Dear Readers and Writers,I invite you to visit my website

Dirk Wyle is the pen name of Duncan H. Haynes, Ph.D., a 30-year veteran of biomedical science with a lifelong interest in literature. Commrcial success of his drug microencapsulation technology enabled an early retirement from the duties of medical school professor, allowing him to invent new challenges and adventures for his youthful protagonists, Ben Candidi (Ph.D.) and Rebecca Levis (M.D.).Believing there are no stone walls separating the realms of popular science, serious literature and formal mystery, Dirk Wyle creates stories that play out in all three arenas. Some stories start out with Ben accepting a "straightforward project." Others start while Ben is tagging along on one of Rebecca's world health projects. Others start with the couple on vacation. But in all cases the situation quickly turns from perplexing to mysterious to sinister, with Ben fighting for his life before the mystery is solved.Like his protagonists, Dirk Wyle does not regard work and play as necessarily separate activities. He enjoys extended periods of research in exotic locales.
