"Karl Gibbons was born in 1949 and raised in what would today be described as an underprivileged suburb. He left school at the age of 15 to pursue an apprenticeship as a Panel Beater, before entering the world of Automotive Design where he enjoyed a career spanning some 39 years. The son of a POW, he has long held an emotional interest in the war and post war era and the effects on our veterans. It is no surprise that his first novel would be centred around the war and the families that were left to cope alone with the returned serviceman and women and the struggles they had, as they tried to return to some resemblance of normal life."
