Introducing Grant Overstake, an accomplished author whose writing has resonated with readers of all ages. As a gifted storyteller, he has received recognition and acclaim for his work, drawing from his background as a former Miami Herald sportswriter and decathlon All-America. His sports-themed YA novels are infused with raw emotion and authenticity, offering inspiration to anyone who appreciates well-told stories of resilience, hope, and courage. His premier novel, "Maggie Vaults Over the Moon" has been hailed as “a fine YA novel about perseverance in sports and in life” by KIRKUS REVIEWS and named one of the top track and field novels of all time by CITIUS MAG. The story follows a heroic teen’s quest to overcome hardship and grief on the family farm. It’s a must-read for anyone who loves stories of triumph over adversity. The novel has been republished as a classroom reader, featuring a foreword by Olympic champion Katerina Stefanidi and chapter questions by Dr. Melissa White, making it an ideal choice for educators looking to inspire their students. His second novel, "The Real Education of TJ Crowley" takes an unfiltered view of race relations in the tumultuous civil rights era. The book has been named Book of the Year by the Kansas Authors’ Club and selected as a National Book of the Month by Bookclubs.com. The story explores the costs of choosing friendship over hate and knowledge over fear, as it follows the rocky journey of a young teenager’s racial awakening in a volatile time of justice, hope, and change in American history. For listening lovers, both of Grant’s novels have become great audio books. "Maggie Vaults Over the Moon" was performed brilliantly by Tavia Gilbert, Audie Award Female Narrator of the Year. "The Real Education of TJ Crowley" was adapted for audio by the author and acclaimed producer/director May Wuthrich. The radio theater style production stars Dani Martineck, Tavia Gilbert, Dion Graham, and a cast of fine supporting actors in an unforgettable listening experience.
