Putting real science in science fiction
**I received a copy from BookishFirst **
This book is amazing! I am so happy to find that there is someone out there informing writers to get behind the real science in their story subjects. I see so many books where one little thing is wrong that messes up the whole story to me. The biggest, and it’s like a stab in the heart, is for example, there’s a really popular book out now about a nurse working in an ER and a vampire is raiding the bloodbank. First of all, ERs don’t have bloodbanks, labs do. Second, WE ARE NOT NURSES! We are laboratory technicians or technologist. Or clinical lab scientists. We are the ones who type blood and crossmatch it then sign it out to the nurse. We get no credit. We are called phlebotomists or nurses. No one sees us or know we exist. Sorry to rant. But one little google would’ve helped this author. Books I would read, if I see that, I won’t buy. I think this book would be invaluable to authors. I love how it’s laid out and organized. This makes me want to write a book. Who knows, maybe I will.
