My name is Elizabeth Martyn, and as well as developing this website, I have had a long career as a freelance writer and author. You can contact me here. Here are details of the books I've written. Books about relationships Babyshock!
Once I had a few hours a day for concentrated work, I approached Relate, the relationship counselling experts, with the idea, and so BabyShock! came into being. Many parents have told me how useful they've found it, which is very rewarding. Here's the blurb from the back cover:
Reviews of Baby Shock! "BabyShock! is a great guide to seeing beyond your child and discovering your partner again." Daily Express "For the latest advice on becoming a new parent, see Baby Shock!" Bella "Do read Baby Shock!, a relationship survival guide for new parents." Woman's Weekly Click here to buy Baby Shock Before You Say I Do Before You Say 'I Do' was my second book written for Relate. It's a straightforward guide to the ups and downs of relationships, and is aimed at people who are thinking about marriage, or are struggling within a relationship. Once again I drew on the experience of Relate counsellors to cram the book with checklists, questionnaires, case histories and advice that would help people to understand more about how their relationship works. Using the book, you can sort out your hopes, expectations, strengths and potential problem areas. Knowing more about these can help you build a relationship that has the staying power to last into the long-term future. The book covers money problems, sexual incompatibility, children, family, work and many other topics which can have an impact on a couple's life together. Before You Say 'I Do' has a four-star rating at amazon, and a reviewer said: 'The format of the book makes it easy to dip into any area which is causing you or your partner concern.'

Books about cats Every book author deserves some fun now and then - and I get mine from writing about cats. I love their beauty, their funny little ways, and their cuddly furriness, although I'm not quite so keen when my own cats decide to take a snooze on my desk... Everything Cats Expect You To KnowA big miscellany of fascinating cat facts. I wrote a 12-title series of The Little Cat Books |
I often thought about writing this book during the years that my children were pre-schoolers, but I never had the time, or the energy.
