Lynn Zubernis

Lynn Zubernis is a psychologist, a university professor, a proud mom -- and a passionate fangirl. She has spent the last 15 years going behind the scenes of her favorite television shows. Her latest book, "Supes Ain't Always Heroes: Inside the Complex Characters and Twisted Psychology of 'The Boys'", takes a deep dive into the hit Prime Video series, with chapters by psychologists and media experts, and exclusive interviews with Jensen Ackles (Soldier Boy), Aya Cash (Stormfront), Nathan Mitchell (Black Noir) and more. Lynn has also edited two books on her forever favorite show, Supernatural. "There'll Be Peace When You Are Done: Actors and Fans Celebrate the Legacy of Supernatural" is a love letter to the show from both the actors who star in it and the fans who kept it on the air for 15 seasons, including Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. The book is an emotional homage to the show and a permanent reminder of what has made it so special, in the actors' and fans' own words - and why we will never forget it! (Reboot, anyone?) "Family Don't End With Blood," includes original chapters written by thirteen Supernatural actors, including Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins, and ten passionate fans, who all wrote personal and powerful essays about the impact the show and the fandom have had on their lives. She also co-edited "Supernatural Psychology" along with Travis Langley, and with fellow fangirl and professor Kathy Larsen, wrote "Fangasm: Supernatural Fangirls", which chronicles their often humorous (and occasionally embarrassing) misadventures on a wild and crazy 'roadtrip through fandom' and behind the scenes on Supernatural. They also wrote a more academic exploration of Supernatural and its fans, "Fandom At The Crossroads", and edited "Fan Phenomena: Supernatural", with essays by fans, researchers, cast and crew of the show, including Misha Collins and Richard Speight Jr. Lynn also writes a column in Psychology Today and for MovieTvTechGeeks, and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Fandom Studies. Still head over heels for Supernatural after all these years. Do not send help.
