It's become increasingly clear that healthcare workplaces are filled with non-inclusive behavior. People who are underrepresented because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and identity, disabilities, and other factors regularly face biases and challenges that hold them back from success. These include everything from harassment, dismissive behavior, and lack of credit for their contributions, to pay inequity, extra hurdles to advancement, and more. And while many organizations are looking to address these issues with top-down initiatives, there's also an important role for individuals to play in creating a more inclusive culture via everyday acts of allyship.

Alice MacDonald Greer is relishing life, love, and her thriving wills and real estate law practice in small town Coffee Creek, deep in the scenic Texas Hill Country. She's engaged to Ben Kinsear but still puzzling over how they'll merge their lives. Then local politics heat up, and suddenly Alice's life turns hot--maybe too hot to handle.
Retired judge Edwin Mahan hires Alice for two unusual tasks: to supervise an archeology dig on his Hill Country property, and to help him publish his controversial history of Coffee County. Intrigued, Alice rises to the challenge. The history manuscript describes murders on the judge's land in 1847-involving dead Comanches, a dead horse, a deadly pistol, and two dead German immigrants. With no murderer caught, no trial was ever held.
But Judge Mahan is all about creating an accurate fact record. When Alice and her assistant Silla discover the latest murder victim, it's clear someone will stop at nothing to silence the dead and the living--including Alice.
The iconic Hill Country setting of ancient limestone seabed, with its fossils, hidden springs, and blue-green creeks, sets the stage for this legal thriller and for Alice's desperate search for the murderer, aided by the indomitable Silla, her red-haired barrel-racing legal assistant. Join Alice as she tangles with mystery, legal drama, and matters of the heart.
Ghost Bones is Book 9 in the Alice MacDonald Greer Mystery series.

Hard-hitting veteran reporter Deuce Mora is awakened in the pre-dawn hours and called to the scene of a gruesome hanging to identify the body of a dear friend, an FBI agent on the verge of taking down one of Chicago's biggest Mob operations. Deuce knows it's murder, but the authorities have no choice but to call it a suicide - the death scene was triple-locked from the inside.
And with that, author Heller, a former journalist and frequent Pulitzer nominee, takes her place with Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the great Edgar Allan Poe himself as one of the few authors ever to pull off a locked-room murder. In this one, half the fun is trying to figure out the locked-room puzzle. And the delight of finding one in a contemporary mob mystery.
The other half, of course, is the tenacious Deuce herself, the tough, hard-boiled, and ever-human reporter who goes places the cops don't even know about. And Heller's intricate, action-packed mystery story.
The ill wind sweeping the Windy City has also whipped up two more unexplainable deaths - of perfectly healthy, able-bodied young mobsters, key witnesses about to flip on the top leaders of the Mob operation. Neither the Chicago police nor the FBI can come up with a cause of death - and they've looked at every kind of toxin - but our meticulous investigator, whose stock-in-trade is death-defying leaps of logic, fits together a couple of impossible puzzle pieces. The downside is that the bad guys figure out where their greatest exposure lies - and Deuce quickly becomes their new target.
Enter a Washington reporter who has been following the organized crime investigation for months at its source, in D.C. He and Deuce share a dark secret and he knows exactly where to apply pressure on her demons to keep her on the trail of her friend's murderers. But as the Windy City begins to look more and more like the Chicago of Al Capone days, with bodies turning up in the river and shoot-outs in public places, Deuce discovers she couldn't walk away even if she wanted to. Whoever is at the top - and this is Chicago, so the top is always way up - will stop at nothing to shut down this investigation.
Well, in this case, what you don't see, is what you'll get. -Dr. Naomi Alexander
It's hardly business as usual when cagy psychiatrist, Dr. Naomi Alexander, sleuths her way through trauma counseling in the aftermath of a patient's home invasion.
After suffering a vicious attack years ago, Cecily still lives and breathes in the debilitating world of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Nearly every day is a reminder punctuated by episodes of fear and confusion, anger and withdrawal. She seeks solace and support from her husband, Oscar-but little is forthcoming. Oscar hasn't time to worry about Cecily, when so many of his plans and dreams are falling by the wayside; plans that don't include Cecily.
Cecily's job as a finance consultant is the only bright spot; it's the one place free of fear and hostility. But with Cecily's boss, Joshua Hall, even that has its own rather interesting complications.
A PTSD attack finds Cecily needing therapy once again, and through trauma counseling with psychiatrist, Dr. Naomi Alexander, Oscar and Cecily deal with many factors affecting Cecily's troubles. Oscar, however, proves a challenge every step of the way. But he doesn't know whom he's dealing with: Dr. Alexander thrives on challenges.
Broken, full of shame and despair, Cecily feels she's heard it all in therapy before. But this time, the chair is yellow-and the results will be different. Naomi pulls few punches as Cecily's sessions are exercises in pain and confusion and regret and...revelation.
Cecily's revelations, however, may be too late: Oscar's new (and deadly) plans are in motion...
In this intense domestic suspense, Naomi's therapy world seems to be closing in on her as she treats a most desperate patient broken by the charade of benevolence. And sometimes doctors don't win.
Find out if Naomi's approach to the case will be enough to save a life.
