Writer, linguist, vegan, environmentalist with Buddhist tendencies. I've been writing professionally for almost 20 years–for other people (see www.marymartin.net and my daily writing blog at www.marymartinphd.com). I also blog daily at www.animalperson.net.

I was born in NYC and I live in South Florida. My Sun is in Sag, I have Leo Rising, and my Moon is in Aries … Fire! Fire! Fire! Lucky I live someplace cold to neutralize that. Oh, wait …

I have been cursed, since birth, with an overdeveloped sense of injustice that manifests across the board, but is especially heightened when it comes to nonhuman animals. I feel the suffering of all creatures, as well as the Earth, and I am dedicated to helping others think critically about their beliefs about the place nonhuman animals and the Earth have in their lives.
