Ken Grimwood is an American author of horror, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and thrillers author best known for his novel Replay. The book was a best-seller in Japan at some point. Grimwood worked in broadcast journalism for a while before he decided to write full-time in 1988. So far, the author has six distinct works to his name. Before his death in 2003, Grimwood was working on Replay’s sequel. Other outstanding books by Grimwood include Breakthrough and Elise. 

Grimwood was born in Dothan, Alabama. His family moved to Pensacola, Florida, where he grew up. In his early years, Grimwood took an interest in EC Comics and radio journalism. He attended and graduated in 1961 from Indian Springs School, a private school near Birmingham, Alabama.[citation needed] That summer, he went to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. He attended Emory College in Atlanta from 1961 to 1963.

In the mid-1960s, Grimwood worked in news at WLAK in Lakeland, Florida. Heading north, he returned to college, studying psychology at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. He also contributed short fiction to Bard's student publication, Observer, in 1969 and graduated in 1970. Grimwood moved to Los Angeles, California. He wrote some of his early novels while working as a nightside editor at KFWB News 980 radio in the city. The success of Replay (1987) enabled him to leave that job and pursue writing full-time.
