A self-described adventure writer, Sasser has drawn inspiration from his global travels, including experiences like dogsledding in the Arctic, kayaking the Inside Passage, and sailing solo across the Caribbean.
His diverse background also includes roles as a combat correspondent, professional rodeo clown, and even a homicide detective.

In addition to the library event, Sasser will be holding another book signing on Feb. 9, at the First Baptist Church of Wagoner.
Sasser has lived in Wagoner County for the past 30 years, and while the area has influenced his life, it is his worldwide adventures that have shaped his writing career. From his military background to his thrilling explorations, Sasser’s experiences have provided rich material for his books.
Sasser’s book Patton’s Panthers is also being adapted into a movie, adding to his growing list of achievements.

Sasser’s Patton’s Panthers tells the powerful true story of the African American 761st Tank Battalion during World War II. The battalion fought for 183 consecutive days, engaging in key offensives under General Patton, including at the Battle of the Bulge.
They defeated over 6,000 enemy soldiers, captured thirty towns, and liberated concentration camps, making history as the first African American armored unit to serve in combat.
This heroic tale highlights the 761st's legacy of courage, resilience, and the fight for equality in the U.S. military. Their motto, “Come Out Fighting,” reflects their determination to overcome both enemy forces and racial discrimination.

Sasser’s books, including Traveling Adventure Road, can be purchased on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
