About Martha Steinhagen Books
Originally from Michigan, Martha has had a series of nontraditional jobs since graduating from Michigan State University. She was a printer for nine years, fished commercially, worked for a large outdoor music festival, did research for a law firm, was interim director of a battered women's shelter, drove a delivery truck for a diaper service, an apple orchard and an egg co-op, taught elementary school, painted houses (inside and out), with the occasional bartending and waiting tables thrown in for good measure. She holds a private pilot's license, a commercial truck driver's license, and a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's license. Martha spent twenty-four years in the Caribbean working as a boat cap-tain and scuba diving instructor before recently retiring to mid-Michigan.
