Savannah, GA, Sep 09, 2026 – Anderson Gibbons, a retired military veteran, is building early momentum for his upcoming novel My Third Self, a literary epic fantasy rooted in grief, family, and the quiet work of living after loss.

The story carries readers into a realm where Time is not just a concept, but a force. Oryious, the central consciousness of the novel, exists through three selves: who he was, who he is, and who he may become. His journey moves through hidden planes, ancient powers, and family bonds that refuse to break.

For Gibbons, the emotional foundation of the book is deeply personal. In the manuscript’s acknowledgments, he reflects on writing as a way of coping with indifference, the death of his brother, and the challenges of life after military service. That honesty gives My Third Self a rare weight beneath its fantasy architecture.

“This story gave me a way to examine the things people carry but do not always say out loud,” Gibbons said. “I wanted to write something imaginative, but also something honest. The worlds may be cosmic, but the emotions are human.”

My Third Self is designed for readers who want fantasy with scope and substance. Its world includes powerful houses, ancient agreements, dangerous memories, and a family trying to survive forces larger than themselves.

The pre-launch campaign will introduce readers to the book’s mythology, its emotional core, and the author behind the work.
