(Charles) Alan Livingston's most recent novel is "Bogeys: Armistice", Part One of the "Bogeys" historical adventure serial. The aviation-centered series follows World War One aviators as their lives intertwine with the fictitious French village of Bonsant. Beginning near the end of the war, romance, friendship and international intrigue brew in this series introduction.

The author's first novel is 2014's "Gabriel's Creek", an inspirational fantasy of an introspective day. An aging man seeking answers late in life finds himself in the sanctuary of an uncharted golf course. An unusual dog leads him through a round of introspective enlightenment in a look at life, the living of it, and the end of it.

I did not just add "A Higher Call" to my list, I added it when I finished reading it in September, 2013. That means that for over two years, my five-star rating for that outstanding book has been on my list. I invite you to read my review in order to learn how I liked this book. I'll consider your other recommendation if my "To Read" list needs additions in the future. Thanks.(less)
