Welcome Aboard the Crazy Train!

Hey y'all! My name is Aly Martinez (just in case you missed the huge header). I spend my days as a stay at home mom while pretending to be an author. I'm 32 and have a boat load of kids that keep me busy. My life is crazy, which is probably why I drink entirely too much wine. A few years ago I started reading, and it changed my life forever. Over the span of two years, I've read over 400 books. It's been an amazing journey. It lead me to start a book blog (shameless plug: www.whitezinbookends.com) a few months back with two of my best friends. Through WZ Bookends, I've had the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing authors, bloggers, and readers out there.

While driving home from Walmart one day in late October,  a story embedded itself in my head and wouldn't let go. It spiraled out of control until I finally opened my laptop and just started writing. Six weeks later, I'm 80% done with my first novel, Changing Course. It's a contemporary romance written for readers who are 18+.

It's been a wild ride filled with tears, hand cramps, and lots of laughs. I love company, so please join me aboard the crazy train!

  2. Just started changing course and cannot stop listening. I am addicted to both audio and kindle books, so I go through ALOT! I am constantly looking for new authors to add to my repertoire and am so happy to have found you! There is nothing better than a fast paced, emotional, romance story with super HOTT SCENES. You have superbly outdone yourself. I will happily listen to every book you write as long as they are all as good as the first...while not so patiently waiting for the next to come out. You have made me a FOREVER fan!
