Gerald G. Griffin was born in Flint, Michigan, and wrote his first book in the 9th grade, which was read, chapter by chapter, to his class by his teacher. From then on, he couldn't escape the writing bug. Later, encouraged by his father, he received his Ph.D. in psychology from Michigan State University, and after years of private practice in Atlanta, Georgia, after his father died, unable any longer to resist the writing bug, he became a writer full-time. His first novel was the bestseller, THE CORRUPTORS; followed by THE DEATH DISCIPLE and THE LAST COMING. His current work, recently released, is the spine-tingling action thriller, OF GOOD AND EVIL. Gerald now resides in Gainesville, Georgia, where he has just completed the sequel, A TIME OF RECKONING.
