Faith, Love and Hope

Immerse yourself in the literary universe of Rod Martin — a gifted author, poet, songwriter, and playwright rooted in the lush rainforests of Kahaluʻu, Hawaii, on the island of Oʻahu. After three decades as an educator in Hawaii’s public schools, Rod has recently retired, devoting his creative energy to an eclectic range of books that inspire teachers and captivate readers alike.
For educators eager to bring creativity into their classrooms, "Drama Games and Acting Exercises" offers a thorough guide to blending improvisational theatre seamlessly into lesson plans. "Future Poets" invites readers to explore fresh possibilities in verse, guiding them toward inventive styles of poetry. Meanwhile, "Write On" overflows with writing prompts and inspirational quotations, designed to spark the imagination of students.
Rod’s writing reaches far beyond educational tools. His novel "Jesse, Son of God" draws from personal experiences, unfolding a gripping story framed by a wager between God and the Devil. His latest novel, "Huckleberry Dick," is an absorbing mix of romance and detective fiction, following private investigator Joe Freedom and his alluring therapist, Vana Fox. His debut poetry collection, "Faith, Love and Hope," is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Rod also delights young readers with a whimsical array of children’s books, including "The Tale of Natalie Nightingale," "Baby’s Day," "Excuses, Excuses," "The Tale of the Vorpul Snit," "Check This Out," and "Things I Don’t Know About Animals" — each brimming with charm and imagination.
Take a journey through Rod Martin’s diverse body of work, where every page offers a new adventure and every story leaves a lasting impression.
