Wayne Grant
author : Wayne GrantWayne Grant grew up in a tiny cotton town in rural Louisiana where hunting, fishing and farming were a way of life. Between chopping cotton, dove hunting and Little League ball he developed a love of great adventure stories like Call It Courage and Kidnapped.\n\nLike most southern boys of that era he saw the military as an honorable and adventurous career. Every living male member of his family had served in the Army covering World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam,so it was a natural step for him to attend and graduate from West Point. He just missed Vietnam, but found that life as a Captain in an army broken by that war was not what he wanted.\n\nAfter tours in Germany and Korea, he returned to Louisiana and civilian life where he began a 10 year career in government including four years as a senior official in the Pentagon during the Reagan administration. During those years he saw the Army reborn from its post-Vietnam nadir to the outstanding force it became and remains today.\n\nThrough it all he retained his love of great adventure writing and when he had two sons he began telling them stories before bedtime. Those stories became his first novel, Longbow, the story of a boy, his longbow, a poached deer and the wrath of a Norman lord. The second in the series, Warbow, takes Roland and his companions to the Third Crusade with Richard the Lionheart and is followed by The Broken Realm and The Ransomed Crown, the story of Prince John's attempt to steal the crown from King Richard. The fifth book in The Saga of Roland Inness, A Prince of Wales, takes Roland and the Invalid Company into Wales to aid the rise of Llywelyn the Great. The sixth and most current book is Declan O'Duinne, which takes Roland and his closest friend Declan to Ireland. The seventh and final book in the series will be released in late summer, 2019. \n\nIf you would like to know more about the author and his books, visit his webpage at www.waynegrantbooks.com.
