Elva Cobb Martin
“Why I write...
I wrote my first 'story' in seventh grade. Can you believe the horse hero (Black Beauty genre) won the race at the end, even though he had a broken leg? Great fiction.
Growing up on a farm, I still love horses, but later fell in love with pirates, sailing ships, strong heroes, heroines, and real romance, probably due in part to an old movie icon, Errol Flynn. I've enjoyed all his TCM movies. Meeting and marrying my high school sweetheart, (quite a few years ago now) probably had something to do with the romance part. Can you believe he is still romantic, tells me first thing most mornings—me with no make up and hair all askew—how beautiful I am? My mama would say his eyesight might not be what it used to be.
I love to write stories about Christian romance which I believe God plans for his people. Have you noticed our God is into romance? Big time. Jesus is called the Bridegroom and all of us Christians are called The Bride and we are headed to a Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The goal for my stories is to share a warm, clean, romance and exciting adventure but also to plant nuggets of God's truth to impact a reader's life."
