Author Description Mark Rubinstein graduated from NYU with a degree in business. He then served in the army as a field medic tending to paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division. After discharge, he re-entered NYU as a premed student.<br /><br />As a medical student at the State University of New York, he developed an interest in psychiatry, discovering in that specialty the same thing he realized in reading fiction: every patient has a compelling story to tell. He became a board-certified psychiatrist. <br /><br />In addition to his private practice he became a forensic psychiatrist because of the drama and conflict in the courtroom. He also taught psychiatric residents, interns, psychologists, and social workers at New York Presbyterian Hospital, and became a clinical assistant professor at Cornell University’s medical school.<br /><br />He is a contributor to <i>Psychology Today</i> and <i>The Huffington Post</i>.<br /><br />Before turning to fiction, Rubinstein coauthored five medical self-help books: <i>The First Encounter: The Beginnings in Psychotherapy</i> (Jason Aronson); <i>The Complete Book of Cosmetic Facial Surgery</i> (Simon and Schuster); <i>New Choices: the Latest Options in Treating Breast Cancer</i> (Dodd Mead); <i>Heartplan: A Complete Program for Total Fitness of Heart & Mind</i> (McGraw-Hill), and <i>The Growing Years: A Guide to Your Child’s Emotional Development from Birth to Adolescence</i> (Atheneum).<br /><br />Rubinstein's high-octane thriller <i> Mad Dog House</i> was a finalist for the 2012 ForeWord Book Of The Year Award for suspense/thrillers. His 2nd thriller, <i> Love Gone Mad, </i> was published in September 2013 and his novella, <i>The Foot Soldier</i> (November 2013) won the Silver award in the 2014 Benjamin Franklin Awards competition, in the Popular Fiction category.
