A writer’s journey and everything in between by Author Michelle McGriff…
All I have is a pen…
All I could do was form prose with my mind to gain peace in my heart
In order to accept the hours minutes days that we are apart
I run to the internet hoping thatI can get
Just a crumb of attention from you
But there is nothing there and I’m left with despair… and then
And all I have left is a pen
To hell with all the protocol
All I want is for you to call
With just a minute of your time for me
And then all I can do is form prose with my mind to gain peace in my heart
In order to accept the hours, minutes, days that we are apart
I drop to my knees to pray for that one day
You will come home
And then all I can do is form prose with my mind to gain peace in my heart
In order to accept the hours, minutes, days that we are apart
Because all I have to cling to is my pen

California transplant Michelle McGriff now writes using the lush green backdrop of the Great Northwest as her muse.
Known to her family as the `best of storytellers’, Ms. McGriff spins intelligent, poignant, and touching yarns, with a poetic voice and writing that has become hers to keep, holding her readers captive from start to finish.
She excitedly became a part of the Kensington Publications, joining first Q-boro Books in 2005 and then Urban Soul in 2005. With this opportunity to shine, she hoped to entertain a new audience with her rule-breaking, cross-genre writing style that is sure to entertain the enlightened reader.
In 2006, she joined the ranks of Best Selling Author with her contribution of Secret Lovers and has held the status each year with entertaining reads.
While working towards her PhD in Organizational Management (which she will use as a corporate trainer / cultural competency workshop facilitator) Ms. McGriff is also working on a guidebook that will help business writers with visual communication in the workplace, as well as new fiction writers who want to realize their dreams while avoiding some of the pitfalls common to newcomers to the industry. As an advocate of self publishing, Ms. McGriff will focus much research on self publishing for new writers.
