Reading, photography, music, travel, art. I also love to teach. See my website, cjlyons.net for more info on my upcoming classes.
People who love to read and talk about books and discover new authors! Also, first responders, medical professionals, and law enforcement officers who would like to share their stories.
My novels are edgy with realistic medical details and reflect my own experiences as a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician. I've also worked as a victim's advocate and have assisted police and prosecutors with cases involving child abuse, sexual assault, homicide and Munchausen's by Proxy.
So, if you want a peak behind the scenes at what really goes on in an urban hospital, stay tuned for my first novel, coming from Berkley in March, 2008!
Hmm...all over the place. Everything from kick-ass rock n roll with an edge (both classic and new), zydeco, classic R&B, and celtic music.

Everything from classic war movies (How Proudly We Hail, Arise My Love) to westerns (High Noon, The Big Country) to thrillers and the occasional romantic comedy.
Wish I had time! Right now following Grey's Anatomy, The Unit, and the Dresden Files.
