Martha Bolton began writing when she was nine years old. She wrote a "book" about being the youngest of five. It was titled, "No Fun Being Young." It was never published because most publishers wouldn't talk to a nine-year- old. Besides, it was only about a dozen pages long.
Today, Martha is the author of over 80 books. She was a staff writer for Bob Hope for fifteen years, and received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Music and Lyrics. She has also written for dozens of comedians and entertainers, and received a Dove award nomination for "A Lamb's Tale", a children's musical co-written with Dennis Allen. Her popular series of books for middle-agers (Didn't My Skin Used to Fit?, Cooking With Hot Flashes, and others) have addressed the subject of growing older in a fun and fresh way.
Martha also wrote the script for the stage production of The Confession (music by Wally Nason). It is a moving musical based on Beverly Lewis' bestselling trilogy The Shunning, The Confession, and The Reckoning.
