I'm a published author of dark fantasy novels, and I write under the name J.R. Griffith. 
I've written a series called, "Firecracker Jax," consisting of 6 books.  I would rate this series PG13.

I've also written a two-book series called, "Between the Legs of a Nightmare." Warning: Strong language, sexual situations, and violence.  Recommended for 18 and up.

I'm a Native American and live in Oklahoma on Cherokee tribal land.

I collect canes; I have 3 canes that hide swords, 2 canes that hide daggers, and 1 cane that hides liquor or contraband.  My favorite cane is a reproduction of the cane Lon Chaney Jr. wore in The Wolf Man...only mine is chrome, not silver.
