I’ve used this word and enjoyed it for years without thinking what it literally means, but then, one day, I was using it and thought, “It means before the great flood! That’s what it really means!” I guess I’d have known that if I relied more on dictionaries and less on context.

Published by Martha Kennedy
Martha Kennedy has published four works of historical fiction. Her first novel, Martin of Gfenn, was awarded the Editor’s Choice by the Historical Novel Society Indie Review, the BRAG Medallion from IndieBRAG in 2015, and, in 2017, was named to the shortlist for the Chaucer Award from Chanticleer Reviews. Her other novels, Savior, The Brothers Path, and The Price form a loose series, looking at the experiences of the same family, Savior in the 13th century during the Crusades, The Brothers Path looks at the experiences of six brothers in the 16th during the Protestant Reformation and The Price brings the family to America in 1743. Savior and The Brothers Path are IndieBRAG Honorees.
Kennedy has also published a memoir entitled My Everest which is a compilation of stories about her years of trail hiking in the "wilderness" around San Diego with her dogs. My Everest is also an IndieBRAG honoree.
Kennedy has also published many short-stories and articles in a variety of publications from the Denver Post to the Business Communications Quarterly.
For many years she lived in the San Diego area, most recently in Descanso, a small town in the Cuyamaca Mountains. She now lives in Colorado, in Monte Vista, a small town in the San Luis Valley that she thinks might be Heaven.
