December 9, 2010 – American author of more than 20 novel, two non-fiction works, and publisher of hundreds of articles, L. J. Martin, has recently launched the conservative blog, From The Pea Patch, destined to be the voice of those persons considering what is going on in Washington is an abomination.

“From The Pea Patch is one country boy’s opinion of, and reporting of, what’s happening outside, inside, and to our country,” said Mr. Martin, who before becoming a writer was a real estate broker, specializing in farms, ranches, and development properties and selling internationally.

Today, he considers himself an economic conservative and social liberal, in that he is his brother’s keeper, so long as his brother (in the broad sense of humanity) is legitimately in need, and not one of those far-too-many on the government tit for greed, not need.

Patti Johnson, one of Martins’ loyal followers, commented back in October on the website that “I am so glad you are taking the time to do this – be the voice for all of us who think what is going on in Washington is an abomination. We are headed in the WRONG DIRECTION – Socialism. Wake up America and listen to what this man has to say, he happens to be right!”

Martin, who concurs with Patti, sees his religion as that of the high lonely boy and his cathedral the alpine, above the timber line, and the monuments to and ideas of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. He believes in God, Country, and Family, and in the free enterprise system which has kept the U.S.A. as the go-to country in the world, and he damn sure wants to keep it that way. “I feel it is my responsibility to do so for our children and grandchildren,” said Martin, born and raised in the oil and rag town of Bakersfield, CA.

He also thinks compassion and political correctness have wormed their way into our society, and the psyche of our citizens, far too deeply, and it’s time “we heed to common sense for the true common good.”

Martin is married to an internationally published romantic suspense and historical romance author, and now lives in Montana. His interests include reading, writing, hunting, fishing, photography, gardening, and travel. His passions, other than his wife, are his children and grandchildren, politics, history, and his country.
