Dr. Eileen Merriman is clinical director of haematology and lead thrombosis clinician at North Shore Hospital in NZ. She is the past president of the Thrombosis and Haemostasis Society of Australia and NZ, and on various international committees for thrombosis. In her spare time, she has a second career as a published author of both adult and young adult fiction.
