I have been writing for over 20 year but have just decided in the digital age to publish some of my short stories.

I get my aspiration from my loving wife and family, which include my pets. Garfield and Alfie the two cats, George my trusted Jack Russell dog and Robbie the rabbit with who at least one of the stories would not exist.

A slice of life.

Each month I write a blog, I hope you can find time to give it a read and some comments it's at http://7barrytmartin.blogspot.co.uk/

Thank you for reading my profile, I look forward to becoming friends and looking at your work.

Regards Barry T Martin.

Freya Barrington Hi Barry,

My latest book, Gozo Is the Grass Greener has just been released.

Check it out here on Goodreads;

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Or visit my blogsite;

www.gozoisthegrassgreener.blogspot.com

Gozo is one of the Maltese islands and currently very popular and topical due to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt making a movie there!

Many thanks Barry -

All the best

Freya
