Everyone knows that today’s society is litigious. Anyone can sue, for any real or imagined slight. The lawsuits listed below are actual examples of frivolous suits wasting the court’s time. Continue reading
Ever wonder why McDonalds warns you that their hot coffee is hot? Why every Bic lighter has a label with print so tiny no one can read it? Why Townhouse reduced fat crackers aren’t packaged as a low fat product? Why American Idol finally allowed online voting? Continue reading
One of the nicer aspects of writing is that I’m my own boss. Since I’ve self-published, I don’t even have an agent or an editor or a publisher yapping in my ear. Continue reading
I know. I got it wrong. The saying’s supposed to read “patience is a virtue.” Once upon a time, that may have been true, but I’m not so sure any more.
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.

Who is Jerilyn Haligar?
Jerilyn is a professor of history. He used to teach at the University of Colcester, where he chaired the department before retiring to the Mountain of Clouds. Did I mention that Jerilyn is a fictional character? Continue reading
I began writing fiction in 2002. For five years, I wrote most nights and nearly every weekend, completed two novels and started a third. I slowed down after that, the day job was taking too much of my time, until my boss’s irrational need to quickly reduce the size of his leadership team provided a way out with a soft landing.

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
Thanx for visiting ChrisGarsonWrites! This site is for people who enjoy reading fiction. I write full length novels, short stories, flash fiction (really short stories) and non-fiction. My newest novel is Perk Noir, a piece of contemporary fiction about jazz, coffee, football and ninja girls. It’s got something for everyone – humor, mystery and romance. Give it a try, I guarantee it will surprise you.
I also write an epic fantasy series titled The Tales of Ages which is set in the world of Sangrar. The Tales are narrated by a character named Jerilyn Haligar. The World of Sangrar includes dozens of free short stories disguised as encyclopedia entries about the setting. Jerilyn’s Posts contains Jerilyn’s musings on a variety of topics. It’s the only Sangrarian blogroll in existence.
Two novels from The Tale of Ages (Volumes 1 & 2 of the Scales over Sangrithar trilogy) are currently available: The Curse of Arvyl’s Folly and Madness Ascendant.
