My Third
Self
A fantasy novel by Anderson Gibbons, where three fractured aspects of one being cross the places of time to save the family that outlasts them.
A father split across time, searching for what must survive.
Somewhere beyond ordinary time, an ancient consciousness carries the weight of every choice, every loss, and every version of himself. My Third Self by Anderson Gibbons follows Oryious, a being whose past, present, and potential future are bound together by memory, power, and the family he refuses to lose.
Across the Spatial, Echo, Quantum, and other hidden planes, this epic fantasy book enters a realm built on Time, Light, Death, Body, Life, Knowledge, and Wisdom. Its layered mythology brings elements of speculative fiction and cosmic imagination into a deeply personal story about the fear of failing those we love, the cost of secrets, and the hope that even broken things can still protect what matters.
Equal parts cosmic fantasy and emotional meditation, My Third Self is for readers who want a story with scale, soul, meaning, and a fantasy world that asks them to look beyond what they think they know.
Three selves. One reach
forward.
First
The Burden
The self shaped by old mistakes, grief, and the memories that refuse to fade. It carries what was lost, what was done, and what cannot be undone.
Second
The Moment
The self standing inside the present, aware of every choice as it unfolds. This is where love, fear, power, and consequence meet.
Third
The Becoming
The self not yet reached, but already waiting. It holds every possibility, every future, and the one truth Time cannot afford to lose.

Anderson Gibbons
Author Anderson Gibbons writes with the depth of someone who understands grief, endurance, and the quiet work of becoming whole again. After the death of his brother, writing became a way to move through loss. Later, after retiring from the military, it became part of how he faced life with PTSD.
As the author of My Third Self, Gibbons carries that emotional weight into a world of myth, memory, cosmic power, and speculative possibility. His fiction brings an intimate human perspective to epic fantasy, creating stories shaped by reflection, survival, family, and the belief that what we leave behind can still matter.

Why My Third Self Is Built for Readers Who Like Their Fantasy Big, Strange, and Personal
Some fantasy books invite you into a kingdom. My Third Self invites you into a system of existence. That difference matters.
Anderson Gibbons’ My Third Self is not built around a simple map, a single throne, or a familiar battle between good and evil.

The Most Interesting Fantasy Worlds Are the Ones With Rules That Hurt
A great fantasy world does not begin with magic. It begins with limits. What can power do? What can it not do? Who pays the cost? Who lives with the consequences when someone reaches too far?
That is one reason My Third Self by Anderson Gibbons feels so distinct.
