The Warren book is hereby born and on shelves as of April 5th. A friend told me to throw open the window and yell out that I am a published author! Never thought of that, but it sounds fun.
It's been a busy decade scrambling for just the basic in life here in Michigan. I miss always having work in New York City but not sure I could just move back when I am able to do that some day. Maybe that Prince of Wales Architectural doctoral program would suit me just fine in a couple of years.
Anyway, all I really want to do now is to continue to write, arrange speaking engagements for historic preservation groups and others that want to know more about a house, building, or community, and to do anything in the area of curatorial work and educating the public on an area's heritage.
I teach online as well and really enjoy that, but miss the on-ground classroom setting. That immediate human connection is what seems to be missing from many of our lives these days on a regular basis.
Well, off to do some book promoting - happily, advance sales have been brisk!
All good things ~
Book Signings: April 17th Warren City Hall Atrium 10A 4P; B&N Royal Oak May 8th, time TBD

About Me
- Martha
- NYC resident for almost 25 years; it's true that when it "gets in your blood" nothing else compares. Worked in television production (CBS, NBC, ABC) and feature film production (IATSE member), did freelance graphics, architectural interior design, cosmetic company buying (imported gifts and various packaging components). I COME FROM a very musical and artistic family and started to play classical piano at a young age. Mother Ruth Burczyk was a pianist and teacher in Grosse Pointe, Michigan for over 50 years and impacted the lives of so many in the area. One tends to forget that until so often running into friends and former students. CAREGIVING for my parents brought me back to the Detroit area where I grew up. HAVE BEEN HERE during the worst economic decade in Michigan history and nationally since The Great Depression but managed to teach design at the college level, earn an MS in historic preservation, and author this book. WARREN can now take its place among the many books in this book series; volume two is under way!
