About Me

Nice To Meet You!

Hello! My name is Garner Presser, I’m the person whose website you’re visiting.  I was born and raised in Las Vegas, city a lot of folks talk shit about but that I love deeply.  I root for the Chicago Cubs and enjoy superhero comics, movies about time travel, and rock songs with killer horn sections.  I’m married to the most thoughtful and creative person I’ve ever met, Diane (that’s why I married her!) and we have a furball named Cooper, who is likely downstairs causing some sort of trouble as I write this.

But most importantly (for our purposes here at least) I like reading.  And writing.  I do both an awful lot.  I think of myself as a speculative writer, intermixing elements of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and crime in my stories.  I’m drawn to uncanny tales where everyday people face desperate decisions and impossible odds.  I’ve completed two novels that are currently trunked but that I hope to find use for someday, even if just for spare parts.  I’m currently working on some short stories and a third novel, the latter of which is a sort of Reservoir Dogs meets Les Misérables, set on an agriculture planet with a collapsing ecosystem.  At least that’s what I think it’s going to be.  I’m still writing it, and sometimes these things change…

So that’s me.  Basically.  I’d love to send you out of here with some call to action, but I don’t have anything to sell you.  Yet.  When I do, this will get deleted and replaced with a pithy plea for your hard earned capital. But until then, please read one of the short stories on the next tab over, then go get some fresh air and maybe hug someone you love. 

Thanks for visiting!

And check this quote out before you leave.  I’ve always found it meaningful and inspiring.

“He not busy being born is busy dying.”

— Bob Dylan

And these are some amazing books that I admire
