Informazioni sull’autore
Genevieve (Gen) LaGreca's breakthrough novel Noble Vision won a ForeWord magazine Book-of-the-Year Award, a Writer's Digest International Book Award, a Midwest Book Award, and an Illinois Women's Press Association Fiction Contest Award. The novel's dramatic portrayal of the struggle of a doctor whose judgment and conscience conflict with the dictates of a state health system in a life-or-death case earned endorsements from American Medical Association past president Edward Annis, syndicated columnist Walter Williams, magazine magnate Steve Forbes, and Nobel laureate Milton Friedman. It is considered very highly recommended reading by Midwest Book Review.Gen holds a BS cum laude in chemistry from Polytechnic Institute of New York and an MA in philosophy from Columbia University. She is a former pharmaceutical chemist who now writes fiction and social commentary. Gen's articles have appeared in Forbes, The Orange County Register, The Daily Caller, Real Clear Politics, Gainesville Sun, and other publications.Asked what moved her to write Noble Vision, Gen replies, After years of working in the healthcare industry, I feel as if I'm witnessing the slow death of something great, something that shouldn't be allowed to die---America's gold standard of medicine. Why did she choose to write fiction? Ever since I read Gone With the Wind at age thirteen, I've been enthralled by sweeping novels that capture a historic moment in an unforgettable way. I wanted to tell the story of what's happening in medicine today---how it, too, could be gone with the wind---through the spellbinding magic of fiction. Noble Vision is published by Winged Victory Press, whose mission is to publish stories of unusual people doing unusual things, stories with something important to say, and stories that inspire us to achieve our dreams.Gen's new novel, A Dream of Daring, published in 2013, was recommended by Booklist, ForeWord Reviews, and Midwest Book Review. It took Finalist in Multicultural Fiction and Finalist in Regional Fiction in the 2013 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.For more information, see: www.WingedVictoryPress.com.
