edit data

Moving around a lot growing up led to a semi-nomadic lifestyle as an adult. I left Massachusetts for Atlanta and Atlanta for Los Angeles, where I currently reside.

I write novels and screenplays of the scifi/action/adventure/urban fantasy genres, adore tv and movies, and am a fangirl at heart.

Helloooo 2020!

[image error]

So… 2019 wasn’t a banner year for me, writing-wise. It wasn’t through a lack of planning or writer’s block per se, but more of a lack of enthusiasm. I guess we all go through periods in our lives where our brains need to recharge and 2019 was mine.

The good news is that 2020 looks much better in the writing department! I have an incredibly ambitious writing schedule planned for novels

Quotes by Nancy M. Griffis (?)

“The Bible’s a fine, holy piece of literature and holds a lot of truth. It’s a thing of beauty and wisdom. Problem is, man wrote it down and as ever’one knows, man takes… what’s it called… ‘artistic license.’ That’s my way of thinkin,’ anyhow. You have love in your life and you hang on to it with all you got. Of course, now, the trick of the matter is to know who, or what, you love most so you can hang onto it. That particular bit right there ain’t at all easy, believe me.”
― Nancy M. Griffis
