BIOGRAPHY

About the Author
Douglas Gosselin has spent a lifetime studying the forces that shape nations—first through years of military and government service, and now through fiction that explores the quiet fractures beneath history’s surface.

A former airborne infantry scout, law enforcement official, federal contracting officer, and contingency war planner in the U.S. Air Force, Gosselin’s work took him across Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Later, in roles with a major defense contractor, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Departm... ent of Labor, he worked across a range of complex challenges at the intersection of infrastructure, policy, and resilience.

Due to the nature of his assignments, much of that work remained compartmentalized—even among those he served alongside. It shaped a life of reflection, quiet observation, and a deep respect for the stories that rarely get told.

Now, he writes.

His debut novel, Pawn to King's End, begins the Secrets of the Republic series—a sweeping historical thriller set during the Great Derangement at the start of the French and Indian War. Based on his own Acadian ancestors, the story follows a family caught in the collision of empires and the rising tide of revolution. It’s a meditation on loyalty, survival, and the unfinished work of freedom.

The second installment in the series, Phantom Patriot: Degrees of Spies, arrives June 2, 2025.

In addition to historical fiction, Gosselin co-authored False Foreword: The Algorithm is the Weapon with longtime colleague Dr. Lusgado Signolés—a genre-bending psychological techno-thriller releasing April 2025. Blending narrative psychology, emerging technology, and global intelligence dynamics, the book explores the shifting battlegrounds of information and belief.

For Gosselin, history isn’t just a record of the past—it’s a living system of memory, power, and perception. And the most important truths are often those hidden in plain sight.

      • I believe you are referring to The Hollow That Ate the Sun, which is about four brother growing up along the Buffalo Bayou in the mid to late 1970s. It goes into their life together, a bit of trouble, their close bond, and also a very dark, suspenseful adventure they stumble into in the bayou. This is not supernatural, but a bit dark with some interesting historical facts about the area. If you were referring to False Foreword, let me know.

      • While conducting genealogical research, I discovered a couple of ancestors whose stories I found compelling—Clément Gosselin and Gabriel Gosselin. Both were directly impacted by the British incursion into Acadia in 1755, and Clément played a significant role throughout the American Revolution. Their experiences sparked my imagination, leading me to write Pawn to King's End.

        I've been writing in one way or another all of my life, but only the last year have I decided to actually put my thoughts down into a manuscript and publish.

        The book required extensive historical research to ensure the fiction remained closely aligned with historical facts, but make no mistake—this is no history book. It’s a story driven by real events, but brought to life through narrative and character. To find out how their journey unfolds, you’ll have to read the book!

      • If I were to change genres, I would choose fictional murder mysteries. There’s something compelling about the puzzle—unraveling motives, following the clues, and keeping readers guessing until the very end. I enjoy historical research, and murder mysteries often require a similar level of detail, ensuring every piece of the story fits together seamlessly. Plus, the genre allows for deep character exploration, intricate plotting, and the thrill of suspense—elements I already enjoy weaving into my writing.

      • When I’m writing, my schedule is simple—I write from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep at night. It’s an all-consuming process, and once I’m deep into a story, I don’t like to break my momentum. Of course, I do make time to say hello to my wife for lunch, but beyond that, my focus stays on the writing. When inspiration strikes, I follow it, whether it’s refining historical details, developing characters, or crafting the next twist in the story.

      • A good cover and title are essential because they create the first impression of a book. The title should intrigue and hint at the story’s deeper themes, while the cover needs to visually capture the book’s tone and essence, drawing readers in before they even turn the first page.

        For Pawn to King's End, the title suggests strategy, sacrifice, and an inevitable conclusion—fitting for a historical novel shaped by war, loyalty, and survival. The cover, featuring the silhouette of a rider on a copper-colored horse in front of a barn engulfed in flames, is designed to evoke mystery, danger, and urgency. It visually signals that this is a story of high stakes, historical turmoil, and personal battles. A strong cover and title work together to set expectations and invite the reader into the world you’ve created.

      • Yeah, I do read my book reviews. It’s always interesting to see how readers respond to the story—what they love, what surprises them, and sometimes what doesn’t quite work for them. The good reviews are, of course, great to read. It’s rewarding to know that people connected with the characters and the historical details I worked hard to get right.

        The bad ones? Well, the first impact is a bit of a gut punch, but they’re part of the deal. Not every book is for every reader, and that’s okay. If there’s constructive feedback, I take that very serious and act on it quickly depending on when the review is received. Before publishing, negative constructive feedback is welcomed the most. It’s just a matter of taste, I don’t let it get to me. At the end of the day, I write the stories I want to tell, and I know they’ll find the right audience.
