I am the author of eleven novels, including the Amazon bestsellers CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST and BITS OF BROKEN GLASS.

My writing has appeared in Magnificat magazine and my very short poem was read by journalist Connie Schultz during National Public Radio's "Tell Me More" poetry challenge.

I live in Rhode Island, never far from the ocean.

My novel VILLA DEL SOL won the 2018 Book Prize in Literary Fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.

Check out my newest novel - I WISH I HAD A RIVER, available now!

It’s been a pretty good run here at WordPress. I started blogging in 2012, shortly before the release of my very first novel. (Author platform and all that stuff, you know). Eleven years and eleven novels later, I’m ending my relationship (amicably) with this site.

These past years have been fun, for the most part. I’ve met some wonderful people through blogging, and w

Martha’s Recent Updates

Martha Reynolds and 2 other people liked Mariah's review of Fly Girl: A Memoir:
Fly Girl by Ann Hood
"Interesting topic and a quick read, but the editing was horrible. The author repeated herself… repeatedly! A good editor would have caught that and also tightened up some of the awkward transitions and missing pieces. "
Martha Reynolds and 2 other people liked Jillian's review of Fly Girl: A Memoir:
Fly Girl by Ann Hood
"2.5/5
I think I knew a tad too much about this topic to find this book truly inspiring/interesting. I felt like I was in a history class. The writing wasn’t as eloquent or captivating as I was hoping it’d be. Swing and a miss, for me, on the rare non-" Read more of this review »

"2.5 ⭐️

Listened to the audio book. While I liked some aspects of this memoir (history of flight attendants) I found it rather repetitive. I also felt the way it was told left significant gaps which made me want more details and wonder why details wer" Read more of this review »

“Wishes father thought, but they don't breed evidence.”
John Galsworthy

“Lovers of print are simply confusing the plate for the food.”
Douglas Adams

“Writers are the exorcists of their own demons.”
Mario Vargas-Llosa

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
