I.M. Aiken

The Little Ambulance War of Winchester County is debut novel. Stolen Mountain follows in September of 2025. Captain Henry will be published in September of 2026. In the between moments, we are publishing a series of short stories as Trowbridge Dispatch. All works are written by me and I limped my sorry self through the recordings as well.

I have worked on ambulances off and on since the 1980s starting in the Boston where I was born and raised. After school and the required lost-period that followed, I landed in Alaska. Between sailing and skiing, I worked with the US Public Health Service before slipping into the post-9/11 world of government agencies. Which then triggered a letter from Uncle inviting me on yet-another adventure. Thus, as a civilian I spent about 18 months as a member of a unit of the 4th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. Texas for training, Kuwait, Iraq, then finally home to New England.
