Martha C. Shively

My Husband (of 15 years) and I have 3 adopted children. One no longer lives with us. Our other two children have been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. The youngest one also has bi-polar disorder among other things. Life is interesting from one day to the next around here.
I have been writing since I was 8 years old. I also like to read, study the Bible, spending time with my family, play video games, and crochet.

I have posted one of my children’s stories on Hub Pages. The story is called “Why Did You Leave Me?” http://ladyauthor47.hubpages.com/hub/whydidyouleaveme. I have also had some poetry published in various places. Most of my poems are inspired by some event, word or action. I have recently published a book of my poetry on Lulu.com. The book is called “Inspirations from the World” http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/inspirations-from-the-world/16446077. I have also published a research paper called “Living with Depression” http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8283085/living_with_depression.html?cat=5. I am working on some coloring/comic books that are geared for children with learning disabilities that I've titled "Don't Play with Us."
