About me.
I am the product of three generations of women writers. Their legacy to me was an inquisitive mind and a joy of writing and reading. I read to children and adults alike and take my books from children's classes to senior centers.
My first book, Wee Three: A Mothers Love In Verse, a children’s poetry book, illustrated by Hazel Mitchell, was a collaborative effort and a labor of love. I took the short, sweet verses my grandmother wrote in the nineteen thirty’s for her children and expanded those and added additional verses of my own.
I have been called a prolific and versatile writer. I currently have two children’s poetry books, Wee Three: A Mother's Love in Verse and Innocence and Wonder, two novella's The Between Times, The Choosing, Keeping the Upper Paw: A Cat's Guide to Training Your Human and am completing the prequel to The Between Times. (Darkness Descends). Her novel Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal, based on the true story of my rescue foal and written from his point of view and is enjoyed by both children and adults alike. Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal, won best Equine Rescue book at the EQUUS Film Festival, for 2015 and 2016 season.
My second novel The Between Times, tells the story of a bleak world, where society consists of the poor and the rich and the poor live in squalor, with only a prophecy for hope of a better future. It has a touch of paranormal in its pages.
I have written three adult poetry books and a variety of fantasy and paranormal stories. A few of them are stories that my mother wrote over forty years ago and I finished while others are new and vibrant stories.
I learned that one needed to have a plot and conversation to move the story forward from a particularly bad play I wrote at the age of six. It was the worst play ever written or performed. It was so awful my mother stopped the production after about three minutes.
I currently live on a small farm in Massachusetts with my husband, three horses, cats and a conure parrot named Beau. They help me remember to view the world through a child's innocence and keep me young and imaginative.

DINKY: THE NURSE MARE'S FOAL
Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal is the story of one little foals fight for survival after being taken from his mother within hours of his birth. Dinky, takes us on a poignant trip through the heart and mind of an animal, who was born for the sole purpose of producing milk in the mare. In the elite world of horses, Dinky was considered a by-product, a ‘junk foal.’
Dinky’s story will resonate with animal lovers, as well as anyone who has adopted. Although a horse, his story has been called an adoption story. The reader can follow him through the heartbreak, cruelty, loneliness, and finally to happiness in his forever home. His story is based on true events. Each event from the moment the author met Dinky actually happened, though it is the author’s interpretation of what he might have been thinking and feeling during the occasions described in his story. His early life which is unknown has been fictionalized by the author and constructed through research and imagination. There are many wonderful animal rescue leagues, many are very empathic to these young animals, though some are not. Since Ms. Bishop has no knowledge of Dinky’s early days she used the latter to enhance the strength of his story. It will break your heart, open your eyes, lift you up, and teach you much about horses. It is suitable for all ages. |
The Between Times
Marta Moran Bishop takes the reader through a possible future. Unlike Orwell’s, Animal Farm and 1984, or Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, The Between Times is not based on the government ‘Big Brother,’ but rather it is written using a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that says corporations are people. In The Between Times, we are shown the possibility of a world where the poor are considered to be a beast of burden, good only for the labor they can produce or the war they can fight, to enable the war profiteers to make more money.
Poor women are only useful for breeding and considered to be property of men. There is no way for the poor, who are uneducated to move up the latter, and the middle class is gone. In this short novel, The United States has taken a social, economic, and cultural step backwards, to a time when our world consisted of lords and serfs. The only thing that keeps those who are not in the ruling class of the elite, going is the belief in a prophecy, that one day a girl will be born who will have the ability to unite all kindred spirits past, present, and future, to bring change to the world. A truly amazingly imaginative book. |
Poetry:
A Poet's Journey: Emotions, is a veritable roller coaster of emotions from heights of joy to the depths of despair. In its six sections it covers nature, love, death, rebirth, humor, despair, loss, and betrayal. |
Marta Moran Bishop continues her journey in Sunlight and Shadows. This book of poetry, unlike A Poet’s Journey: Emotions, is a more thought provoking book. In its pages, she covers everything from God, to life after death, war, and the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Still she is able to bring to life the beauty and grandeur of her surroundings and make us laugh, cry, think, and feel.
She believes it is how we deal with despair, tragedy, and joy that define us as human beings. |
A Walk Through Nature, is a dynamic look at the natural world through the eyes of a poet. Marta Moran Bishop's, vibrant verses enabled me to visualize, smell, and feel our world. Saket Suryesh, an author and poet, kindly allowed us to add some of his brilliant and emotionally, charged verses to this collection.
