![]() That little fact is important because of the time spent by Faith herself living on a narrow boat. ![]() There is no more stark sign that Faith Martin’s stories are inspired in some way by her own life than the fact that Hillary Greene, the protagonist of her detective novels, lives on a narrow boat. Her time in the surrounding areas of Oxfordshire countryside manifests clearly in her work, Martin standing apart as an author because of the rich knowledge she brings to her stories, bringing to life all the unique facets of the countryside and its collection of interesting individuals. It is because of the time spent in Bicester that Faith has such knowledge and understanding of the nearby thriving canal-boat community. ![]() It is hardly a surprise that Martin’s series of books are set around Oxfordshire CID. Faith’s work, her stories and the books she has produced manifest from her experiences in England, the things she has seen or heard and the places with which she is familiar. The series follows DI Hillary Greene, the protagonist of Faith Martin’s series and through whom Faith has achieved her dream to work as an author. Martin is primarily known for her work on a popular detective series. Martin writes primarily within the mystery genre, though some people do not always think that her books work as mysteries. She might not be breaking any records but Faith Martin is doing well enough for people to recognize her name in literary circles, especially people with a particular interest in her genre of books. Those who have spoken to Faith Martin know one thing and one thing only Faith has always wanted to be an author, and she pretty much achieved that objective. She hasn’t exactly hit the stratosphere when it comes to writing, and one wonders whether she has ever cared to reach those heights. No one is going to call Faith Martin’s work a runaway success. So she took a chance she left her formal employment behind and began working at writing as an actual career. However, her desire to strike out as a successful author finally won out over her love for college life. Rather she loved college life and Oxford academe. And it isn’t like Faith Martin was miserable or anything. She harbored a love for writing, but it quickly got buried under the strain and requirements of her academic life. Martin has always had a free spirit, unique to her, even if others do not always see it. Her life in the employment arena began when she took a secretarial post at Somerville College. Martin was born in Oxford and nothing about her life suggested that she would pursue writing.
