Being a Cleveland sports fan isn’t exactly easy, not after forty nine years and counting since our beloved Browns brought home the city’s last championship trophy.  Like most of you, I’m tired of losing seasons, changing regimes (remember when regime change meant a coup in some third world country?), new front office staff, revolving coaches, philosophies and players.

A long time in the making, chrisgarsonwrites.com is finally here!

Some of you have been hearing me talk about “that novel” for the past decade.  The truth is, I’ve written four.  The first two, I’m not too pleased with so you won’t find them here until I’ve rewritten them.  The two most recently completed ones, The Curse of Arvyl’s Folly and Madness Ascendant, are available now to sample and purchase.

You’ll find plenty of other content here.  The World of Sangrar section contains an online encyclopedia for my fantasy setting.  Shorter Work includes my short stories, memoirs and management essays. My random thoughts are in the “From Chris” blog.

Enjoy and share!  chris
