Bio
C.S. McGrail
Charlie is the founder and first author at Fintan and Turtle.
He likes to present himself a pretentious curmudgeon. Why else would you call yourself C.S.?
But it's a ruse. Like all writers of fiction, he's enjoys the challenge of persuading you. Don't be fooled.
However, that postured exterior always melts away in the company of toddlers or puppies.
He keeps his social circle small.
And exaggerates that he lives a 'cloistered existence'.
That's what he would call 'tossing sand';
humor through misdirection or confusion.
He values humor. The drier the better.
He enjoys, dad-jokes, bad puns, and any cornball play-on words.
Particularly with names of people or places.
He spends his working hours in the imaginary town of Sycamore, forging Ink Babies.
Then, as they come to life, he records what they do.
Some of these tales even make it to market.
When not writing, he can be found, with his wife, sitting at the kitchen window. Watching the deer. And the ducks. And occasional turkeys.
Their backyard could easily be mistaken for
a Mother Nature run petting zoo.
With bourbon.
