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.

Tell us about your latest release? Blood Stained Lives
Well it is a
paranormal fantasy about this one mans journey to become the hero he was born
to be. He has many trials along his way that he must make his way through. It's message is basically the importance of
friends and family. When you have them on your side anything can be done.
I wanted a novel that was
gripping and fast paced from start to finish. I did leave a lot of questions unanswered and
add characters into the story before giving them much of a grand
appearance and such. All for a reason. The story I have in mind is much
too grand to add into one book. I will be releasing two series branched
off of this novel. Blood Stained Lives is the first in the Blood Stained
Saga series which will be four novels. I already have the titles, and
plots picked for the novels. I will also be releasing a series of
Novellas online titled Blood Stained Origins which will focuse on the
individual character histories. So expect more back story on every
character you have across.
What challenges have you faced in your writing
career?
Getting it started. I didn't realize there was so much work in self
promoting. I am just glad I have made some wonderful friends along the
way.
Have you ever had a day when you just
wanted to quit?
There were times I felt that maybe I wasn't cut out for this
but I kept pushing through it and well here I am.
What do you do when you’re not
writing?
Working or watching movies. I enjoy a good movie every now and then.
What are the most important attributes to
remaining sane as a writer?
Take time for yourself every now and then. Do not
let the writing consume you all the times because it can cause you lots of
unnecessary stress and your story could suffer from it.
What's been your best moment as a writer?
The feeling of love and support from everyone around me along the way.
Who's your author idol?
The writing team
Ilona Andrews. They are also from Georgia and the stories they write take place
in the state as well.
What advice would you give to aspiring
authors?
Don't be afraid to ask friends for help if going at this alone.
After this book, what is next? Writing a
series of origin novellas building up to the release of the second novel for
this series
