See, I am doing a new thing! ~Isaiah 43:19a
Recently, I'm asked by my publisher, if I would be willing to do both a written and podcast interview about my novels. Of course, you can surmise that I enthusiastically embraced both!
My husband, Danny, wastes no time posting both of these to the "News and Events" category at my author's website. You can access both HERE.
You should be able to read my written answers in a matter of minutes; these will give you somewhat of a preview to what is covered in the audio portion. The podcast, though, is just a hair under 25 minutes, so if you decide to listen, give yourself at least that time frame. Yes, you should be able to pause the conversation, too, just in case.
This is certainly a completely different blog for me to post, but I love that my readers here, old and new, can get to know me on a deeper, more personal level. And since I'm not on any social media sites, I would sincerely appreciate any of you who are, and like the interviews enough to share on your various accounts.
Thanks for reading and listening!
Amen!
I'm glad to hear this for you Martha. I read them for the first time but it was read and wait. The second time I read them straight through and it was wonderful! I loved them even more the second time. I can't guarantee I will find the time to listen, but hope this helps spread the word of your fine books.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind commendation about the books. I'm so honored that you read them through twice, Bill! No worries about listening; that's completely optional.

Well done you! Congratulations. 💙
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sparky!

Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your voice!
The introduction was 'Martha' and then the interview started out with Martha Jane but ended with just 'Martha'...
In my opinion it is key for keeping one and the same name, all through! That is called recognition.
Hoping this will give you some more recognition for the series you have written! It is highly competitive in your genre.
For both of us writing about Crop Science it is a lot different as there are not that many.
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks for taking the time to listen, Mariette, and for your constructive perspective on the interview. As I've never, ever done this before, it was a bit nerve-wracking for me, but Allison was a great person to chat with, and I'm just grateful for the opportunity.

Thanks for the links, Martha! I read through the written information and will listen to the podcast as soon as the workmen leave my house!! It's too noisy with them here cleaning vents! I will definitely share your links with friends! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for being willing to share the links with your friends and family via social media, Terri! I definitely wouldn't listen either if I had all that commotion going on in my home right now, so I do completely understand.
DeleteLove and blessings!
How fun to hear your voice!! Thanks, Martha!!
DeleteThis was wonderful, Martha. I am listening now. How exciting for you. It would be wonderful to have a resurgence of your books again. They are SUCH good books, and not just for children by any means!! Hey, tell Racer that Rocky and Bullwinkle say hello!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your enthusiasm and support of my books over the years, Pamela. Yes, they are definitely NOT just for children as adults do love reading them, too. I'll be sure to pass along Rocky and Bullwinkle's greetings to Racer! LOL!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Good news that's for sure
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jo-Anne, for stopping by today.

I throughly enjoyed the Glade series but it left so many things up in the air. I am hopeful that you will write another book or more to continue this series.
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet, Sandy. Thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Oh Martha, this is so exciting!!! So happy that the news of your work is getting out there. And I love Danny's enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteI love his enthusiasm, too, Linda. He's been my biggest cheerleader and fan through all of this journey. I'm glad the novels are getting a new lease on life.

ReplyDeleteThanks so very much! I do hope you'll enjoy it.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I have no idea how many times I have read and reread your wonderful books which are my favorite books to read over and over again. I have continued to recommend them to others and given several sets of the entire series. Keep up the good work, my friend. Love, Galer
ReplyDeleteOh, Galer, your sweet and thoughtful words here brought me to tears of joy! I'm so gratified to know that these are your favorites, and I'm humbled that you would purchase the sets for others. I would so love to see more folks reading and enjoying these novels. I think we'd agree that the stories are for children of all ages.
DeleteLove and blessings!

Congratulations and amen
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Cloudia.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Wow, Martha! That's wonderful how the publisher realizes how relevant your stories still are today. It has been a while since I read them, but I loved your books and characters, especially Davey and Grey. :) A line in your interview that really touches me is - "In a world so hurting and jaded by outward circumstances, I pray that these novels heal, inspire, and assure readers that God is in every bit of His creation, in all that we can understand and all that we can’t. To Him, we are all chosen ones." Such beautiful encouragement! Love and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteTrudy, your testimony here to how much you enjoyed by books warms my heart beyond words. Thanks, too, for recalling and including this quote from me, too. I haven't changed at all from that stance and believe it even more since the time I wrote it. Your comment here and continued affirmations are so appreciated!
DeleteLove and blessings!
How exciting that you are doing new things, Martha! I opened the link to read and/or listen and look forward to learning more about you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you did, Lisa! I hope you'll let me know what you think about all of it and choose to read my book series.
DeleteLove and blessings!
