A 96-year-old Cantankerous Writer and Ex-Navy Captain S. Martin Shelton

from How to Write a Book from A-Z · host Lisa Greinert

Send us Fan MailGrit. Or as he calls himself, just plain old cantankerous. Either way, what he has accomplished in 96 years far exceeds what most of us will experience in our own lives. This one is longer than usual. Out of respect for this man's service to our country and the fact that he reminds us of wars and why we were in them in the first place, I decided to keep our conversation as is. I believe everyone who listens will leave with a sense of wonderment for what men and women have done for us for years, fight and die for our freedom. You will also hear about his newer career as a writer. The career that really started when he was in his seventies. HOME | Shelton-Comm
