THE AUTHOR

Jules M. Seletz graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1953 as a second lieutenant, and the Chicago Medical School in 1958 with an MD.  Following five years of post-graduate training at the Boston City Hospital, he practiced as a General and Peripheral Vascular Surgeon for 35 years.

He enjoyed a 41-year military career in the United States Army, rising to the rank of full colonel. Having served during Korea as a second lieutenant in 1953 as a field artillery officer, he deployed to Morocco, West Germany, Botswana, and finally to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during Desert Storm as a military surgeon.  Retired from the Army in 1994 while stationed at West Point, Dr. Seletz spent seven years as a physician surveyor for the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations—JCAHO.

JCAHO is the nationally and internationally accepted accrediting body for the Healthcare industry.  During those seven years, Dr. Seletz had several occasions to survey hospitals who had experienced untoward incidents, mishaps, and catastrophic outcomes known as sentinel events.

Dr. Seletz lives in Lincoln, New Hampshire, in the heart of the White Mountains where he enjoys skiing and mountain hiking with his wife of Acadian heritage.  Together, they have seven children and twelve grandchildren.  In addition to five novels that involve sentinel events—Sentinel Event, Not Another Sentinel Event, Code Pink, A Sentinel Event, West Point’s Sentinel Event, and Sentinel Event on the High Seas—he has also written three historical fiction novels. Pass In Review is a quartet of historical fiction books that mirrors his own life during the twentieth century tracing the technical progress of transportation and communication,  The four books that begin with his father's emigration from Russia at the turn of the last century and end with the new millennium are: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Jacob’s Ladder; Jacob’s Travels; and Jacob’s Novels.  A second historical fiction novel—Pulp, Potatoes, and Ployes—describes the plight of the Acadians following expulsion from Nova Scotia during the French and Indian War in 1755 and their survival in Northern Maine until 1955.  The third one describes the establishment of a former railroad logging and sawmill town in the heart of the White Mountains of New Hampshire during the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century—Lincoln Logs.
