About the Book
OUT OF MY MIND is a delightful, eclectic collection of engaging narratives by author Martha Wood. These were developed as the author’s mind was, as she puts it, “Set free to play.”
Written in short story style, some of the anecdotes are amusing, as in Funny Names, or Things I Always Wanted to Do, But Thank God I Haven’t; some serious like It Shouldn’t Hurt…, or The N Word; some fictional such as Elizabeth, the Queen, or Treasures from the Attic; some poignant as in No One Ever Says, “Hi,” or Where Sorrow and Gladness Meet; while yet others are instructive like Dealing with the Odor, and Until We Eat Again. For a little mystery, there is The Gunslinger, and Congratulations on a Dedicated Life. All, though, give voice to thoughts set free and permitted expression.
About the Author
Martha Wood, a life-long singer, asserts that music feeds her soul and writing feeds her spirit. This Arizona author, in employment, worked her mind daily. Retiring, she decided it was time for her mind to have some fun. Out of My Mind was inspired by fellow writers and husband Jim (a self-published author) of 55 years, three children, plus grandchildren.
