Author bio

M.V. Grimm is the pen name I use for all my books. I'm a writer who loves fantasy with a touch of humor and mystery. Currently, I have three ongoing fantasy series available for free reading on an online platform. Writing on Reedsy allows me to challenge myself with general fiction beyond the fantasy genre and see how readers respond to them. I appreciate all feedback so please feel free to comment on my work. Your insights help me improve and grow as a writer. If anyone is interested in supporting me and reading my fantasy novels, you can go to my Ko-fi link, which includes the link to my online stories. https://ko-fi.com/mvgrimm Many thanks! 😊 All stories published in reedsyprompts are: Copyright © 2025 by M.V Grimm - All Rights Reserved.
