About Martha

I'm an Ohio-based screenwriter and author. Am currently revising an action-adventure time-travel feature and writing a holiday rom-com, a horror rom-com, and revising my faith-friendly family feature. Am also working on an historical drama feature adaptation of my middle grade children's book about the true story of a nun and her brave schoolgirls who confronted Union General Sherman during the Civil War burning of Columbia, SC.

As an award-winning former TV news and special projects producer, writer, reporter, videographer, and editor, I have decades of experience producing, writing, and collaborating on.live and videotaped TV programs. I excel in meeting deadlines. I'm also a retired technical editor for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. Yeah, people always ask if I saw any little green aliens there. I can neither confirm nor deny! :-)
