Author Garrett Hutson Talks Historical Fiction and His New Novel ‘Gray Paree’
Join me today as I chat with fellow Hoosier and author Garrett Hutson. Garrett joins the podcast from his home near Indianapolis where he lives with his veterinarian husband David and a menagerie of pets. We talk about a passion for writing he’s had since childhood, fiction choices, and his love for historical detail that infuses his novels. His newest, Gray Paree, releases October 25.
American Oliver Carmichael loves his life in Paris, playing in a night club jazz band, and enjoying the freedom and intellectual stimulation of his bohemian set of friends. His happiness is tempered by unresolved feelings for his ex-fiancée, Lisette, especially after he sees her with another man in his club-but he tends those wounds with an affair with an older woman…and also with the boy next door.
His life is further disrupted when the Germans march into Paris, and several of his friends join the resistance. When an Information Officer from the American Embassy, Frank Dryden, asks Oliver to keep tabs on his friends’ resistance activities, Oliver is torn. What is the best way to help his friends? What is the right thing to do? Once in, there is no way out.
Garrett Hutson writes upmarket historical mysteries and spy fiction, driven by flawed characters who are moving and unforgettable. He writes about ordinary people in different times and places who struggle with faith, family dysfunction, and all of the moral gray areas of life. He writes realistic fiction, so his work is always diverse and LGBT-inclusive.
