Ann Gray presents a Trilogy: New Stories from the Old South |
Author Ann Gray drew inspiration from her own Southern heritage and produced a gripping account of the years before, during and after the Civil War through the lives of the Heirs family in Briars: The House of Heirs. Family genealogists researched her ancestry and that of her husband,Norm, who is retired from Paramount Motion Pictures and Television Studios where he worked as Production Manager and Director on such shows as "The Odd Couple", "Happy Days", and "Mork and Mindy", and learned that both their Southern families go back farther than five generations, long before the days of the Civil War. Ann's Great-great-grandfather, James Alexander White fought in the Confederate Army's Company A of the 8th Georgia Battalion of Volunteers, and was captured in 1864 and imprisoned in Illinois until the war's end in 1865. Pride in these revelations about her heritage drove the author to undertake the painstaking task of researching and faithfully depicting the times and turmoil of a Southern family in the 1800s. Ann Gray had been a successful writer of short stories for many years when her first novel, BRIARS: The House of Heirs, was published in 2002. In it, she follows a Southern family's struggles to tame the Georgia wilderness and establish the city of Atlanta. Their adventures also bring to life the difficult Civil War years. In the sequel, The INTANGIBLES File: A Gathering of Heirs, Ann entertains readers in a lighter mood as she draws them into a suspenseful mystery that throbs with ghostly overtones. Finally, in They Will Soar on Wings Like Eagles, she writes a stirring finale to the trilogy. Ann proudly says "It is always exciting to me when readers tell me personally, write or e-mail me to express their enjoyment of and appreciation for one of my novels. Especially, when it has taken several years to complete the work. All the while the book is in progress, I wonder if readers will find enough mystery, enough intrigue, enough concern for my characters to hold their interest until the end. Then finally, when readers express to me their deep affection for my people and the happiness they have derived from their reading experience, I am deeply touched and graciously rewarded for my efforts.
