Biography
Eventually Martin parlayed these successes into a career in professional book publication. Martin has written and illustrated seven children's books: an enigmatic book of story fragments & illustrations called The Imaginaries, middle grade fairy tale retelling Snow & Rose, picture books The Wonderful Things You Will Be, Dream Animals: A Bedtime Journey, Day Dreamers: A Journey of Imagination, and The Littlest Family's Big Day. A series of vignettes, Oddfellow's Orphanage, which she also wrote and illustrated, was described by Publishers Weekly as a "poignant and gently humorous debut […] set in an unusual orphanage." She also produced a popular crafts book, The Black Apple's Paper Doll Primer: Activities and Amusements for the Curious Paper Artist.
