I'm the author of over 40 westerns, thrillers, mysteries, and a couple of non-fiction works: Killing Cancer, and Write Compelling Fiction.  I've had screenplays optioned as well.  I'm also a video/still photographer and do short video promotional clips for book promotion, using Final Cut Studio.  You can see lots of my "how to write" articles on ezine.com, and my books on Amazon, search under books for L. J. Martin.  I also do most of my wife's book promotion: Kat Martin, the author of over 65 romantic suspense and historical romance novels, published in over a dozen languages and in more than two dozen countries.  We live in Montana and winter in California.  We're members of a number of genre organizations such as Western Writers of America, Western Fictioneers, Romance Writers of America, Society of Professional Journalists, and others.
