Ken Strauss

Ken Strauss is a doctor and a writer. He publishes scientific articles as well as fictional works. He was born in 1953 in New Orleans and grew up in the Dominican Republic, where his parents were protestant American missionaries. From there he followed in their footsteps, going first to Bible college and then to seminary in the USA. In his early twenties he realized he was better suited for medicine and became a doctor, first training as an internist (hospital doctor) and then as an endocrinologist (hormone specialist). In his mid-thirties he moved to Belgium with his young family and became global medical director at a large medical enterprise. He also took a post with the burgeoning European Medical Association in Brussels. For nearly thirty years he travelled the world doing clinical studies in countless hospitals, developing new medical tools, training doctors and nurses and caring for patients. He estimates he worked in over one hundred countries and helped train over a million health care professionals. During those years he was writing fiction whenever he could find a free moment. Now he’s retired, lives in Spain and travels more on his bike than in a plane. He’s finally settled down to writing fulltime. Strauss has published twenty-two books to date, from novels to poetry, plays to short stories and a smattering of works for children. His works are available as ebooks from Kindle or paperbacks from Amazon. He also publishes new material on his blog: https://kenstraussposts.blogspot.com/.
