Christopher Grant is a Brooklyn Native born to Jamaican and Barbadian parents. I have had the pleasure of knowing Chris for several years through mutual friends. He has always been very passionate about his writing. His hard work has definitely paid off, as he awaits the release of his debut novel, Teenie. Teenie is set to be released on Knopf/Random House on December 28th. The anticipated novel chronicles a teenage girl, and her day to day struggles to find her identity amidst her friends, and her West Indian family in Brooklyn. The book is getting rave reviews, and will be available on all major outlets including Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble amongst others. WYRAS would like to congratulate Chris, and wish him continued success in his endeavours!
Another Technite doing big things!
