S J Garrett

S J Garrett is an amateur poet and novelist from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He is an early retired electrician from the former Stelco Inc., husband and father of three adult children and currently cohabitating with a Siamese cat and a Korgi-Husky mixed canine in an old brick house in the Hammer. Like some, his life immediately started out different from most others when he was adopted into a family of eight brothers and sisters who all lived in another old brick home, but it all worked out because as an unlikely a hero that he was in his own life-story he still managed to make some good choices in life - just ask his wife.

Welcome To The Comforting Chair

Where Verse and Prose Connect

Welcome to my web page, and as I've said many times in the past: the intention of this web page is for it to be a simple venue or forum to display my creative writing endeavours.

It occurred to me some time ago that a blanket title so to speak would be a nice touch for my four science fiction novels and over those years nothing that came to mind appealed to me, however two thoughts have come to the forefront. The first was to call the group: 'The Mark's Grenade Series" which 'Mark's Grenade' was the title of an elongated short story that spawned the series and penned back in 1985 when I was a young buck of twenty-eight years in age. The second and more recent thought was to name the group: 'The Brothers By Numbers Series' and I think I favor the later more than the former so from here on I shall refer to the group as The Brothers By Numbers Series.

A year or so ago I also thought I'd take a break from writing after completing my quartet or tetralogy of speculative science fiction novels now called The Brothers By Numbers Series, but no, - that didn't last very long. Within a few months another new idea occurred to me and it would just not go away. It's of course speculative science fiction again but it has nothing to do with the previous completed Brothers by Numbers Series. I never comment too much about a new unfinished project as a rule and that will be the case here, too. However, I am both a little surprised and quite happy to have something to occupy my hungry imagination with for the coming months.

Some of you might have noticed that my novels are no longer available for download at Smashwords and that's because I saw fit to not migrate to the new owners of Smashwords: Draft 2 Digital, and for my own reasons. Should you want to download a S J Garrett novel the Obooko website is now the place to go. Obooko is a great free site and I've also had a great relationship with them over the years.

So once again, cheers to all who think they are creative, to the right-brained people, and to the intuitive types - who incidentally are all potential poets of great substance.

Thank you all for your patronage.
