Self-Publishing Author Spotlight: Gary Turcotte

Gary Turcotte enjoys writing novels with a touch of humor in an otherwise serious situation.  Turcotte grew up in Dover, New Hampshire, and has earned his living as a General Contractor. 

I was inspired as a sophomore in High School by my English teacher, Mrs. Caroline O’Limire. She would assign the class a task of writing either short stories or poems. I had an active imagination. I thought everyone had the same. She would read my stories to not just my class, but to all the classes. When I graduated I remember that she wished me well and said she couldn’t wait to read my books when I would get published. I shrugged her compliments off thinking that possibly she says the same to nearly each student. Since then I carried my books in my mind, never getting them on paper. I was busy with a family and a construction business. Finally my daughter got her license and I had some free time to write five manuscripts over the past seven years. 

To date he has published eight books with Outskirts Press, including those featured below.
