Gary has crafted two distinct realms within his novels.
"Daydreamers" transports readers to Acia Maj, a metaverse island where historical events unfold alongside a plethora of additional narratives. This setting serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of hope and love.
In contrast, "The Fixer" is situated in Jamaica, characterised by its verdant landscapes, radiant sunshine, and a populace rich in resilience and creativity.
I was born in England to Jamaican parents. We moved to Jamaica when I was 9 years old because my school told my parents I had no academic future. I am so thankful to my parents for making that decision and my teachers in Jamaica who nurtured and taught me through the years, rescuing me.
I met my wife while attending the University of the West Indies, and we have been happily married for almost 40 years. We have 2 beautiful, independent-minded daughters.
I worked in the IT industry for 39 years until I decided to follow a dream.
My wife asked me a similar question. She asked me - where is this coming from? She knows that all the subjects I enjoyed at university were those that involved the least writing possible. When I had to do subjects like ‘History of the Caribbean’ and ‘Use of English’, where verbosity was rewarded, I struggled. So I called my mother in Jamaica to ask her. She told me that whenever my parents left me with my grandfather I would regale him with stories. When my parents arrived to pick me up, my grandfather would ask them about these stories because he couldn’t tell what was real and what was not. That suggests to me that this has been in my nature from I was young, I'm talking about younger than 5 years old, but for some reason I suppressed it for most of my life.
One of the triggers to making this career change was falling very ill with covid in 2020, and upon recovery I decided to wanted to do something that made a difference and left a mark.
