Author Melissa R. Martin Releases Second Poetry Book

Inspirational Poet Melissa R. Martin, Author of Trapped in My Pen, (released 2008, Candalyse Publishing) is set to release her second book.

Mountain Tops and Lighthouses

Melissa R. Martin has a lot to be grateful for. Her strong faith and unwavering perseverance enabled her to escape a violent marriage and begin her life anew. Her first book, Trapped in My Pen, has received worldwide acclaim and is empowering women to take a stand against domestic violence.

When the storms of life are raging
In the midst of churning seas
When I’m going under for the third time
A voice whispers to me

Fear not my weary my little one
Be not troubled, nor be afraid
Trust in the One who only speaks
And the wind and seas obey

Skies may darken, winds may blow
Tough times, hard to get through
But mountain tops and light houses
Are always within view

The anchor holds you securely
Still holding, in spite of the storm
Morning is coming, I’m right here with you
And no one will cause you harm

Your boat may drift aimlessly
Take you treacherously from the shore
But abide in me, and I will see
You safely home once more

Storms of life, they come and go
The valleys are before you too
But mountain tops and light houses
Are always within view.

If I Never Try

If I Never Try

I will never reach the mountain top

If I don’t attempt the climb

One foot forward,

One step closer

To the approaching finish line.

I may never touch another’s heart

My Judge and Jury

My Judge and Jury

Inside my thoughts, my bleeding soul
I struggle from time to time
While others stand by, watching, pointing
Like they can read MY mind

Candalyse Publishing Gets a Facelift

April 2008 proved to be a record breaking month in the history of Candalyse Publishing, the independent publishing company founded by Miriam L. Jacobs.

Inspired by the desire to help other authors and poets get published, as well as a need to raise funds for her granddaughter’s surgeries, Mrs. Jacobs was inspired to launch her own publishing company in March 2007. Just a few short months later,

Upcoming Release,

“To all who struggle with differences in their lives, and to all the victims of hate crimes. To everyone who stood beside me, and to those who were blinded by my differences, maybe this book will open your eyes!

New Release: Trapped in My Pen

Beautiful Melissa R. Martin releases

Trapped in My Pen to a positive reception.

Born in Pound, Virginia to a loving family, Melissa is a coal miner’s daughter. Growing up in a family which provided love, nurturing, kindness, and respect, she fell in love and married. Little did she know she’d spend the next 18 years of her life fighting for survival at the hands of an abusive chronic alcoholic.

Trapped in My Pen is the poetic, triumphant journey from

Beneath the Fallen Snow

Another year has come and gone
Full of memories, laughter, and such
A dash of sorrow here and there
Loved ones we’ll miss so much…

All things green, are barren now
Just longing to venture and grow
