Welcoming our beloved heroin, fellow literature lover, and our favourite character in Harry Potter… drumroll please, Hermoine Granger! A couple of days ago I was rewatching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the millionth time when I wondered what books Hermoine would read. Being the brains and the powerhouse of the Golden Trio, I always thought of Hermoine as the mitochondria. She was perpetually engulfed in a book, and her form of entertainment would be light reading to which Ron would nearly faint looking at the sight of the book’s thickness.. so I knew that her taste would be enriched with a heavy vocabulary and profound themes.

Author interview: The Literary Spotlight with Author William Lynes
Meet author William Lynes, a distinguished figure in both the medical and literary worlds. Born in 1953, Dr. Lynes is not only a seasoned urologist with board certification but also holds the esteemed honor of being a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha society. As a devoted family man, he navigates the roles of husband and father to three children alongside his professional endeavors. However, Dr. Lynes’ journey extends beyond the operating room and into the realm of storytelling. His passion for literature ignited during his pursuit of medical education in 1975 when he was advised to immerse himself in reading to enhance his application. This advice sparked a lifelong love affair with fiction, particularly the art of character creation. Inspired by literary giants like Charles Dickens, whose characters have become ingrained in our cultural lexicon, Dr. Lynes harbored ambitions of crafting equally memorable figures. In 1990, his children approached him with a request to feature in a story, thus planting the seeds for his debut work, “Pirates, Scoundrels, and Kings,” a fantasy-adventure tale set in medieval times with his family as the protagonists. Published in 2012, this marked the beginning of Dr. Lynes’ literary odyssey, which has since blossomed into a prolific career spanning eight novels, each delving into the captivating world of medical thrillers. Beyond his literary pursuits, Dr. Lynes is a survivor and vocal advocate for addressing physician burnout, mental illness, and the challenges of navigating multiple suicide attempts. Through his writing and advocacy, Dr. Lynes illuminates the human experience with depth, compassion, and a keen understanding of both the medical and literary landscapes.
