Michael Salvatore Books

Looking for Michael Griffo or Michael Salvatore?  Well we're one and the same.  Let me explain -- Bet you didn't know that when you write differnt types of books you sometimes use differnt names.  That's what I did. I'm Michael Salvatore and Michael Griffo.  (Salvatore's the middle name.)  

About me

A little about me, born and raised in New Jersey in a traditional Italian Catholic home.  Big family-Big Sunday dinners-Big reason to MOVE OUT.
Graduated NYU with honors, followed up by living in Hell's Kitchen as a starving artist.  That lost it's shine quickly, so i got a real job.  Real Job Real Life Real boring.  Until I begain writing . . . and here I am.

HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - a gothic soap opera that's a cross between Dark Shadows and Revenge.  The story centers around Amanda Love, who's son was kidnapped  15 years ago -- by a vampire.  Now the time has come for mother and son to be reuinited.  If you loved Barnabus Collilns, you'll love Vincent Savage - just another reluctant vampire hellbent on revenge.

And for something completely different, there's PEN PALS.  This is an epistolary novel -- a novel of letters -- between two women -- Bernie in New Jersey and Mags in England.  Through their letters we read the story of their lives starting from their first correspondence when they're 15.  This novel was inspired by my own mother's pen pal relationship that lasted for over 60 years!  In our fast-paced society where texts aren't quick enough, this book is a breath of fresh air.

UNAFRAID is the third book in the groundbreaking young adult
Archangel Academy series that continues Michael Howard's amazing
journey into a world he never dreamed existed.
 
At Archangel Academy, an all-boys boarding school in Eden (a rural town in northwestern England), Michael Howard has found new friends, new love, and a place that feels more like home than his small Nebraska hometown ever did. Michael is now a vampire with a destiny that was foretold long ago and a group of friends with their own mysterious abilities.
 
After years of writing plays, doing some acting and singing, graduating from NYU with honors, moving from one small apartment to another in New York, I've finally found my niche.  Author.  First up in my new role: UNNATURAL, Book One in the Archangel Academy series.
 
It's a Young Adult series that takes place at a boarding school in a town called Eden in northwestern England and centers around the love story of Michael and Ronan.  Michael just moved there from Nebraska and Ronan, well he's a vampire, so you know there's going to be drama.  And suspense.  And blood.  (He is a vampire after all!)  Archangel Academy and the whole series are filled with lots of other supernatural characters and I've given the old vampire legend a brand new twist.  I think you'll enjoy it.

How do I spend my time

How do I spend my time

I am a full-time writer, so most of my time is devoted to that. Writing content for clients, coming up with new ideas, researching topics and conducting interviews are some of the main things I do in my writing. When I'm not working on projects or taking care of other business-related tasks, I enjoy reading books, watching movies, going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I also like to take some time to explore new hobbies and stay up to date on the latest news in my field. Whether it's creative writing, journalism or copywriting - there is always something to learn. Being a writer is an ever-evolving profession and I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and grow.

In addition to my writing, I also run a blog where I share my thoughts on various topics related to my profession. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience as it allows me to connect with other writers, discuss ideas and collaborate on projects. By contributing meaningful content to the online world, I am helping to build a better future and that makes me very proud.
