Paperback Giveaway (International) : The Surgeon’s Wife by William H. Coles

Trading his scalpel for a pen

Award-winning author weaves surgical background into new novel

SALT LAKE CITY– For decades, William H. Coles excelled in the medical field, as a prominent surgeon, educator, and author of multiple medical publications. Now an award-winning author, Coles is making as much of an impact in the literary world as he did in the surgery room. 

In his latest work, The Surgeon’s Wife, Coles weaves a thrilling tale of betrayal and revenge, centering on the careers of two New Orleans trauma surgeons and the adulterous affair that rips their lives apart. A short-list finalist in The William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition, the book’s themes of adultery, medical incompetence, social expectations and love, explore the joy and sorrow of contemporary life.

With six highly acclaimed former titles, Coles’ books and stories have won or been finalists in The Flannery O’Conner Award for Short Fiction, The SEAK Competition, the Sandhill Writers Competition and The William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. It’s his attention to detail- both with his characters and storyline- that have helped Coles excel as an author.

In The Surgeon’s Wife, Coles brings his medical background into his writing, making his depictions of surgery and medical details remarkably realistic. 

Although the medical details are sure to enthrall, it’s the strong character development and thrilling plot that takes readers on an exciting journey of romance, rebellion, injustice, and ultimately, revenge.
