About George Chesbro

However, he had always had a desire to become a fiction author and he soon quit, even if he had no concrete plans on how to achieve his dreams. He would then work as a night security guard and also went back to teaching very dangerous and severely disturbed children to make ends meet. Much of George C. Chesbro’s novels are set in the “Mongo verse” which he explains in detail in the novel “In the House of Secret Enemies” that he published in 1971. George believed the character was unpublishable, bizarre, unworkable, and absurd and hence a waste of time to try to make him into a lead character for an entire series of novels. Touched by the revelation, he started over and this time gave his character as much dignity as he could. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Chant Books series, George Chesbro has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
