I’m a retired scientist and academic administrator, now spending full-time as an author. I formerly held positions at Harvard Medical School and Boston University as professor, department chair, and associate dean. In addition to over 100 scientific papers, I’ve written two textbooks and one general audience book on cancer as well as a cell biology text, The Cell, now in its eighth edition.
As a novelist, I’ve brought my experience in the world of academic research to life as a backdrop for fiction. My first novel, The Prize, is an award-winning medical thriller based on fraud, deceit and violence growing out of the discovery of a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
My second novel, Nondisclosure, explores sexual misconduct in medical research. Set in a Boston research university, Nondisclosure deals with a case of sexual harassment that escalates to rape and murder.
In my newest novel, Forever, a suspected case of Chinese academic espionage in a genomic engineering laboratory sets off a hunt leading from Boston to the coast of southern Maine, where a killer lies in wait. Publication of Forever is expected in the summer of 2020.

Mr. Cooper, my name is Bill Bushnell, the book reviewer for the Kennebec Journal and Central Maine Morning Sentinel. I am writing to request a review copy of your new novel, “Nondisclosure.” My review column, “Bushnell on Books,” features books by Maine authors and your novel might be a nice fit for a future column. Would you please consider sending me a review copy?
Of course, I cannot guarantee it will be selected for review and review copies are not returned. If this is acceptable, you may send it to my editor: Ms. Sharon Wood, Kennebec Journal, 36 Anthony Avenue, Augusta, ME 04330, phone (207) 621-5690. Or if you prefer, you may send it directly to me: Bill Bushnell, 133 Gurnet Landing Road, Harpswell, ME 04079, phone (207) 729-5285.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best wishes, Bill Bushnell
