His top selling book was Gone. His writing influences include Stephen King, Bill Bryson, Patrick O'Brien, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dan Simmons, and Raymond Chandler[5][unreliable source] Early lifeGrant was raised in a military family, attending ten schools in five states as well as three schools in France. He became a writer in part because "it was one of the few jobs that wouldn't tie him down to a specific location. He has lived in almost 50 homes in 14 states."[6] Grant has described growing up poor, in trailer parks, and dropping out of school at age 15. He then got a job at Toys R Us, with a fake ID he obtained by signing up for the draft (during the Vietnam War). After three months, he quit and traveled to Europe for three months.[7] Personal lifeGrant lives in California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, and their two children, and their many pets.[6] He currently resides in Tiburón, California.[8] BibliographyAnimorphs series
