Here are some other things you may not know about me:
- I am a novelist
- I don’t have one favorite opera, but Mozart might be my favorite composer
- I can clog a little
- I cannot roll my tongue for love or money
- I sang one of the Three Ladies from The Magic Flute in workshop
- I review opera for Bachtrack, the world’s best place to find live classical music
In 2010, for the first time I won first place in Washington National Opera’s “Opera in the Outfield” songwriting contest held in conjunction with an outreach event simulcasting A Masked Ball in Washington Nationals’ stadium with this entry.
I am available by email at galemartin.writer@gmail.com and would love to hear from you unless you are a crazy, stalker-type person, in which case you should email your mother-in-law or a local legislator and get up in their grill instead.
Alternately, you can also follow me on Twitter, and message me there:

Can’t roll your tongue for love or money? Dang but those are the only two reasons I can imagine rolling one’s tongue for.
Oh, you happy goose, you, Stephen! You always make me smile.
Gale,
A fellow member of the “talkclassical” forum recommended your book and blog. After reading the first few sample pages on Amazon, Ive purchased the Kindle version of your novel. Thank you for making it available in the ebook format. Happy Holidays and best wishes to you and yours, from a new fan.
Hello, Lou! I’m delighted that you stopped by and took the time to let me know where you heard about the book and that you purchased it. I hope you like it, and I am thrilled to count you as a new fan. All the best to you and yours this holiday season!
Great! I look forward to it.
Best wishes from Ann
Hello Gale
Love your blog and follow you on Twitter. I am interested in reading your books but can’t seem to find them. What are the titles?
Thanks
Ann
Hi, Ann. My first book, a novel based on the Don Giovanni will be coming out this fall, hopefully within a month. So please stop back for more info if I’m not in touch with your first. Thank you for asking.
