Triage
Description
Delayed, Urgent, Immediate… Triage is the name of the game in medicine-and life. Retired trauma doctor Craig Thompson wants a simple life-one where he can grieve his late wife and care for his black lab, Toby, in peace. To honor Emma, Craig started Wagz, the dog grooming saloon the couple had dreamed of once the adrenaline rush of Manhattan emergency medicine wore off and it was time to start a family back home in Indiana. But when his high school crush walks into Wagz carrying evidence that could avenge his wife's death, he faces a crossroads: turn his back on a potentially life-threatening coverup and continue in his solitude or dive into the trauma bays once again-in the very spot his wife lost her life.
One thing is sure: Starting over will have to take a number.

Person
Beth enjoys chucking words into sentences then standing back to see what magic?or mayhem?falls out, crafting tales in mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, and general "slice of life" fiction. She couldn't accomplish this without the help of her tutu-clad Little Miss Muse and Trudi the Concrete Office Goose, who's partial to superhero capes.
Her stories have appeared in multiple publications, including Pulphouse Fiction Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and in multiple fiction anthologies. She's received several Honorable Mentions from Writers of the Future. Her lighthearted blog peeks into the writing life as she pokes fun at herself and her circus of a life.
Follow the antics of Little Miss Muse and Trudi, read Beth's blog (she might have burned down her kitchen last week), and discover the stories at bapaul.com.
