Linda Jo Martin

 

I enjoy cooking, photography, art, reading, writing, and learning about new things. I'm also into gold prospecting, Bigfoot research, and visiting swimming holes with my boyfriend, Bob. My lenses cover a lot of topics - as a reflection of the way my life is: diversified.

Movies 

...I'm going to write only about my favorite movies here.

Music 

...maybe the first of many?

I love music - who doesn't? I've even written songs. Maybe someday I'll do a lens about that. But for now, this is the only music lens I've got.

Books: Reading and Writing Them 

...lots of lenses about books and writing

I'm the author of about ten unpublished novels. This is more than a hobby - I hope someday to get these published. As part of my training to write, I need to read a lot. Consequently a lot of my lenses are about reading and the books that I love.

More about books... 

The Newbery Series, part one (Children's Books) 

The Newbery Series, part two (Children's Books) 

Blogging & Web 2.0 

Thrifty Living 

...for those of us who like to save money.

Emergency Preparedness 

...better safe than sorry.

I've had close scrapes with natural disasters: fire and flooding. Consequently I put together this lens to show people how they can prepare for that knock on the door.

Government, Legal Issues, Politics 

...I'm mainly interested in family rights.

Bigfoot 

...I'm a Bigfoot researcher

Do you believe in Bigfoot? Maybe after you read what's been going on around my house in the forest, you'll believe there's something out there.

Culinary Adventures 

Divination, Dowsing, Energy Healing 

...another hobby of mine

I enjoy several forms of divination, including dowsing with a pendulum, cards (though I'm not using traditional Tarot cards), and using the I-Ching. I've also used several energy healing methods including EFT, Quantum Touch, and Reiki. I'm sure I'll...

Outdoor Recreation 

...things to do in the sunshine.

My little town in the mountains, Happy Camp, is known as "The Home of Outdoor Family Recreation". We've got lots of things to do here so long as they are rugged outdoor adventures... so this plays a large role in my life.

Squidoo 

...I love this subject.

One thing we lensmasters love is to read or write lenses about Squidoo. This is a popular topic.

The Sixties 

I'm doing research on the sixties for a novel I need to revise.

Time Travel 

...I'm just curious - is it really possible?

Webdesign & SEO 

...probably the first of many lenses in this category

I started a webdesign business in 2002.

Where I live - the Klamath River Valley

Goal: 200 Lenses 

...by the end of 2009.

I've made a blog on WordPress.Com to track my progress in making 200 lenses.

Hi, Linda,
I love Northern California. My boys love gold panning more than anything. Good luck to us both for Giant Squid in just a few more weeks!

Hi Linda -- Thanks for dropping by to say hello -- well, maybe someday you will get that trip to Lily Dale -- I do recommend it. It's been a while since I last visited. I'm really thrilled to find your lensography and see so many great lenses that you've created!

About LindaJM



I will be presenting a workshop on Creating An Impressive Writing Website at the 2008 Muse Online Writers Conference from October 13 through 19, 2008.

I've written a lot of unpublished novels and have one nearly ready for submissions. You can learn more about my writing through my site, Perspectives on Writing.


I live in the Klamath River Valley of Northern California. I have five children - the youngest is 18. I spend my spare time with my boyfriend, Bob. We like to watch movies at home on DVD, swim, hike, and prospect for gold in the Siskiyou Mountains.

I started blogging in 2001. It took a long time to discover Squidoo, which started in 2005. I guess I was too busy with my blogs so I didn't join until 2007. I tell my entire Squidoo history in my Squidoo diary.

A few of my blogs:

Bigfoot Sightings
Country Kitchen Pantry
Fight CPS
Mystic Movie Reviews
Independent Homeschooling

In case you're interested in starting a blog, check out my Blogging Tips.

Having made the jump to Squidoo, I'm thrilled to say I've started a few Squidoo blogs too.
Lensmastery by Linda - this one has articles to inspire lensmasters
200 Lenses - this one tracks my progress toward my goal of having 200 Squidoo lenses

My priority right now is making fifty lenses so I can be considered for the Giant Squid program. After that I'll be promoting the fifty lenses I made, plus improving them and making more.

Gold Star

This is a certified gold star lens, which means it's the best of its kind on Squidoo (or shows some serious potential for getting there!)
