Hello My Happy People,

I am so thrilled to sharing with all of you today my incredible interview with award-winning author Joel Shulkin, MD. Not only is Joel a practicing physician, but he is also the author of engaging medical thrillers. 

There is nothing I love better than when actual professionals in the medical and criminal investigation fields write thrillers. You know you are going to get stories filled with accurate details that will give the story that extra something to really drive the story. 

Joel is a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and United States Air Force veteran with a master’s in public health and has used this background to enhance his amazing storytelling skills in his books including Adverse Effects and Toxic Effects, the first two novels in the Memory Thieves series. He has also penned award-winning short stories and poetry with more books already scheduled for 2026.  

Today we chat about his recent book Heroic Measures, a forensic technothriller in his new Death Benefits series. Joel lives in Florida with his wife, two daughters, and two dogs.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
