Local Author visits Tipp City Library

Debra Gaskill attended our meeting of the Library Scribes at the Tipp City Library last Saturday. She came to promote her first novel, Barn Burner, and to share her experience with writing and getting published. She wrote her novel as part of her M.A. degree at Auntioch University McGregor. The meeting was productive, with many of the writers from Tipp City happy to interact with Debra. Ms. Gaskell is the Managing Editor of the Washington Court House Record Herald. Her novel is set in southwestern Ohio in the small fictional town of Jubilant Falls, home of a Christian college, and the setting of a kidnapping of a six year old little girl. Editor Addison McIntyr is beset with her own set of problems as she tries to take on the reporting of a story that hits her emotionally. The mother of the child is her close friend with child custody issues pending in her divorce proceedings. The mystery is a page-turner and well written. I am looking forward to her second novel.
