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 eighteen novels and ten short stories, two Muse Medallion Award winners among them, all in the challenging realms of science fiction and fantasy.
