Dustin Grinnell

Dustin Grinnell is a writer based in Boston. Journalism and creative nonfiction, short stories and novels, poetry and scripts—all these and more have earned him publication with a wide range of presses, magazines, and literary journals.

David Litwack

The urge to write first struck at age sixteen when working on a newsletter at a youth encampment in the woods of northern Maine. It may have been the wild night when lightning flashed at sunset followed by the northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter’s editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.

Using two fingers and lots of white-out, he religiously typed five pages a day throughout college and well into his twenties. Then life intervened. He paused to raise two sons and pursue a career, in the process — and without prior plan — becoming a well-known entrepreneur in the software industry, founding several successful companie

📌 Philos Fablewright: Author of Thought-Provoking Fiction & Philosophical Novels

Thank you for getting this far. I’m grateful to have sparked your curiosity.

I write thought-provoking fiction that blends philosophy, history, science, and self-discovery—because, let’s be honest, none of us have all the answers. Life is unpredictable, messy, and doesn’t come with a manual. But that’s what makes it interesting.

In Curious, Edward loses everything—his career, his marriage, his sense of self—and is forced to start over. Along the way, he stumbles through humor, heartbreak, and unexpected wisdom, discovering more about life than he ever imagined.

This is a heartfelt tale drawn from real life. A novel that will touch your heart, make you laugh, and le
