Announcing… I Am Now A Published Author!

Finally! I move from being a writer to a published author! What a joy to see my name on a beautifully designed book cover! I can finally offer my completed adventure/action book to the public after five years in the making.

This book, for ages 8-14, tells of a young man’s struggle with guilt and feelings of inadequacies as he searches for ways to cope with his new life on an island where he now lives with his estranged grandfather, a lighthouse keeper. Besides this uncomfortable situation, a bully at school intimidates Heath, and pressure from his basketball coach adds more tense to his life. His only friend, ZZ, brings some fun into Heath’s day, but he talks too much about his faith. Heath wants ZZ to keep that part of his personality to himself.

A lack of confidence and guilt over his parent’s deaths create tension throughout his life on the island, but his greatest challenge presents itself during a violent storm and other’s lives are suddenly at risk. Will he finally step up and overcome his fear of inadequacy, or will he fail again?

This book called, Finding Heath Young Lighthouse Keeper, published through WestBow Press, is available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Kindle, Nook, etc. The book comes in hardbound, soft cover, and e-readers. Pre-sales and orders are welcome. Contact me through my personal website for more information: mmartsching@mchsi.com

Thank you for sharing in my joy of traveling down this exciting new path! What accomplishment would you like to share with me? Please leave a comment regarding this post. Thanks for stopping by and visiting my website.

Colossians – Fascinating Book Study

Last fall I completed a wonderful study of the book of Colossians! It inspired me to continue meeting with other believers and study God’s Word together. Since Christ is pre-eminent above all things and all things consist by and through Him, I learned I needed to put Him first in all I do daily.

Since then I published a book through a Christian publishing company, WestBow Press. This book is for middle-grade students ages 8-14. The Lord led me through the process of self-publishing. It was long and frustrating at times, especially financially, but in the end it so rewarding to know He allowed me to begin a new career later in life. When I held my personal copy in my hands, my heart filled with joy!

I pray many students read and enjoy this book. It’s called, Finding Heath Young Lighthouse Keeper. Hopefully, students can identify with the problems Heath encounters in the book, and his actions enable the readers to find help and solutions in their own lives.

If you want to purchase the book, please respond to this post and I will take care of it for you. Soon the book will be on amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Kindle, Nook, etc.

In the mean time, I urge you to make Christ pre-eminent in all you do and see what He accomplishes through you!

I hope to hear from you with comments on this post. Thank you for reading it!
