The Garratyverse

On the Gentle Art of Being Seen: Reflections from the Garratyverse

Sometimes the most powerful storytelling happens in the spaces between—between memory and longing, silence and revelation, thunder and comfort.
That’s where Jim Garraty lives.
That’s where these stories found their readers.

Here’s what they’ve seen in him—and in the stories he carries.


Reunion: A Story is the first volume of a two-book cycle.
The Kindle edition.

For those just arriving: these stories aren’t about what was lost.
They’re about what we carry forward—the echoes, the mixtapes, the small kindnesses that made us feel real.

If you’ve read one, or all three—thank you for seeing Jim.
And if you’re just discovering him… welcome. The light is gentle here. The silence knows your name.
