Deborah and Joel Shlian are both physicians who practiced medicine for over ten years before returning to UCLA for MBAs. They have since balanced medical management consulting with writing. They often write together,  producing several medical mysteries as well as non-fiction books and numerous magazine and journal articles on healthcare and medical management issues.  They recently moved from Los Angeles to Boca Raton, Florida.

The Drs. Shlian are an unusual couple. Together they combine their clinical experiences with their other accomplishments. They have traveled to over 50 countries and have witnessed healthcare first-hand throughout the world. They have practiced medicine in the Army (Deborah was one of only a few women physicians in the Reserves during Vietnam) as well as at a major HMO and at a world class academic medical center.

When they saw the altruistic foundation on which "managed care" was originally conceived being eroded, they returned to school to study business. They graduated from UCLA's Anderson School of Management and began a healthcare consulting firm. Seven years later, Shlian & Associates is a thriving national business.

Reviews

Wednesday's Child

"A haunting psychological thriller in the best-selling tradition of Mary Higgins Clark...."- LA Times

"The book is eminently readable and as fast-paced, taut and compelling a medical psychodrama as has come along in years." - David Shobin, author of The Unborn

"...I devoured it in two      sittings! I found myself at  the end of each
chapter saying, 'well maybe just one  more...It was spellbinding." -      Mark B. Perry, TV writer and producer (Wonder Years, etc)

"Wow! This is dramatic, page-turning stuff- full of creepy villains." -      George Anders of The Wall Street Journal

"Riveting! You won't be able to put this one down, I guarantee it! WEDNESDAY'S CHILD is a roller coaster ride of the first order. Loved it."--Joan Hall Hovey, Author of NOWHERE TO HIDE
