Funny, brilliant and action-packed, ‘The Waters of Iwingee’ is an exciting tale and passionate legacy told by loving father Griffin Keener.

Never truly able to fit in, Kail Davis has the intestinal fortitude of a 400-pound gorilla inside the body of a 96 pound sixth grader. Luckily, he can always count on his precocious sister, Mani, to bail him out of his daily regimen of bullies and beatings. When Kail runs across a stone in his granny’s parlor, he is soon afflicted with a mysterious marking threatening his own mortality. To worsen matters, Shorty, their spunky grandmother is also stricken with a baffling illness. The two siblings race to find a cure for both Kail and Shorty only to uncover a shocking discovery that will shatter everything they know about their grandmother, who they are, and where they come from.

Devoted husband and family-man, Griffin Keener, loved to dream of complex story lines as a child. His artistic gifts and talents allowed him to create original characters and plots that facilitated his dreams of becoming a storyteller. After being diagnosed with Cancer and retiring from the military, Griffin began his career as a professional artist but never lost his zeal for a great story. Previously upon his cancer diagnosis he arrived home downtrodden and beat down. After passing the bedroom of his youngest son as he played with his sister, Griffin was inspired to write a story based on their imaginary exploits. The Waters of Iwingee is an action filled romp that lies comfortably between the genre’s of Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.
