D.G. Gass ~ Day 17 of 365 Days of Great Authors and Giveaways!

Who is D.G. Gass?

Inspired by Walt Whitman and Carolyn Keefe, author D.G. Gass, from a young age, has always loved to write. It just took 40-years for her to believe in her work enough for it not to find the trash when she finished. Originally from Jeannette, PA, the Yankee transplant, currently resides in Columbia, SC with her husband and daughter, not to mention, three cats that own her.

A veteran of the US Air Force, whose day job is in healthcare IT, the author has a passion for veterans issues, which is the driving force behind her first book, “Ghosts of Arlington”. When she’s not writing, she can be found curled up with a good book, working on handcrafts, or staring blankly at walls in a catatonic state.

D.G. Gass released her first poetry compilation, Twilight Ponderings, Midnight Musings at the beginning of 2011. The compilation is a series of poetry and prose that was born out of loving someone with diagnosed chronic depression.

• What genres are your favorites to read?

Paranormal/horror, mystery, romance

How about to write in? 

Not sure yet. Ghosts of Arlington is a mixture of paranormal and romance. I currently have a murder mystery, a horror and a romance in the works. I guess I'll know the answer to that question by the end of 2012.

• Who is one of your favorite characters that you have written? 

Billy Benning. Please tell us about him/her and what book they are in. In Ghosts of Arlington, Billy is Aaron's brother. While he's not a major character, he's the antagonist to the main character, Candace. Writing his dialogue was fun.

• For those who have not read your work yet, what book would you recommend starting with? 

Ghosts of Arlington. Not only is it my first work of fiction, but a portion of the royalties for each book sold is donated to the Wounded Warrior Project

Book Spotlight:

Ghosts of Arlington

Not all ghosts remain on the battlefield...

As an Army wife, Candace Benning understood and was prepared for what might happen. She was prepared when her husband was sent to the Middle East twice. She was prepared when they told her of his injuries and the months of therapy that would be needed. She was prepared for the psychological battles he might face. She was prepared for everything - or so she thought.

After witnessing her husband's suicide, Candace tries to move on, despite the emotions and the memories that haunt her. But memories aren't the only things haunting her. Recurring dreams and unexplained events have her worried for her sanity. Was she experiencing the effects of posttraumatic stress or was there really something beyond the grave reaching out?

And what about Everett Bayard, the reporter in search of a story in the wake of the Walter Reed scandal?Was his appearance just a coincidence or was there something else behind it? Whatever it was, Everett would be the key that draws Candace back into a fight she had hoped she'd left behind.A fight to save the Ghosts of Arlington.
