What Seems True

After years practicing law, James Garrison changed course to writing when he was paid to go away in a corporate merger. His first novel, QL 4, based on his time as a military policeman in the Mekong Delta, has won awards for literary and military fiction, and his novel, The Safecracker (a legal thriller), was a finalist in the 2020 Eric Hoffer Book Awards. His creative nonfiction and fiction works and poems have appeared in literary magazines and anthologies. Landing in Houston, Texas as a young corporate attorney for Texaco Inc., he set out on a long study of Texas lore and landscapes, traveling with his family to see as much of his adopted state as possible. But most of his sojourns in his early Texas years ended up at the refineries and chemical plants in the Golden Triangle, the setting for What Seems True. Webpage: https: //jamesgarrison-author.com/
