P. M. Griffin

Pauline (P. M.) Griffin has been writing since her early childhood. She enjoys telling a good tale, and since she always works with characters and situations deeply interesting to her, she finds the research as rewarding as the scribbling/keying. Griffin's Irish love of story telling coupled with her passion for history, the natural world, and the above-mentioned research have resulted in twenty novels and twelve short stories, two Muse Medallion Award winners among them, all in the challenging realms of science fiction and fantasy. She has also written several nonfiction articles, primarily for the Brooklyn Aquarium Society's publication AQUATICA, several of which have won the Editors Choice for Excellence Award. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her cats Jinx, Katie, and Nickolette and three tropical fish aquariums and devotes just about every 'spare' moment to writing, research, and reading. All my published books and stories to date are s-f or fantasy. I write good, solid adventure tales that are character driven and character oriented. Two of the short stories won the Cat Writers' Association's Muse Medallion Award. My books are for adults (because of vocabulary, sentence structure, etc., not because of objectionable content), although a good reader who is much younger would also enjoy them. I could have read any of them at 10 or 11.
