About Walker Lane Stranger
Reedsy Discovery reviewer, Gregg Sapp writes, "Stranger's bio introduces him, 'a retired physician who at age 75 decided to try his hand at creative writing.' I salute his life's work but wish he could've squeezed in some writing between surgeries. This stuff is good medicine."
Stranger currently resides in Nashville. He lives under the name of Lane Tippens, MD and had written one book about some of his life experiences...the final chapter yet to be determined.
STRANGER IN A DERANGED LAND
A physician's odyssey beginning in the riotous drug-saturated "sixties" and ending in quiet self-reflection within a mirror. The journey carries the reader through jail cells, illegal Mexican pulquerias and brothels, Mexican and American medical schools and emergency rooms, cockfights, bizarre patients, voodoo rites, incompetent physicians and even a space alien or two.
"Stranger in a Deranged Land paints a rich, nuanced portrait of life in Mexico and the United States during the late 20th century, offering readers an immersive journey into a bygone era. More than just a collection of anecdotes, this book is a testament to an extraordinary life lived across cultural boundaries, making for an enlightening and utterly captivating read." – Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan
