They say "you can't tell a book by its cover". I hope that once you've checked out my book covers below, you will be intrigued enough to delve further into my website. The buttons above take you to more info about each book, including my hot off the press middle-grade novel, Kateri O'Leary and the Computer Mouse. 'About Shirley' takes you to my not-so-brief bio, and 'News and Notes' is exactly that.
Thank you for visiting my website!!

Excerpt from a review by Caroline Woodward, author of Singing Away the Dark, The Village of Many Hats and A West Coast Summer for children, and other books for adults: "In Shirley Martin's playful hands, a diverse cast of characters and a sweetly mischievous plot are kept rolling with a runaway mouse leading the way to understanding and acceptance at last. A delightful and insightful story for 8-12 year olds." |
