About Me
Hi! I'm so very glad you are visiting my website! Let me share a little bit about myself so that you can get to know the author behind my upcoming book!
My given name is Martha but I also answer to Muffy (the name I'm called by my childhood friends, sisters, nieces and nephews) and Gigi (to my grandkids.) I was born and raised in Central Illinois, USA and still live there with my husband of 44 years. We have three children, seven grandchildren, two dogs and five grand-dogs!
My hobbies are reading and creating. I love to refinish and refurbish furniture (especially "just right" sized chairs for my grandkids), cross-stitch a portrait of a loved one, build
a dollhouse or a playhouse, paint a ceramic nativity scene or write a book! I believe my creative nature is a gifting from God and feel led to share my gifts in order to honor Him.
I am a retired elementary school teacher and I love finding a book that's too good to put down. Over the years, I've had several book ideas running through my head and even onto paper but never had the courage to try to publish one.
Until now, that is! Smokey's Big Adventure and Smokey's Brave Adventure were inspired by real dogs on a real farm in Arkansas. I'm so excited to share their stories with kids and grownups who like a wholesome story inspired by really lovable pups. You can read about the real Smokey and Bandit below.
