Some Secrets can be deadly....

First Place Winner of the Royal Palm Literary Award, Silent Survivor is a medical thriller that according to Readers' Favorite review: churns out suspense at a pace to put a reader's pulse into overdrive.

Army nurse, Mackenzie (Mac) Dodd returns to Florida from Iraq with more than one secret. Unable to stop a young Marine's suicide, Mac blames herself. Encouraged by her idealistic neighbor, she posts the incident on SILENT SURVIVOR, a blog in which she encourages veterans with PTSD to share stories.

When the Marine's widow reveals that there may be more to her husband's suicide, Mac begins an investigation. It soon becomes apparent that camouflage extends far beyond the bodies of fallen American warriors, and Mac finds herself ensnared in a web of conspiracy, deceit, and a sense of duty and honor that could ultimately cost her own life.
