Segment 3 – Seeing Red: A Novel
“‘Seeing Red‘ takes us from the forests of Michigan to Hollywood and back again, through a world of celebrities, outcasts, and sinister figures lurking in the shadows. T.M. Doran presents a timely and gripping story in an era when the sick and disabled, and those trying to care for them, are deprived of their human rights.”
T. M. Doran is an environmental engineer and an adjunct professor at Lawrence Technological University in Michigan. He is the author of three novels, Terrapin (Ignatius Press, 2012), Toward the Gleam (Ignatius Press, 2011), and Iota (Ignatius Press, 2014). He is also a guest contributor to the Detroit Free Press, Catholic World Report blog, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, and the New York Times.
