Ruth E. Griffin began telling stories at a young age, first with pictures, then with words. Even though she always considered herself an artist first, Ruth has been writing since grade school. She penned her first book as a teenager and has continued writing since then. Ruth is now the award-winning author of several books, which center on women's experiences. She is the founder of Studio Griffin, LLC., a full-service hybrid press; as well as a cohost of Authors Up, an internet show that provides a platform for new, established, and aspiring authors. A New Jersey native, Ruth now resides in North Carolina with her husband. They are parents to four adult children. Her books are available at all major online bookstores.
