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. Las Vegas was not the life
she wanted for herself and her young daughter, Christina so they moved back to her Midwest roots to Indiana. 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.
