Martha Sugg Drexler (msuggdrexler)

A child of the fifties, I reside in a red state in the southeastern United States. At this point, I figure I have been given such varied experiences because I could use them in my writing and to help others. Ever been through chemotherapy? Been a left-handed, blue-eyed Methodist in a town of right-handed, brown-eyed Baptists? Broken both wrists at the same time? Had an IVF baby over 40, (me, not the baby)? Swabbed Duck 546 at a duck plucking plant for flu virus? Lived in a tourist town year-round? Taken up the hunter jumping equine discipline at age 53? Had a self-employed artist as the bread-winning parent? Tried to find your roots to James Robertson and wound up unexpectedly tracing back to year 595, A.D. on another branch of the family? Had major abdominal surgery with a 9 week-old fetus in tow? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I write to celebrate life.
