Meet Griffin Blake

Hi. I’m Griffin. Blake. Griffin Blake.

I’m not good at this kind of thing. Sharing. I usually like to keep my secrets locked up tight. But when the boss lady asks you to do something…. Well, I kind of like the direction my life is heading. I don’t want to make TLC mad and get written out of a future story. Or worse.

Maybe you read something about me in Oh. My. Gods. or Goddess Boot Camp or one of those sappy little short stories. Maybe you think you know something—maybe even a lot of things—about me. You don’t.

Here are 5 things you probably never guessed about me:

1. My fastest 5k time without using my powers is 20:07.
2. My fastest 5k time with my powers is 11:54.
3. The longest race I’ve ever run is a 100k ultramarathon.
4. I’ve run races on three continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa).
5. My dream is to complete the World Marathon Challenge.

(Running-related facts don’t count, try again! —TLC)

1. I’m allergic to cats.
2. I like to read epic fantasy books.
3. My favorite color is blue.
4. I will consume any food that contains hazelnuts.
5. When I was little I thought Zeus was Santa Claus.

I hope that’s good enough.

You’ll find out more about me in Never Say Hero. And hopefully I’ll get to keep running in the right direction.

—Griff
