Great name. Let's use it twice.
Today I noticed, after wandering over to the B&N site to peek at the page for WAKING LAZARUS, that there's a slight typo on my author name. I'm listed as "Hines L. Hines."
Which really, when you think about it, has a certain cadence and rhythm. Makes you remember the name a bit more, because it's two repetitions in one name, simply offset by a middle initial. (And REALLY makes you wonder what that middle initial stands for, doesn't it?) It also has that certain, Butros Butros Gali kind of appeal to it. I mean, come on: name me just one other Secretary General of the UN. Just one.
My point exactly.

Oh, c'mon, Tony. Dag Hammar-however-you-spell-it? U Thant? Talk about memorable names!
But I'd shake off the Hines L. Hines if I were you. It sounds too much like Humbert Humbert.

I always wondered if Duran Duran had a middle name...

Hines. Hmmmmm. I think it gives you a certain je ne sais quoi, panache maybe, an exotic, European flavor. Or maybe that's ketchup I'm thinking of. You might consider changing the spelling, though, Heinz... er Tony.

Hines L. Hines sounds more like Hall & Oats or Yo Yo Ma. It's definitely mysterious.
And by the way...

I'd naturally assume the L stood for "Loves"
ar-ar.
