Author RG Bud Phelps Chosen As One Of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'

Phelps was chosen as the result of a public voting process.  His work, entitled ‘Back In The Day’, is the second book in his ‘life series’ which started with "Gibbon's Secrets," and covers the ten year period from 1945 to 1955

RG Bud Phelps, author of ‘Back In The Day’, has been chosen as one of  ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. The contest was sponsored by The Authors Show. ‘Back In The Day’ is the second installment in Phelps’ ‘life series’. Phelps was also a winner in the 2012 ‘50 Great Authors You Should be Reading’ for his book ‘Gibbon's Secrets - A Boy's Memories of the 40's’.

“I am proud,” Phelps stated, “to be a 2013 winner in '50 Great Authors You Should be Reading'.  'Back in the Day' parallels my memories from high school through my service in the U.S. Navy, and represents the memories and experiences of thousands of Americans who grew up in the same era.”

In the book series, Phelps shares a young man's historical fiction experiences throughout high school, summers in-between, and four years in the Navy. These experiences and relationships begin with growing up in a small town in Nebraska, where a healthy atmosphere was common in the 1950's. He elected to classify the incidents and individual characters in this story as historical fiction to allow the sharing of his recollections of the content and order. The dialogues used throughout the story are the types of conversations recalled by Phelps during the time frame of the story.

Curtis is a small town in the southwestern corner of Nebraska, with a population in the 1,000 range during the period of time of this story. The Nebraska School of Agriculture (NSA) was the only Ag high school in the state of Nebraska, and the high school featured in this story. Phelps secured historical Navy records from the National Personnel Records Center which have made it possible to create a more realistic historical timeline of "Duty Stations" and dates when earned leaves were taken. Actual information about the individual duty stations have been taken from: US Naval Training Center in San Diego CA; US Naval Air Training Center in Jacksonville, FL; US Naval Air Station in Quonset Point, RI; US Naval Air Station in Atlantic City, NJ; VC-4 Squadron at Naval Air Station in Atlantic City, NJ; and the USS Valley Forge, CVS-45 - all which have been included in this historical fiction story.

The book has a 4 star rating on Amazon. One reviewer stated, “Phelps' book is written with honesty and humor that captures beautifully what it was like to live in America, especially the mid-west, during that time, just as his prequel, ‘Gibbon's Secrets’, did of the previous ten years.” Another stated, “On the other hand, for folks like me, it's a way to gain a better understanding of my country's history. The tone is upbeat and fun...not ponderous, as many true-life history stories are.”
