Griffith tried her hand at writing fiction for the first time after the group broke up. In 1983, Griffith wrote a journal entry in which she outlined her goals to become the “best-seller.” She was writing her debut (unpublished) book, Greenstorm. Griffith began to study self-defense techniques in the following year, and in August 1984, she lit her last puff. The next month, she stopped smoking hashish as well as amphetamines. She was rejected for her novel at the hands of two publishing houses. The elements that would later appear in Ammonite came up in a different unpublished (this one, too, was not submitted) novelcalled “We Are Paradise” (ca. 1985).
Griffith was a victim of personal setbacks which were rooted in 1985. At the time, Helena was on the verge of becoming addicted to heroin as well as amphetamines. When the year came to an end, Griffith (already sick with flu) was injured and admitted to hospital after helping another woman during an assault in a bar. The delayed reaction to the assault resulted in the later diagnosis of PTSD in June of 1986. The writing she was doing and the women’s self-defense class she taught helped her throughout these difficult times and Helena’s counterexample also helped convince Griffith that it was time to end all forms of recreational drugs, including the magic mushrooms she relied heavily on had been a long time coming.
Nicola Griffith published her first novel Ammonite in 1993. It won both the James Tiptree, Jr. Award and the Lambda Award, and was short-listed for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, BSFA Award, and Locus Award. Her second novel, Slow River (1994), won the Nebula Award, for best novel and another Lambda.
