Bio
JM Griffin grew up in the Maine countryside. Inspired by the Nancy Drew mysteries, JM wrote her first story at age twelve.
Throughout her life JM has worked as an artist and has been a full time mother who attended college at the age of 40. Eventually the writing bug returned and after several attempts, she arrived at the Lavinia, a.k.a. Vinnie, Esposito series of novels. With 5 novels written and one in the works, JM's second in the series was published in paperback in February of 2009. The first Esposito story will be available soon in e-book form through Lachesis Publishing.
In addition to romantic suspense, JM has combined her passion for writing and artwork by publishing several instructional painting books and design pattern packets. She has been published in decorative painting, craft, and doll magazines and her greeting cards are licensed. JM's favorite activities include reading, teaching art, writing, cooking and gardening.
When JM wanted to increase her knowledge of law enforcement and all that entails, she volunteered to work with the Providence Police Department in Providence, Rhode Island for a year. During that time, she came to know the officers, the inner workings of the police department and was encouraged to ride-along with the officers to calls in the district in which she worked. Her daughter is also involved in criminal justice. The Rhode Island State Police also work closely with JM when she needs information and inspiration.
Living in rural Rhode Island surrounded by forests, the Scituate Reservoir and natures creatures, JM considers it the perfect life.
