Grant was raised in a military family, attending ten schools in five states as well as three schools in France. He became a writer in part because "it was one of the few jobs that wouldn't tie him down to a specific location. He has lived in almost 50 homes in 14 states."[4] According to the back flap of one of his books: "He lives in California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, and their two children, and far too many pets."[4] He currently lives in Tiburon, California.[5] His top selling book was Gone.

His writing influences include Stephen King, Bill Bryson, Patrick O'Brien, J. R. R. Tolkien, K. A. Applegate, Dan Simmons, and Raymond Chandler[6]
