Martin Crosbie

There were moments of magic, scenes filled with foreboding, passages that were poetic and ruminative, others that were breathtaking. The masterful handling of Malcolm's mother, was brilliant. There were many scenes, especially toward the end, that were fast-paced and made the book impossible to put down. Susan Russo Anderson I have to say I have not read a book that took me on such an emotional ride in many years. I just finished it and I'm still reeling. I am typically a romance/fantasy reader but this is definately going on my favorite books list. Martin Crosbie will be on my watch list of authors in the future. This was an incredible story to read.Patricia PaonessaMr. Crosbie's first novel is a wonder! Once I started, I couldn't stop. I just HAD to find out what happened next. His characters are so believable and I felt a real connection to his hero's kind heart and the difficulties he faced while growing up and throughout his life. I completed the novel in just a day and was sad to have it end.Flavia Joy I wanted to hug Malcolm (the main character), I cared about his life and story of love, suspense and self discovery and I didn't want it to end. The author, is a wonderful story teller he takes his characters on many journeys through out the story but most importantly he takes his readers as well, in a sweet, enduring and subtle way. KPH I found the composition extraordinarily accessible, and the character immediately sympathetic. He has a knack of revealing his inner thoughts and conflicts in a manner that is illuminating without being self-serving. I felt I learned something important about myself, a great combination of story and significance. Just read it and see. K Adcock From the AuthorMy name is Martin Crosbie, and I'm the author of "My Temporary Life."My novel takes place in Scotland and Canada and involves friendship, romance, suspense, and redemption. It's a tale of unlikely heroes and real-life problems. A reader recently was kind enough to describe my novel this way-"My Temporary Life" is quite simply the best novel by a debut author that you will ever find.Thanks very much for taking the time to take a look at my work.

Lies I Never Told – A Collection of Short Stories It’s what we do. We make our own beds. We become thirty, then forty. We divorce and re-marry and visit our children on weekends, and work at jobs we never dreamt of doing, and have too many relationships with people we don’t like. On the outside we look like any other forty-year-old hero. We’re not though, because it never goes away. No matter how hard we try to hide it, inside we’re still seventeen, sitting at the river, looking for the girl with the brown eyes. In this intensely personal collection of short stories, bestselling author Martin Crosbie writes about relationships, sex, children, infidelities, guilt, and sometimes, the absence of guilt.
