There are two types of people in life: those who express words better verbally and those who express words better written. Maurice L. Griffin is the former. It showed early on in his life-as a B/C student in English, he did what he had to do to get through school and college. But he knew the importance of communication (words can create and or take life, along with everything in between). So much so that this was his major in college-no, not the written form, but verbal expression, studying and eventually starting a career in media. This verbal form has kept him employed for over twenty-five years as a television photographer at a local news station. When Maurice is not shooting video and interviewing people though, you can find him either exercising at his local gym, or in the kitchen cooking for his family. From the latter was born a passion to create his own barbecue sauce: a sweet, tomato-based, 'Kansas City Style' barbecue sauce called Jena's BBQ & Baked Bean Sauce. Jena's is currently available online and in few specialty stores in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area. A Michigan native, Maurice has been married to Ruth for over 22 years. They reside in North Carolina and have four adult children. 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 vanity press that offers publishing, graphic design and writing services; as well as a cohost of Authors Up, a streaming radio 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.
