Ronald
Griffin is a 31 year old Author who grew up in Georgia and still
lives there today. His current writing style includes paranormal
fantasy and horror. He has been writing since he was 9 years old when
he wrote a Tiny Toons Adventure skit for his class and it was well
received. From there, he was absorbed with writing about Superheros
but once high school hit, the supernatural started calling him,
especially the werewolves. This is where his latest The Blood Lives
Saga was born. You can either find him locked away in his writing
cave or at his local Cracker Barrel where he supports his fantasy
genre reading habit. His Author idol is the husband and wife writing
team Ilona Andrews. He has thoroughly enjoyed their magic series
novels and feels encouraged that they are from his same state. When
not writing, you can find Ronald spending time with his daughters
(ages 3 and 9) and his son (age 7). He can be found spending time
making precious moments with them and hopefully passing along his
writing bug to them.

5. What sparked your passion for books and
the art of a good story?
*My Mom always had a passion for reading and we would always watch movies together as well. We would watch mostly fantasy movies like Legend, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Krull, and many other movies and I believe growing up with such movies sparked my imagination. I started writing short stories when I was in kindergarten but they were usually based on cartoons. In middle school I started writing my own superhero story. It wasn't until high school until I started writing supernatural stories. It was then that I started writing some of the elements of this particular novel. Over the years I wrote many short stories and always wanted to write a novel but certain life events caused me to post pone. I have kids now and decided that I want to leave behind something that they could be proud of
