Amanda Grihm

Amanda Grihm was born in Youngstown, Ohio and raised in Cleveland, Ohio from the age of nine. In 1987 she moved to Atlanta, GA, where seven years later she met and married the man of her dreams, J. Emil Grihm.

Amanda is an author and playwright. She writes about stranger-than-fiction events and stories. She communicates at several different levels - verbally, visually, physically and psychologically. She is a nurturing spirit and an extraordinary communicator. She writes from her heart and her mind’s eye about love, friendship and the paranormal. She sees everything that she writes in her mind before she puts pen to paper. Amanda enjoys writing on that almost indistinguishable line between truth and fiction and fantasy and reality.

Amanda’s main focus has been on the coming-of-age stories about African American and Indigenous Indian girls becoming strong, independent women. Amanda and many members of her family have had psychic experiences. Consequently, many of her stories delve into the supernatural. Amanda believes that God has availed Himself to her and freed her from the bonds of man’s interpretation of His Word and her capabilities. Consequently, some of her stories are about her personal power and the power of God in her life.

Amanda is also a businessperson and business owner who has always had a genuine desire to improve situations and a unique ability to solve problems. Her ultimate aim is to improve the experiences of lives and circumstances.

In 2013 Amanda wrote the first of many small business books on customer care - Rat Bastard Customer Care: Committed to the fix! Rat Bastard is the NO-NONSENSE solution companies need after spending large parts of their budgets on satisfying and wowing customers to no avail.
