Trauma and Redemption

This debut novel takes the reader on a ride through the gory drama of the operating theatre, the cut and thrust of the boardroom, searches the darker corners of the pharmaceutical industry, all whilst exploring the consequences of an illicit love affair.

Stephen J. Garner

Trained as an oral surgeon, Stephen practised in an NHS maxilla-facial unit for nearly 20 years. Alongside his clinical work, he pursued his love of music, gaining a diploma in performance studies at the Birmingham Conservatoire. He went on to sing principal roles for Mid-Wales Opera, Scottish Opera and English National Opera. When retired from clinical practice, he was able to pursue a lifelong love of the written word, this being his debut novel. He lived in Bollington with his sculptor wife, Jane, and enjoyed an extended family with two children of his own, two stepchildren, and three grandchildren. A keen rock climber and mountaineer in his youth, Stephen always enjoyed forays into the fells and moors surrounding their home on the western edge of the Peak District.
