About

Born during the 20th Century’s Great Depression, R. M. Gibson spent his early years in rural, north central Indiana. After a diverse and interesting career including, amongst other things, serving on a minesweeper during the Korean conflict, working for the company that built the Apollo spacecraft, and later having key roles with New York companies, he settled in Europe and now lives in Luxembourg with his educator wife. His hobbies are as varied as his career path has been and include classical music, travel, gardening, photography and more.

As well as writing for himself, Mr. Gibson has taken the rough draft of a dear departed friend and skillfully turned it into a collection of vignettes about a New York saloon which encompass humour, seriousness, and at times, sadness. With its colourful array of characters weaving in and out, it’s a book suitable for all readers.

Description

Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview. Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.

Reviews

In this book, which is at times funny, serious and sad, we meet many characters who visit The Guardsman, a pub that could have inspired the T.V. programme “Cheers”. Among the regulars you will observe the varying traits in people and learn the hilarious, not to be missed, story behind a curious needlepoint hanging. I was very pleased to see a book that was a collection of sketches or vignettes. This allows readers to pick up and put the book down at will. I enjoyed this book as I could “dip in and dip out”. I admired the skill of the author in his close observations of his characters and his ability to produce laughter, feelings of poignancy and anger in the reader. I would recommend this book to all readers. Mary Mansell – Oxford This is a part-fictional collection of short stories based around a Saloon called The Guardsman in an area of New York City. It is a collection of short stories linked together by the same backdrop, The Guardsman – a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The author’s love and affection for the saloon is obvious and quite becoming, and I can feel the passion and sentimentality coming from the writer. I have no doubt had I been there and experienced what he did, I would have loved it just as much, and have just as fond thoughts and unforgettable stories, as he has. Anyone who enjoys reminiscing about certain eras in their life, particularly those spent in a favourite pub/saloon will identify with this. The writing is consistent, well-linked, good sentence structure and good grammar and I would recommend this book primarily for the older generation. Angela Christian – London
