans... PICARD is back for the third and final season. As a lifelong fan of the series and a critic of the franchise's direction over the past few years, Alex will talk with film critic and writer Lucas Hardwick, sharing their "first takes" on every episode--coming at you every Friday morning throughout the 10-episode season three.
This week: it's Lucas and Alex's first take on the ninth episode of season three of PICARD: VOX. Up for discussion: the guys ponder if this is the best Star Trek they've seen in a long time...the show's handling of the Borg conflict, cinematography, red herrings throughout the season...parallels between the show and the world we live in, as well as the theories of friends of the show Mugatu, Clint, and JMac...clever uses of the transporter, the character of Data and how he has evolved over the years, as well as the Borg...the death of a favorite character (as foreseen by Alex)...the parallels between the Borg and people under 25...the possibility of a Star Trek reset, where the fleet is destroyed or retrofitted to prevent Borg infiltration. Could Bill Crouse, a designer of retro-looking starships, be involved in such a reset?
They also chat about WonderFest, a convention in Louisville, Kentucky, and have time for show and tell (best taken in as a subscriber!)
