Books:
Dancing the LabyrinthISBN 978-0-6451922-0-9“Martin's dreamy, esoteric book of female empowerment, maternal love, and overcoming childhood wounds, is dark, breathtaking, painful, and lovely, all atonce.”
The Bringer of HappinessISBN 978-0-6451922-2-3“Perhaps what’s most remarkable about this layered, ambitious poetic novel is its clarity and coherence, as Martin finds dramatic means to explore religious and historical complexities and spiritual connections between women through the ages.”
