Writing and publishing a book is no small feat—it’s a journey that begins with an idea. Mine was to create a step-by-step atlas for veterinary reconstructive surgery. The project began during my university years, when I worked with four students who meticulously documented surgical procedures. Together, we compiled these into a book titled Reconstructive Surgery and Wound Management of the Dog and Cat.
Fast forward many moons, and it became clear the book needed a refresh to include updated techniques, references, and plenty of new photos of actual surgical flaps. To accomplish this, we reached out to colleagues, who enthusiastically supported the project. We also expanded our editorial team to include one of the field’s leading experts, Dr. Bryden Stanley.
After years of research, collaboration, and image collection, I’m thrilled to announce that the entire kit and caboodle has been sent to the editor! Now begins the proofing process and the countless editorial revisions to follow, but the most significant milestone has been achieved. Stay tuned!
