Like the protagonist of her current novel, physician author B.C. Krygowski works at a top-tier Level 1 Trauma Hospital. Working and teaching part-time on the front lines enables her to blend two of her passions—medicine and writing—into crafting stories set in the dramatic medical world.
B.C.’s had many highlights in her writing journey. She’s studied under Tess Gerritsen, Laura Lippman, and Dennis Lehane. B.C. was asked by Dennis Lehane’s early mentor, Sterling Watson, to join his critique group when B.C. still lived near Sterling.
After moving out of the area, B.C. went on to found a dynamic critique group of advanced level authors. She also runs a mastermind for women novelists, Shakespeare’s Sisters. B.C. hosts writing retreats for both groups at a friend’s mountain lodge outside Boulder, Colorado. Although the Rocky mountains always beckon her, she can’t bear to leave the East Coast’s greenery … yet. It’s probably because she was born, raised, and educated in New York.
B.C. is a professional speaker, has authored scientific journal articles and Spending Habits for Professionals Who Want to FIRE, a niche book for physicians. It was ranked a 2020 best financial read by the White Coat Investor. She’s a member of Women’s Fiction Writing Association and won a first-place Royal Palm Literary Award.
