Featuring Grace M.M. Strahan
Grace M. M. Strahan is a nerd outgrowing Neverland. Whether it’s writing speculative fiction or working on her many other passions, Grace endeavors to create adventurous stories for whimsical nerds who live with one foot in fantasyland while also being responsible adults. Grace writes sci-fi & high fantasy for adults & teens, paints mythical creatures, sews her own fantastical wardrobe, and speaks to hundreds of people in a hairnet on a weekly basis. She lives with her nerdy husband and daughter in the cold northern USA where there is an appalling lack of superheroes, pirate ships, and dragons.

Theo: Klutz of Griffins by Grace M. M. Strahan
Griffins are supposed to be graceful and poised. Theo, the clumsiest griffin alive, desperately wants to keep his dream job as a bookkeeper in the Grand Library. Forced to man the night-shift alone, his night gets worse when he discovers the notorious thief known as the Bookwyrm has broken in, planning to steal the map to a rare weather-controlling artifact. Can he stop the thief, or will his clumsiness cost him the job he loves?
