Marta Stone, Contributing Writer - Self-photograph by Marta Stone
Marta loves words, especially written ones. She reads as much as is humanly possible under the circumstances of life's responsibilities and interruptions, and has always loved to write.
Most recently a contributing writer and local editor for a website about fun family things to do within a one-tank of gas radius from home (which unfortunately is no longer being published), Marta is anxious to take advantage of more opportunities to write.
By profession, Marta is a teacher and generally the Chief Operations Officer of her home and family, which includes a husband, two young children, and two rather elderly dogs. Her other interests include traveling, photography, gardening, camping, and spending time doing fun things with her family.
