About this author

Martha Brockenbrough is author of Devine Intervention, a young adult novel about an inept guardian angel. It comes out in June, 2012. Her other books include
Things That Make Us [Sic], a hilarious guide to things that can go wrong with English, and It Could Happen to You, a diary of her first pregnancy. She's the founder of National Grammar Day and SPOGG, the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar.


Karl Lagerfeld might be a crazy old coot, but he has developed an intriguing perfume that apparently smells like books.



Be sure to click through to see how it's packaged. Pretty darned cool.


We'll know he's gone totally 'round the bend when he makes WOOF: Perfume for People Passionate about Dogs. That one would be packaged in what, a fire hydrant?

Thank you, Jane! Nice to see you here, too! I hope you're having a delightful fall.


Lady Jane Hi, Martha! Miss Grammar Queen! Good to see you on Good Reads! Thanks for adding me here as well as on Linked In. You're so awesome, I love your posts, your articles, and I really need to buy that book of yours as well! The one titled "Things That Makes Us (Sic)." Before my grammar slips to the point of making YOU sic, I will end it here. :) Cheers and have a delightful afternoon, Madame!


Martha Miss Erin,

You have it...right? Let me know. If you don't, I can send.

Happy holidays!
