A
supernatural thriller of chilling carnage and haunting beauty. . .
Saturday afternoon February 21, the Friends of the Big Bear
Valley Library will host a book signing event. Big Bear Valley’s author Shirley A. Martin will
present her recently released book, Bloodline Gypsy .
If you’ve dined at the Teddy Bear Restaurant, located on Pine Knot
Avenue in the Village of Big Bear Lake, you’ve probably met Shirley Martin somewhere
in her thirty years of working at the landmark establishment. Martin,
the mother of a daughter and son, has lived in Big Bear Valley most
of her life. Inspired by the beauty of the San Bernardino Mountains; her story weaves
through the streets and forests of the Valley. Martin’s somewhat gritty thriller depicts a fresh new take on werewolves and
their mysterious link to gypsies. Infused with science, history and legend, Bloodline Gypsy proves to be an ‘on the edge of your seat’
adventure!
As well as being a recognized author, Martin is an artist and
has displayed in various art shows. Her Charcoal sketching of The Stampede was chosen three years ago,
for the Cowboy Gathering of Big Bear
Valley.
Elaine W. Trei, also an artist with The Arts Council of Big Bear Valley says about her friend, ‘All of
her paintings draw the viewer into the painting and hold the viewer’s attention
in the landscapes. She definitely knows how to use shapes and designs to make
the painting speak to the viewer.’
Martin’s talent with a brush also paints with words in Bloodline Gypsy that is rocking the five
star review ratings on book sites such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Inspired
