Marta Ray and the Undersea Kingdom – William R. Smith

How does a scholar whose academic work has been featured in academic journals around the world choose to write a children’s book series? Who is Marta? What old children’s story did he decided to expand upon and why?  For those of you who love the world of imagination that a writer’s world always embraces, I think his story might resonate with you and encourage you to revive your writer’s muse.
