Xlibris author, Richard V. Martin has been featured in a newspaper, the Marietta Daily Journal, a daily paper printed out of Cobb County, Georgia. The article itself, published on July 24, describes Richard’s book series, as well as sharing the author’s thoughts behind his writing, and a little into the author’s background.
Richard V. Martin, better known to his friends as Dick, was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in southern California. He attended Valley Community College and received a designation in public relations from UCLA. His working years included sports and feature writing for the Burbank Daily Review. He has worked as a story coordinator for Warner Brothers Television Division and a variety of public relations positions for Lockheed Martin, before retiring as public relations director from the company’s facility in Marietta, Georgia. He currently resides in a cabin on a river in Ellijay, Georgia.
Richard Martin’s primary book series, The Adventures of a Problem Solver, involves a rather unorthodox private investigator as well as his even more unusual associates and clients. Refusing to give in to his father’s demands to run the family business, Garett Kannis circles the globe to right wrongs. He finds time to add a wife and two overachieving children to the family tree. Garett Kannis is driven and motivated with the desire to help the victims of crime.
In his own words, Richard describes his thought processes behind the writing: “I like easy writing that keeps the reader asking what’s next… I try not to give the reader time to skip read with long passages and deep observations that distract the story.”
The article wraps up by indicating that Richard V. Martin’s books can be purchased through Amazon.com and Barnes & Nobles.
