Fantasy; Adult & contemporary romance

Grimwell is a hilarious adventure through a Tolkien-esque tale about the powerful ways books reflect and shape our lives. Derek Winnebaker is a down-on-his-luck barista who loves nothing more than a good book and a strong cup of coffee. Unfortunately for him-

but fortunately for this novel-

his next read takes him on an unexpected journey.

Inexplicably drawn to a novel about a fantasy creature called a grimkin, known for their luxurious tails and excellent sense of smell, Derek begins using the book to shake up his life, marching from plot point to plot point with the surefootedness of a bona fide protagonist: asking out his crush, standing up to his boss, even leveling a giant-

or at least an extremely tall guy-

in a bar. But then Tolkien turns to Kafka and his grimkin fantasy takes a sinister detour. Will Derek end up turning the pages of his story or will he be doomed to live at the whims of an outside narrator? Part comedy, part love story, part twisted fairy tale, Grimwell will make you think twice about opening your next book.

His debut novel, The History of Jane Doe, was a finalist for the Connecticut Book Award and received a Kirkus starred review.

He lives in Connecticut with his wife, sons, and two wonderfully aloof cats.

Reviews for Grimwell

""A word of caution: be prepared to laugh until you cry, to gasp with surprise, and most of all to lose yourself in the strange, wonderful world of Grimwell. You may never want to come back!""--Chris Belden, author of Shriver ""Michael Belanger's Grimwell is a surprising book that will take you on an unexpected fantastical journey that plays with genre and the reader's assumptions about everyday people..."" -- Grisel Yolanda Acosta, author of Things to Pack on the Way to Everywhere
