Author bio

I am a psychiatrist with over 40 years of experience. I self published my memoir in 2019 (second edition), Psychiatry in Techno colors: a psychiatrist's memoir of lessons learned. It is a collection of essays about a wide range of topics in psychiatry including the history of diagnoses and treatment that I experienced firsthand. This year I published my first novel, Deception: A psychiatrist's stolen journal about two early career psychiatrists as they deal with many forms of deception while a serial killer is on the loose. It is a coming of age psychological thriller. It was written under the pseudonym, Aaron Riley. Both available on Amazon.com
