Award-winning author G.L. Garrett first knew he wanted to be a writer when he was just five-years-old. By the time he entered the second grade, he had his first story published in the local paper. It wouldn’t be until many years later before he returned to writing.
During his hiatus, Garrett not only attended college, he joined the Florida Highway Patrol, and was later offered a position with the FBI. After his career as a Special Agent, spending most of his time investigating counterterrorism threats, Garrett returned to writing. Nowadays, you can find him at his home in Upstate New York crafting stories, keeping bees, boiling maple syrup, and a litany of other hobbies that will hopefully keep him from getting into mischief.

I don’t force myself to write every day for a set amount of hours, pages, etc. I write when I feel like writing, which thankfully works out to be every day. And I don’t write in a particular order. After coming up with a plot, thought, scene, etc., I spend my time writing that portion; regardless of whether it comes in order of the story or not. It just works for me.(less)

My youth has similarities to Harry’s and getting a letter like he received would be amazing. Working two jobs to put myself through college didn’t leave any time to live the college experience that I’ve heard so much about. The friends, the dorms, all of the things I missed out on that Harry got to live. If I had the opportunity, I would spend the rest of my days learning about different subjects until my mind couldn’t take any more!(less)
