Alan Garrity

Alan Garrity is an author, musician, and life-navigator who has spent his life collecting stories-in recording studios, on open seas, in theatre wings, and in late-night conversations with strangers who somehow felt like old friends. His creative ourney stretches from gold record awards to more than a hundred books for young readers aged 4 to 16, helping children and teens find courage, imagination, and hope on the page.​

For twelve years, Alan served as a Cruise Director, living at the crossroads of thousands of human stories. Away from their usual routines, people spoke with a rare honesty about love, loss, second chances, and the confusing business of being human. Those encounters, combined with his work in music and children's fiction, gave him a deep, lived understanding of how fragile and resilient people can be at the same time.​

Today, his books invite children and teens to be brave, be curious, and never underestimate the power of a good friendship.
