Edwin Dasso

Edwin Dasso, M.D., is a USA TODAY bestselling author whose medical thrillers draw on decades of experience inside major medical centers and community hospitals. His Jack Bass series combines authentic medicine, psychological suspense, crime, and the lasting effects of trauma. At its heart is a physician and Army veteran whose instinct is always to protect the person who needs him most—even when doing so puts him in danger. It is a world of COMPASSION UNDER FIRE, where the hardest choices reveal who Jack Bass really is. Dasso's fiction is informed by the kinds of “stranger than fiction” events he encountered during his medical career. Readers may be surprised by how many seemingly unbelievable situations in his novels have roots in actual hospital experiences. His books have earned multiple Readers' Favorite 5-Star Reviews and recognition in the Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest. Dasso and award-winning actor, playwright, and screenwriter Brian Kurlander adapted ALMOST BROKEN into a television series based on the Jack Bass novels. The pilot has been named a finalist at the Big Apple Film Festival, Singapore Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival, and Golden Lion Geneva Awards, and an Official Selection of the 2026 Cannes Film Awards. Dasso is a member of International Thriller Writers and the Authors Guild. Fiction writing is reviving a lost love from earlier periods in his life where he enjoyed writing short stories. In addition to a number of years as a practicing anesthesiologist and critical care specialist, he has published articles in national healthcare journals, written many "Ask the Doctor" columns and has spoken frequently at national healthcare forums. He has also been instrumental in designing and deploying population health programs to help people deal with depression related to poor health.
