BOOK AWARDS Chanticleer Military & Front Line Awards First Place Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List Nellie Bly Book Awards Journalistic NonFiction Finalist Literary Titan Book Silver Award "A sublime personal account about the frightening Covid-19 surge." - Kirkus Reviews Grover Nicodemus Street is a travel nurse who felt it necessary to help others in these turbulent times. He has gone to COVID hotspots in the US since the beginning of the pandemic to do so and also to help keep his wife, who is a cancer survivor safe from this deadly virus. He also encountered many unbelievable events, like being suddenly stuck in the middle of a Black Lives Matter protest in New York, the storms of Florida last summer, and the gigafire of California. Grover's wife, Dr. Sandra de Abreu Guidry-Street stayed at home and researched the virus while he was working on the front lines. Even though he tried as hard as he could to keep COVID-19 away from his wife, it was not possible. Grover felt compelled to write about his travels to share his experiences and shed light on the actual reality of the patients and healthcare workers who are behind the closed doors of hospitals. He did not know how to start. Ja-ne de Abreu, his sister-in-law, just finished writing Sassy Food, about her polar opposite pandemic experience of quarantining while caregiving and growing food. As they discussed it, she became immediately inspired as to how to construct his wild year. Chasing the Surge is a compelling story about the Coronavirus global pandemic but also to dispel misbeliefs about this virus and the vaccine. Being a Black American, Grover is dedicating a portion of the proceeds towards educating minority communities about coronavirus and the safety of the vaccine.

Autorenporträt
As an ER and ICU travel nurse, Grover Nicodemus Street chased the coronavirus hotspots. Working in the medical field for over 25 years has helped him develop resilience, patience, and to be quick on his feet. Having multiple black belts in different disciplines also helps those feet move faster. He likes blueberry walnut pancakes and works out in his spare time, which is not much these days. It is his hope that his book, Chasing the Surge, helps you learn more about what is really going on behind the scenes in the hospitals right now and how to navigate through the COVID pandemic safely.
