Although I share the same last name as the author of the bestselling novel Beast, we are in no way related. That is perhaps one of the questions I am asked most often, probably provoked by the fact I carry the book around with me to read in my spare time.
The other question I am often asked also concerns my name, Grim L. Wright. I do not know what compelled my mother to name me Grim; and I shall never ask her. However, Grim is the name I have been given, and I do not question it. Perhaps it was because of the name, but I have always maintained a grim composure.
