I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I chose the latter. Way cheaper. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write...except for that graffiti phase I went through as a teenager. Oops. Did I say that out loud?

True confession: I’m not a huge non-fiction reader. So, when I do decide to crack open the cover of story that isn’t completely made up, I’m pretty picky—not just about the content but the writing. It’s got to draw me in, wow me, make me sit up and t ...more

Michelle Griep, Brentwood's Ward

Michelle Griep, Undercurrent

Topics Mentioning This Author

“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.”
John Milton, Areopagitica

“It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out! A door slammed. The maid screamed. Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was growing up.”
Charles M. Schulz, It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, Snoopy

“Deeds done in the dark can never remain unexposed.”
Michelle Griep, A Heart Deceived

Richard Dominguez thank you for the friend


Michelle Griep Hey, it's my honor indeed to have you as a friend! Looking forward to peeking at what you're reading, my dear!

Kara thanks for adding me to your friend list, Michelle, blessings !!

Lisa Greetings! I feel like deja vu since I had just started to get ready for our interview. It's good to see you here. Did you read all the Mary Stewart books? I didn't think I was going to start plugging in everything I read, but every once in a while, I recall someone I loved and then have to sort through them. Am I about the only other person who has an actual copy of hte Areopagitica on her living room book shelf? We had to study it in college.

Lisa

Sarah I have so many favorites! My constant favorite is Jane Austen. I haven't read any Georgette Heyer books, and i've been wanting to! which of hers would you recommend?


Michelle Griep Wow, thanks so much, Jane! That's great. I really appreciate it!
