Jennifer Griffith
Jennifer Griffith is the author of four published novels: three inspirational novels, and "Big in Japan," the story of an accidental sumo wrestler. She is a wife, a mother of five, a cold cereal addict, and a moderately bad housekeeper.
Top Ten! (*This* book? Seriously?)
Well, the “By Grapthar’s Hammer, what a savings!” promo of my sumo novel has come to an end, and I am super happy about how it went. A zillion thanks to everyone who either bought the book or shared the promo, or both. The result was that BIG IN JAPAN moved up the Kindle sales charts […]
Fine. FINE. Buy the Kid a Gun.
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been in negotiations, my husband and I. It’s our annual pre-Christmas ritual. I make a big, overblown plan for what to get each of our five kids. I write it in my little “Christmas notebook.” Then I look at how ridiculous I’m being and scribble out most of […]
By Grapthar’s Hammer: What a Bargain
Soooooo, folks. My book is on sale cheap-o cheap-o for just the rest of this week on Kindle! Just 99-cents. And for less than the cost of a cup of coffee (or a 72-ounce Diet Coke), you can hold a sumo wrestler in the palm of your hands. Think of it. Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Big-in-Japan-ebook/dp/B008PH7U6C/ref=tmm_kin_title_0 […]
Autumn Scary Romance Throwback Before Christmas
I am getting ridiculously excited for Christmas. It’s carols and twinkle lights and homemade fudge all the time here at Griffith Magna. But there’s no snow. Well, duh. This is Arizona. We are still running the AC most days at least for a while. And definitely in the car. And the color on my backyard nectarine […]
The Genkan
My husband has been reading my novel BIG IN JAPAN this week. Bless his heart! What a good man I married. And I have to admit that every hero in every book I write is just a different incarnation of my good, good man. So, what’s been interesting as a bystander to his reading is […]
Post Office Frowny Face
I hate going to the post office. Have I ever mentioned that? It’s not that our local PO has a long line or is a long drive away or is an unattractive building. Just the opposite on all counts. It’s never more than a 7 minute wait. It’s a 5 minute drive. Easy parking right outside. […]
Library Meet and Greet
Last night was the monthly “Author Meet and Greet” at our local public library. A couple of months ago Joyce Wellbaum got in touch with me through another one of the “Friends of the Library” ladies who I ran into when I was in the gift shop after Preschool Storytime. (My youngest daughter and I […]
Upcoming Stufffffff
“Life moves pretty fast.” Name that 80s movie. I’ve got a ton of stuff going on too, and it’s making life speed up. I like things slow. On Saturday I’ll be in Mesa, AZ, at the Latter Day Cottage signing books from 10-2 for the WUFC Fundraiser to help raise money for Serena Freewomyn to pay […]
TKE in SLC: Best Case Scenario
Even after Friday night’s friends-and-family bash at the Barnes and Noble in Layton, I was still a nervous wreck about going to Salt Lake City for the signing at The King’s English. I’d seen pictures of the store and knew it was in a really, really cool bookstore–like the kind you see in a fabulous […]
