Hello *waves* I'm A.M. Griffin, writer of all things sexy and some things not so sexy (YA and monster porn). Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest release, On These Pages. It's my first contemporary romance, something that I never thought I'd write. I usually write about heroes that are alien, wolf-shifter or vampiric in nature.
On These Pages
On These Pages is a second chance romance. I believe in second chances, especially since my marriage is a product of one. I met my husband in high school, but in this story, Toni Harrison met Ahmad in College. She was the bright-eyed, naïve freshman and he was an upper classman, player. Doomed from the beginning. Years later and after major changes in both their lives they ran into each other again. While Toni never had gotten over Ahmad, he didn't remember her. Ouch.
I started writing On These Pages during a low point in my life. I was beginning to question my motivation to write. One day I had this vision of this woman and man and as their story unfolded in my mind I felt compelled to write about them. I wanted to find out more about them and know how their story ended. Since I'm a pantser (someone who doesn't use an outline) every word, every scenario and every emotion was new to me. The story eventually ended up being almost 100K words and unfortunately I had to revise and cut out a hulking 20K words (yikes! The pain!)
The story is set in Detroit, Michigan in the present. I don't live that far from Detroit so it was pretty easy to weave the city into the story. Roller skating is a big thing there so I made sure to add a scene where they had a function at the roller rink. Michigan also has a ton of state and county parks and I made sure to throw a good family picnic in the story. I loved writing On These Pages and hope that you'll enjoy Toni and Ahmad just as much as I do.
