My Books & Writing

This book is a step‑by‑step tactical handbook for designing, writing, and executing a medical school application strategy, centered on “story and fit” rather than just stats. It starts with clarifying an authentic “why medicine” narrative, mapping three core themes of your story, and aligning those themes with school missions and long‑term career goals. It shows how to translate that narrative into every component of the application: choosing and deepening experiences, writing activity descriptions and “most meaningful” essays, crafting a Hook–Journey–Why Medicine personal statement, and building a reusable secondary essay bank. It covers school list construction and timing, letter‑of‑recommendation strategy, secondary essay systems, and interview prep, ending with checklists and mindset tips for staying organized, managing stress, and planning for outcomes like waitlists or reapplication.

This book explains the science of learning for premed and medical students and then turns that science into a concrete study system called the Metacog Method. It argues that passive strategies like re-reading and highlighting create an illusion of mastery, and instead emphasizes retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, and managing cognitive load as the core of efficient learning. The method itself has four main tools: a Metacog Journal for ongoing reflection, “Active Outlining” to turn lectures/readings into question-driven outlines, “Spaced Outline Testing” to repeatedly self-test from those outlines over time, and “Visual Encoding” (mind palaces, visual mnemonics, sketches) to make dense information more memorable. Later chapters layer in Stoic-based anti‑procrastination tactics and walk the reader through building a personalized weekly study system that is sustainable, data‑driven, and focused on high‑yield learning rather than hours logged.

Adrian Kane always dreamed of saving lives. But when a tragic accident leaves the idealistic premed student dead on the operating table, his brilliant, mysterious surgeon, Dr. Lucien Voss, saves him with a forbidden, experimental serum. Adrian awakens not to a second chance at life, but to a terrifying rebirth.

He is a fledgling vampire, newly bound to a secret society and a hidden medical school for his kind beneath Sanctum Nova, the very hospital that "cured" him. Here, first-year anatomy is taught not from cadavers, but from living "donors," and the Hippocratic Oath means learning to manage an insatiable, lethal thirst. Adrian struggles to master the new, dark biology of his kind, finding his only anchor in Seren, a talented student dangerously close to the rival Hunter faction.

But when Dr. Voss’s forbidden human romance threatens to expose the entire secret world, the school spirals into chaos. Adrian and his classmates must stage a desperate, high-stakes surgical break-out.

He wanted to save lives. Now, he struggles against taking them. And his transformation is just the beginning of The AAS Saga.

Twilight meets Gray’s Anatomy in this new hard sci-fi romantasy series. Taking inspiration from J.K. Rowling, Michael Crichton, and Veronica Roth, AAS won’t disappoint.
