T.D. Severin - Award-Winning Medical Thriller Author

I have to say, my mind has been completely blown away! Since Deadly Vision came out, I've been watching the Amazon rankings, wondering, hoping, that one day I'd break into the top 100 for Medical Thrillers.  I came close a couple times, up to #125, but the rankings would go up and down.  I checked today.   The novel crashed into the Top 100, landing at #83 for the paperback version, and the audio book has premiered at #16 on the list for Medical/Forensic Thriller!  It also ranked #44 in Political Fiction and #52 in Medical Fiction.  Wow!!! Thank you all so much.  I really hope you enjoy this little tale of one man's quest for redemption, forgiveness and love, amidst the mire of political machinations, espionage, madness, and murder.  Thank you again, sincerely. 

    ⭐️ Book Review: *Deadly Vision* by T.D. Severin A heart-racing medical thriller packed with tech, tension, and terrifying visions Rating: 5/5 artificial arteries --- 🧠 What's It About? Imagine Grey’s Anatomy , Black Mirror , and House of Cards had a high-adrenaline baby. That’s Deadly Vision . This is a medical thriller with a capital T for technology—and terror. In just ten days (plus two killer epilogues), we’re thrown into a world of cutting-edge science, political scheming, and mind-bending hallucinations that blur the line between reality and sabotage. Dr. Taylor Abrahms is at the center of it all—a brilliant surgeon piloting a breakthrough technology: virtual reality-assisted heart surgery. But when a patient arrives with disturbing injuries and even more disturbing secrets, Taylor finds himself entangled in a deadly conspiracy. As the bodies start piling up and hallucinations creep into his every move, Taylor realizes this is more than just a tech g...

I was incredibly honored to be a guest of Terrance Layhew on the Suit Up! podcast, talking about craft, creativity, inspiration, and . . . comic books! Thanks so much for having me, and so thrilled that you enjoyed Deadly Vision as much as you did.  Check it out.    Normal warning . . . I babble.  A lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=gVEvKlmbemY&fbclid=IwY2xjawMHJ4tleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHpcueq0Ah1qFoi7LR7shGXm69NEqWAWrSF84-asnqQvNktEhYXHsZ6r2xAff_aem_R_FeT6TPovoiYzlsEEg5sA

      Just got this amazing review and had to share.  Lots to digest here. "Deadly Vision is straight-up next-level thriller vibes—like if Black Mirror met House but with that extra political edge. Dr. Taylor Abrahms is this tech genius trying to push medical VR into the mainstream, but everyone’s out here scheming to shut him down. The book’s got that perfect mix of biotech geekery and high-stakes drama, with sabotage, murder, and a dash of political chaos that keeps you hooked. It’s smart, fast-paced, and hits emotional beats without getting cheesy.    If you’re into brainy thrillers that feel like a Netflix binge but on paper, this one’s a must. Definitely a page-turner for anyone who loves tech, drama, and a little bit of that underdog hustle energy."

  How do you get inspired to write?   I usually get inspired by things I encounter, conversations I overhear, or quotes that stick with me. From there, I just start putting words together and let the story lead me.   How do you deal with writer’s block?   When I hit writer’s block, I step away, read something, watch TV, or go people-watching while wine tasting. Overhearing tipsy wine conversations is always entertaining. It helps me reset and relax so I can come back to the page with fresh ideas.   What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?   Is my baby daddy alive or dead? To me, he’s gone. To the world… 🤷🏾‍♀️   Slightly more mysterious lol.   The world thinks he’s still out there. I know better, because I buried him in my mind long ago.   What are you currently working on?   I’m working on another thriller. The working title is The Brother, however that’s subject to change.   Family should have your back. But what...

  The latest installment in our running conversations with authors making big moves these days. Today, at the Ripple Library we feature Cole Chase How do you get inspired to write? Writing is a compulsion for me. If I hear an awesome song, it stirs my creativity and makes me want to write. If I see an awesome movie, it stirs my creativity and I want to write. See Cirque du Soleil? Gotta write! Great metal band? Gotta write! It has always been in me. I don’t need special inspiration to write; the hard part is carving out time to write. How do you deal with writer’s block? I wrote marketing copy for years. When the assignment was “make a slogan for this product,” I’d just brute force it: “Okay, with no self-editing, I am going to write 25 slogans for this product and see what comes out.” But now I mostly write novels, and it’s easier to feel stuck. In that case I don’t feel “blocked” as much as I think I’ve taken a wrong turn in the story. Sometimes I just have to retreat for a day ...
