Dr Bernie Unrau DDS overcame much adversity and plight. After accidently stumbling across an article in a 1985 CDA (Canadian Dental Association) Journal entitled “Dentists as Detectives” and a 4 minute video by Robin Cook MD, about how he wrote his best selling books usually in 6 weeks each summer, Bernie declared, “by God I can do that!
"Dr Gum” is the dental gumshoe type detective and central character in his harrowing tales. Part bumbling lieutenant Columbo, the crafty Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Conan Doyle also a physician or the determination of Tom Clancy’s Dr Jack Ryan. Coupled with the research of Michael Crichton’s science fiction action adventures or John Grisham’s chilling legalistic thrillers, many of his suspense filled stories were inspired by his own travels and personal experiences.
Bernie plans to pen many more books and screenplays like the prolific Zane Grey, turn of the century dentist turned novelist turned screenwriter who went on to pen 100 books which became 100 films, westerns, before Clint Eastwood’s. A set of Bernie’s books are next to Zane’s in the American Dental Association Library Archives in Chicago. His mission is to place many more millions of smiles on people’s faces around the globe then he ever could practicing dentistry. Bernie has enjoyed travel, tennis, sailing, skiing, hiking, cycling, flying, reading and thinking.
Whether unraveling nuclear threats, on the trail of a bioterrorist or caught in the middle of natural and unnatural disasters; uncovering a dastardly scheme, deadly dilemma or possible impending global pandemic; bringing a new medical breakthrough or the latest leading edge technology to light; chasing a famous art forgery or finding the answers to a frightening futuristic fiasco, Bernie brings these issues to light in a highly imaginative way. His 36 science fiction thrillers read like science fact. 35 screenplay adaptations, 88 scripts and counting, 25,000 + original scenes, 10 + millions words, several of which are in discussions to be made into feature films.
