Authors CornerIn the spirit of cooperation and communication, MERLIN has long held the view that diverse opinion is the cornerstone of learning, communicating and understanding. With that view in mind, we offer writers from all walks of emergency services to write about their experiences. Remember how your parents or mentors always told you, "do as I say, not as I do" or "learn from my mistakes"? That's the idea behind offering space to authors who have been down a path we may, or may not, have been down ourselves. I would hope that we all learn something from the experiences presented.
