Biography
Martha Morning Todd born Marti Kurtz was raised in Southern Michigan. Marti knew from the time she was in 5th grade in grammar
school that she wanted to be a writer. Marti moved with her family while in high school to Tucson Arizona. Tucson was a much
different environment from Southern, Michigan, but the family soon grew to love the peace of the desert and felt right at
home. After high school, Marti spent a year in Southern California. She went to college part-time and spent much of her time
down by Huntington Beach, soaking in the sun and watching people.
Marti went to Las Vegas, Nevada and attended
the University of Nevada where she studied accounting. She has lived in Indiana and is an adoptive Hoosier but now lives
in Tucson, Arizona. Marti works full-time in the accounting profession and has three children.
Marti’s
stories have some truth to them, but they are mostly fiction. She writes about some of her experiences and her family and
children are also relevant in her work. In 2003, Marti received her PhD in business and ethics from American College. She
was also awarded an honorary fellow that same year. But Marti decided her passion was writing and starting writing full time
in 2000.
“Losing Hope” (IUniverse released in March 2005) is her first novel. Martha also writes children’s
books and “Sock-a-nina” (Authorhouse released in June 2005) is based on the experiences with her two children when
they were little.
