Bio: Carrie Rubin is a physician with a master’s degree in public health. She’s been easing into fiction writing for the past 15 years and is a member of the International Thriller Writers association. In addition to writing medical thrillers, she maintains a humor blog on her website. She lives in Ohio with her husband and two sons.
Favorite thing about being a writer: Being able to tell stories and bring characters to life.
Biggest challenge as an indie author: Promotion. Whether self-published or small-press published, getting our books in front of new eyes requires a daily time commitment, not to mention stepping out of our introverted shoes.
Favorite book: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. Its beautifully written, yet heart-wrenching story of impoverished life in 1975 India stayed with me for a long time. But I also love Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, Midwives by Chris Bohjalian, and the A-Z mystery series by Sue Grafton. Oops, did I just cheat by listing so many?

Hey, Carrie! I I love that book Memoirs of a Geisha. I’d like to check out the others, too.
Hi Amy! I rarely reread books, but if I were to reread any, A Fine Balance or Memoirs of a Geisha would be it. And maybe A Tale of Two Cities. I don’t read classics much anymore, but I always loved that one.
It’s hard to reread when there’s so much to read!
Exactly.
Thanks so much for the spotlight, Barbara! It’s an honor to be included here.

Great spotlight. Love your answer to favorite book Carrie–I have an awful time naming just one too!
