About the Author

Hi, I’m Grant.

Thanks for reading.

My name is Grant Fodness and I am an aspiring literary fiction writer from Castlewood, South Dakota. I attended the University of Jamestown in North Dakota, where I majored in English and Psychology, and then I completed the School Psychology graduate program at Minnesota State University-Moorhead. I currently live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with my wife Abbie and work as a school psychologist in southwestern Minnesota.

I loved reading and writing when I was growing up, and I started writing stories in 1st grade. I’ve continued this love and found that the stories I am most influenced by are those that you can see yourself in and that help you view some aspect of the world a little differently. I want to write stories like that—stories that are clear and honest and offer a different outlook on a problem, situation, or idea.

My favorite authors include Stephen King, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Harper Lee, and Ernest Hemingway and many, many more.
