Welcome to Writing for Christ! Thank you for being with us today.


Tell us a little about yourself!
Dare I be so bold as to call myself an author? Being that I'm one of those freaks who attended poetry workshops instead of summer camp during my formative years, yes, I will. While other teens busied themselves throwing parties when their parents weren't home, I was the nerd holed up in my room with pen and paper.


1: How long did you write before you were published?

I’ve been writing since I first discovered Crayolas and blank wall space. After I took to using regular paper, it was about 7 years to get my first novel published, 2 years for an article.

2: When you held that first book in your hands, what was your first thought?

Whoops. I think I just peed my pants. Followed by wow…what a gorgeous cover!

3: What are you working on now?

I’m finishing up a historical set in 1795 England. It’s about lies, insanity, and if that weren’t variety enough, I made the hero an opium addict.
4: Where can readers find out more about your books?
Visit my website at http://www.mmgriep.com/

5: What message(s) do you want to be clear to your readers?

To draw attention to the amazing, all-powerful, and holy God that loves us so much, He died for us.

6: What are two things that people wouldn't normally know about you as a writer and or person?

My dad’s name was Epaphras. Seriously. And in my natural habitat, I’m a complete introvert.

Thank you for being with us today. Any final words for readers?

Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit – bidden or unbidden, God is present.
