Biography | Born and raised in Montreal, Stephen H Garrityês passion has always been story telling. Having studied film production at Concordia University, the approach Steve takes to his writing is that every story must make a good film as well as a novel. In essence, every story he writes is adapted from a mental screenplay. A diverse writer, Steveês stories range from romanŒtic thrillers, action adventures, to science fiction. Steve, an avid space, history, and military history enthusiast, applies a respectful scientific and historical basis as an integral foundation to his story telling. Even the phases of the moon are accurate for the date he describes.
In addition to his career in freight logistics, Steve assisted his wife Colette with her video production company, while becoming actively involved with Quebec politics during the height of the 1995 Quebec soverŒeignty referendum. Retiring from politics and turning back to writing after nearly a decade-long hiatus, Steve dusted off his time travel epic, and despite the efforts of an editor and agent, The Wizard Blew his Horn could not find a pubŒlisher.
In 2004, Steve, his wife Colette and their children, Carina and Matt, moved from Montreal to Kelowna, BC, for a lifestyle change. One of Steveês two new novels, the romantic thriller Sweet Obsession, won the 2007 Grand Prize of the Mount Arrowsmith Novel Writing Contest, beating over a hundred contestants; many of them published authors from North America, England and Australia.
In 2008, Steve decided that the time travel epic required a complete makeover and re-imagined it as The Grandfather Paradox, spanning five novels, with a lot more dynamics, plot twists and action. Three are complete and the fourth is approaching completion, with a planned release in 2018 for the fifth and final book. He will release Sweet Obsession in 2017.
Steve currently resides in Edmonton, Alberta, with his wife Colette.
