Author Gene K. Garrison To Be Featured In 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading

Author Gene K. Garrison was recently chosen to be featured in '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'. The book is produced by The Authors Show. She was chosen as the result of her release entitled 'From Thunder To Breakfast'

"I am very pleased," stated Ms. Garrison "to have been chosen as one of the "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading. It's a privilege."

Gene is originally from Delaware. After moving from Phoenix to Cave Creek, Arizona to work on the New Dick Van Dyke Show, she founded Desert Artists, Inc., a cooperative gallery, in the Carefree/Cave Creek area During this time she started a writing career by freelancing an article to Arizona Magazine, a Sunday supplement to The Arizona Republic. After reading several of her stories, the editor of Carefree Enterprise Magazine offered her a job as feature articles writer where she worked for 20 years.

Ms. Garrison then relocated to Sedona AZ. In a scenic town where there are approximately 50 art galleries, artists tend to give art lessons. She found the experimental, abstract, expressionistic art that she relates to and took intensive five-day workshops at th Sedona Arts Center. Her latest educational involvement was a Yavapai College Arts and Technology course titled Digital Storytelling, which involves the melding of photography, writing, narration and music. In Sedona she joined the The International Society of Experimental Artists, the Sedona Camera Club, The Sedona Writers Salon, Q-2 Artists, and the Professional Writers of Prescott.

Two of her books were published by traditional publishers, "From Thunder to Breakfast" and "Widowhood Happens." After they reached out-of-print status, she discovered print-on-demand, and got them back into circulation through Xlibris.com. The next writing project happened because she had photographed javelinas in Cave Creek, so she wrote text to go with the photos — and had a children’s nonfiction book about wildlife on the desert entitled 'Javelina - Have-uh-WHAT?' . Her latest endeavor is a book published by Lulu.com, titled "There’s Something About CAVE CREEK (It’s The People)." She had written more than 550 magazine articles on a variety of subjects, but the people she wrote about in the 1970s and 80s remained clumped together in her mind. She knew she was writing recent history at the time, and in 2006 it all came together. 'From Thunder To Breakfast' is a book about lifestyles, a gentle Western — intimate conversations with cowboys, prospectors, strong women, pioneers, and just people doing what they had to do to get along. It’s a peek into the kinds of lives that we might have been living if we had arrived 75 years earlier.
