A BIT ABOUT GARRITY
Garrity Beales is a freelance creative writer, novelist and artist who relishes exploring the facets of human nature in all its complex glory through transformative works in fanfiction, provoking free-verse poetry, original bodies of fiction and through the stroke of her paintbrush.
A Professional Interior Designer/ Project Coordinator specializing in Retail, Restaurant, and Commercial design for almost 15 years, Garrity shifted her focus to the field of Electrical Engineering, alongside volunteering in various capacities at her local Children's Hospital. Behavioral management of how humans operate and function within a space was always her passion, and thus she shifted once more into the realm of Security design, focusing on electronic security systems and threat/risk assessments for clients of all varieties.
Storytelling, through use of words and visual media, has been a driving force of interest for her since she was young; a prominent thread that’s continually woven itself throughout her professional and personal lives and is an outlet she strives to continually grow and refine.
PROFESSIONAL WRITING:
Garrity has a varied portfolio of professional work produced as a freelance writer, ranging from product case studies to persuasive blogs to B2B and B2C content.
​
LITERARY WORKS:
She currently has fourteen stories published in the Harry Potter Fandom online, both in novel length format and short stories. Through the freedom of the online platforms and the power of transformative fiction, Garrity's works explore topics such as PTSD, mental health, societal expectations, accessibility, ethics, and sexuality, along with other impactful topics and experiences.
She is currently working on her debut novel, 'Entwined through Ink.'
PAINTINGS AND ARTWORK:
Acrylic and watercolor are her mediums of choice, however, ink and other means of artistic expression also call to her. A commissioned artist, she has also donated her work for fundraising prizes. Her current focuses are in watercolor and digital illustration, while honing her hand lettering typography and branding skills.
Entwined through Ink
Heartbroken and adrift, Abagail uncovers an aged, leather-bound diary, its cover carved with a unique symbol. The moment she opens it to read; she's pulled into the past. Through each entry, she becomes her ancestor, a young woman caught between forbidden love, betrayal, and a secret that has haunted her bloodline for generations.
​
At first, these jumps in time feel like dreams; fascinating and disorienting. Their tangible realism impossible to explain. But what happens in the past begins to bleed into Abagail's present. Her marriage is crumbling, the diary's hold over her grows stronger with every turn of the page, and those she loves are put at risk.
​
With the enchantment tightening its hold, Abagail must untangle the mystery of her family's misfortune before her own time runs out.
​
Breaking free will demand the hardest choice she's ever faced, one that could cost her the future she's desperate to save.
