About

Wayne Grant's Bio

I grew up in a tiny cotton town in rural Louisiana where hunting, fishing and farming are a way of life. Between chopping cotton, dove hunting and Little League ball I developed a love of great adventure stories like Call It Courage and Kidnapped.
Like most southern boys, I saw the military as an honorable career, so it was natural for me to attend and graduate from West Point. I just missed Vietnam, but served in Germany and Korea. I found that life as a Captain in an army broken by Vietnam was not what I wanted and returned to Louisiana and civilian life. I later served for four years as a senior official in the Pentagon and had the honor of playing a small part in the rebuilding of a great U.S. Army.
Through it all, I kept my love for great adventure stories. When I had two sons, I began making up stories for them about a boy and his longbow. Those stories grew to become my first novel, Longbow. From there I spun the story of Roland Inness over six more books.
Having completed the story I set out to tell in The Saga of Roland Inness, I turned to a new story that had been floating around in my head for years, a story of the early settlement of America, which begins with No King, No Country and continues with The Long Rifles.
