Author and Former Surgeon William H. Coles Creates Award-winning Modern Fiction With a Medical Twist
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) September 19, 2013 -- Dr. William H. Coles, former surgeon and current literary teacher, has blended his unique background into his award-winning new novel, Guardian of Deceit.
Coles creates a fascinating character-driven story following protagonist Darwin as he tries to walk in his deceased parent’s shoes, hoping to become a doctor. Achieving his goals becomes more difficult as he tries to traverse a new and unusual family dynamic fronted by a challenging celebrity guardian.
“I am a big supporter of classic literature with strong characters and a story that addresses the human condition” said Coles “I teach that the best fiction is written from a point of familiarity. That’s why I created a fictional world that reflects real life ethical issues with a medical lens.”
It is easy to see why Guardian of Deceit was a finalist in the William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition in 2012 as Coles melds modern social issues of malpractice, love versus lust, drugs and harassment into Darwin’s unusual world.
