edit data

Will Granger was born near Pittsburgh, PA and grew up in New Jersey and Geneva, Switzerland. He spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, where he was able to travel around the world. Scenes from his travels appear throughout his books. He also attended James Madison University and earned his MA in Language Arts Education from the University of Central Florida.

Will’s Anabar's Run is the first book in his two-part coming-of-age Anabar saga, and the second book is Anabar Rises.
Anabar is a young man who dreams of leaving his isolated valley home and trains to join the Scouts, a band of ruthless, elite warriors. He ultimately decides to resist an unjust war and risks everything to try to bring peace to the land.

Will’s Quotes

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

“The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
