Tom Kelso at Coffee With the Authors Feb. 9

Thomas Kelso will speak at Sunset River Gallery on Thursday, Feb. 9 from 11 a.m. to 12 noon as part of its monthly Coffee With the Authors program. The event is free, but seating is limited so the gallery requests reservations. Coffee, tea, and breakfast treats will be served.

Kelso is a practicing local orthopedic physician who is also well known for his thrillers, which are based on current innovations in medicine and science. His current novel is Stability Island, third in his Mark Thurman series. It’s an ordinary day in the ER for orthopedic surgeon Thurman until he finds a mysterious sphere that defies gravity. Excitement and danger build in a race against time as Thurman once again joins forces with his former Naval Special Warfare Development Group to prevent one of modern history’s most significant scientific discoveries from falling into the wrong hands.

Previous medical thrillers in the Mark Furman books include Fractured and Hyperion’s Fracture. All three are available at the gallery for book-signing.
