About the Author
Bill Powers worked in pharmaceutical R&D (Johnson & Johnson) for 26 years, rising to the position of Vice President of Global Preclinical Development. In various management roles, Bill led groups of scientist in the US, Europe and Asia; administered multi-million dollar budgets and was instrumental in the successful development of several marketed pharmaceutical products. He has a Ph.D. in Toxicology and is a Diplomat of the American Board of Toxicology. He has published numerous abstracts, articles and book chapters on various topics in toxicology. Bill has traveled extensively in the US, Europe and Asia, leading research groups in Belgium and Mumbai, India. He is married, has one adult child and one brother. Bill’s love of words and books started in childhood, stimulated by parents who were both teachers. A voracious reader, he enjoys both fiction (R. Pearson, S. White, J. Patterson, H. Coben, D. Baldacci, S. Berry, etc.) and biographies (Lincoln, Grant, T. Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, etc.). Now that he has moved away from his industrial career, he plans to aggressively pursue his passion of becoming a published author.
About the Book
National Indie Excellence Award Finalist for 2014 in the Medical Mystery Thriller genre. A Suspense/Thriller Novel set in today’s International Pharmaceutical Industry. Story: What if a young scientist working in a pharmaceutical company is just trying to take care of his family but gets caught up in an international plot? This is the basis for my story – a thriller set in a NJ pharmaceutical company. The protagonist, Nick Harding, is struggling to raise a young daughter as a single parent and stumbles across a global plot to take over the pharmaceutical company where he works. Mysterious deaths occur, including Nick’s mentor. Nick’s career, family and life are threatened. Nick is kind of like Alan Gregory in the Stephen White stories, just a guy trying to get through life and take of his family, but things (bad people) keep getting in the way. I invite you to see how events play out for Nick and his family in The Pharm House.
