D. Bruce Foster

D. Bruce Foster is an American physician and writer who is a native of Baltimore County, Maryland, where he grew up observing the social and cultural milieu of My Lady's Manor steeplechase country, location of his novels Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye and This Way To Paradise.

Most recently Bruce has indulged his passion for the French language and teamed up with French native and co-author, Julie Beaufort, to create Instant French--Quick Preparation For A Trip To France, a short multimedia French course for travelers.

For over twenty years Bruce served as chief of emergency medicine at a Pennsylvania hospital and was the medical director of an aeromedical helicopter service.

He has authored two medical textbooks: Twelve Lead Electrocardiography for ACLS Providers (Elsevier Health Sciences), and Twelve Lead Electrocardiography- Theory and Interpretation (Springer). The former, now out of print, sold over 7,000 copies--a significant performance for a medical textbook--and the latter earned a four-star rating and a numerical rating of 92-- "Outstanding" category--from Doody's Book Review, a review service for the medical publishing industry.

Bruce lives with his gorgeous and long-suffering wife on a farm in southern Pennsylvania in a lovingly restored pre-Civil War farmhouse. His passions, many of which come to bear in his books, include flying (he's an instrument-rated private pilot), skiing, tennis, graphics design, and the French language. A serial entrepreneur, Foster was also the founder of Whitetail Ski Resort in southern Pennsylvania, the premier mid-Atlantic ski area.
