At age 24, he joined The Miami Herald, a paper that shaped many best-selling authors. Grant returned to the Sunflower State to edit weekly papers, earning numerous Kansas Press Association Awards, and two Golden Wheat Awards from the Kansas Farm Bureau.

The audiobook was performed by Audie Award-winner Tavia Gilbert. Maggie recently was named one of the best track and field novels of all time by Citius Mag.
The story was reissued in May 2021 by Grain Valley Publishing as a new title, with a new foreword by Olympic Champion Katerina Stefanidi, and chapter questions for mid-grade students written by Mental Performance Consultant, English teacher and coach, Dr. Melissa White.
