Garie McIntosh considers himself a storytelling-communicator and a grammar enthusiast. He takes an academic approach to English to gain the technical know-how to develop and write literary fiction and perform different types of editing. This approach involves specializing in linguistic studies and narratology. Garie started out in administration in the fields of healthcare, project management, and database development. Fictional narrative has now been his passion for almost four years. How he likes to put it is that in his world storytelling is analogous to communication. His goal and purpose are to write fictional narrative with strong, authentic characters that are defined by strong writing and themes and reinforce the power of communication through writing and the academic study of English.
