A life of service doesn’t end with the uniform.
Sometimes, that’s where the real story begins.

RB Group Public Relations proudly supported a successful author book signing event for Greg Duncan at Barnes & Noble Del Amo, marking an important milestone in the continued rollout of his memoir, Always Ready: A Life of Firsts, Service, and Second Acts. Held at the Del Amo Fashion Center location, the event brought together readers, community members, and leadership-minded professionals for an afternoon of conversation, connection, and signed copies of the book. Attendees had the opportunity to meet Duncan in person, hear more about the inspiration behind Always Ready, and engage in meaningful discussions centered on leadership, service, and navigating life’s “second acts.”

Throughout the event, Duncan connected one-on-one with readers, signing books and sharing reflections on readiness—not just as a professional principle, but as a mindset for personal growth and transition. The Barnes & Noble setting provided an ideal, community-centered environment that encouraged dialogue and discovery.

Gregory A. Duncan Releases Powerful Memoir: 'Always Ready, Life of Firsts, Service and Second Acts' - A Journey Through Service, Struggle, and Second Acts

Recently retired from the United States Coast Guard after 34 years, Gregory A. Duncan recently set sail on a new endeavor in releasing his inspiring new memoir, 'Always Ready: A Life of Firsts, Service and Second Acts,' a compelling exploration of duty, resilience, and personal transformation.

From humble beginnings raised by a single mother to groundbreaking achievements in military service, business and professional life, Duncan shares pivotal stories from his time in the U.S. Coast Guard, his journey through grief and growth, and his calling to serve others through writing, music, creative collaboration, conversation, and mental health advocacy.

“My goal is to inspire people that come from both similar and different backgrounds, to understand it’s okay to take the road less traveled in order to chase your dreams,” said Duncan, a first time author.

'Always Ready' is more than a memoir—it's a roadmap for second acts, the power of showing up for others, and pushing through while embracing the storms we all face in life.

The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, Empire Books, Apple, Walmart, and book website:

Empire Bookstore: http://empirepublishingslibrarium.com/books/always-ready-a-life-of-firsts-service-and-second-acts/
