Author Alan Livingston is a Fort Worth, Texas native living in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. A business school alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, a survivor of Hurricane Katrina and multiple cancers, he began writing full-time after a long hospitality industry career.
His most recent novel, "Bogeys: Armistice", is the first of two books comprising a unique aviation-centered historical adventure of romance, friendships, flying, and international intrigue. In “Armistice”, two Allied pilots crash into the lives of a French family in the waning days of World War One. When the Armistice stops the fighting in 1918, the book’s intertwined characters and the village of Bonsant join the world to face an uncertain future. Action and suspense are tempered by romance in a thrilling read.
Part Two of the Bogeys series follows them all into the interwar period. Coming soon, the characters of "Armistice" find those dreamed-of lives together could become plans going astray. Murders are but one of many hurdles disrupting their dreams. This new novel completes the Bogeys saga, and is coming soon!
Livingston’s debut novel is the acclaimed inspirational fiction "Gabriel’s Creek", a spiritual fantasy about life, the living of it, and the end of it. In the sanctuary of a magical golf course that exists somewhere between the earthly world and the next, a uniquely gifted dog guides aging man Chris Collins through a round reviewing his life, bringing him peace. Golfers and non-golfers alike find themselves touched by this exploration of our innermost curiosities in a way they didn’t expect.
