Wayne J Martin spent his childhood and a great part of his life in Islip, NY. He now resides in Melbourne Beach, Florida. He has authored both humor and intrigue. Your own reflections will come to life allowing a laugh at life’s odd characters, or a cold chill of what God and nature may have in store for us. He is originally from Long Island but now lives on a barrier island off the east coast of Florida. He says, "I was born on an island and somehow I am drawn to the salt air. I moved to landlocked Washington, D.C. for a while. I’d rather be surrounded by water than political hot air." He recalls the days of St. Mary’s elementary; a solemn, private, prayerful place that did not stand a chance against his little band of mischief.
