Short Bio:

I have been in a uniform for well over half of my life in one form or another, and have been a practicing paramedic for since 1990. I have a professional background in Paramedicine, Technical Rescue, Military/Austere Medicine, Flight/Critical Care Medicine, and EMS/Adult education. Personally, I am into movie and (pen and paper/table top) RPG's, I read a lot, and I try to write. I am here to actually move from writing a short blog and short educational articiles (on EMS topics) to writing an actual book or three. Unlike most here I am not shotting for a work of fiction or a non-fiction bio, but a "self help" book for budding paramedics. I envision a book with each chapter largely self contained and on a different topic. I am not sure how this will fit in here, but its worth a shot. I suffer from horrible typing skills, so I am lost without a word proccessing program. I also suffer from the inability to see my typos unless I print them off and read them in hard copy.
