Alan Livingston worked in the hospitality industry for over 30 years. His work in hotels, resorts, golf courses, and casinos included positions from corporate executive to table games dealer from Georgia to California and many other points in between. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, he is the youngest son of an aeronautical engineer and a teacher/musician. A second-generation alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, Livingston seeks to publish his first novel, the inspirational Gabriel’s Creek. Now a freelance writer, he is blogging and writing magazine articles while several works of fiction, memoir, and non-fiction are underway.
Alan’s writing experience is extensive, but his publishing history is not, having been previously published only in newspapers and an e-magazine. He briefly wrote a monthly column while the General Manager of a Property Owners’ Association in Diamondhead, Mississippi. His professional technical writing over the years included authoring both local and company-wide policies and procedures for a variety of disciplines in hotels and resorts, including accounting and golf. Detailed full-property visit reports as a Regional Operations Controller for upscale hotels and resorts included critiques of service standards at all levels of guests’ experience through operational performance reviews of all departments. Going far back, he was the Sports Editor of his High School newspaper.
Alan moved to Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife and their two dogs four months after 2005’s Hurricane Katrina destroyed their waterfront home and all their possessions in Biloxi, Mississippi, where they lived for 12 years. In Las Vegas, both continued their work in the casino industry on the Las Vegas Strip, and Alan became a cancer survivor. The couple’s three adult children live in Hawaii, Alabama, and Nevada.
