Jeff calls it his Labor of Love. As Jeff Martin told me, \u201cThe Oak Wheel started as a venue for me to promote my own writing, poetry and short stories. It quickly became an amalgam of other fiction authors that I met through social media. Today, it\u2019s almost like an online newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When I asked Jeff where he gets his inspiration for posts, he smiled: \u201cI just see what my whim and fancy is for the day. When I write short stories, I often use writing prompts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Martin is currently working on two novels, a fantasy and a sci-fi thriller. Jeff describes his fantasy novel: \u201cIt\u2019s kindda my baby. It\u2019s based on the idea of The Oak Wheel. The story is set in a world where there are a group of gods and goddesses, Greek tragedy style, that rule over this world and gamble over the fate of this world. The series is about the trials and tribulations of the people that have to deal with the repercussions of the gambling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sci-fi thriller has a dystopian theme: \u201cA calamitous event occurs on Earth that forces a group of astronauts to orbit the Earth for over 10,000 years. The captain goes nuts and decides that he wants to go back to the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Martin is working on both books simultaneously. He plans to have both books edited by the end of this year. He\u2019s debating whether to self-publish or go through the long query route (and send his manuscripts out to publishers). Jeff hopes to publish both books by the summer of 2015.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2676\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-writing-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Martin sitting and writing \" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-writing-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-writing-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-writing-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-writing-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-writing-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Although Jeff does not have a formal writing background, he\u2019s always been an avid reader. \u201cInstead of going out and playing, I would rather have stayed inside reading. Over the years, I kept writing. I\u2019ve always come back to writing as an outlet, to get out my passion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When I asked Jeff Martin how he uses social media, he told me: \u201cSocial media is a godsend for anyone who doesn\u2019t have a major way to get their artistry out. I use Twitter very heavily. I used to be very heavy into Facebook, but I noticed consumers shifting towards Twitter. I try to blast people on a daily basis, not only about what I\u2019m doing, but about what the authors contributing to my blog are doing as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Martin advises other authors, \u201cMy biggest advice is to write for yourself and put that out there. I\u2019m also a musician. I spent most of my twenties chasing a dream that I would be commercially successful as a musician, and my music was greatly affected by it. In hindsight, I should have just written for myself. So, now as a writer, when I sit down at the keyboard, I put forth a product that I want to read, not necessarily something I think will be commercially successful. Although it seems counter-intuitive, I think that\u2019s the best way to get noticed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Jeff Martin, \u201cPromotion is one thing, but people notice when you are passionate about something. Don\u2019t get mired down with \u2018Is someone going to like this?\u2019 If you don\u2019t like it, then probably no one else will. So, start with yourself and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a writer and want to participate with The Oak Wheel, email Jeff Martin at <a href=\"mailto:JeffMartin707@gmail.com\">JeffMartin707@gmail.com<\/a> or go to the About Me section of the website and click the email link.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the complete video interview on the Amused Now YouTube channel:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/53GLJyxrNa4\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/53GLJyxrNa4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2678\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-reading-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Martin sitting and reading\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-reading-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-reading-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-reading-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-reading-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Jeff-Martin-sitting-and-reading-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Jeff Martin<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/theoakwheel.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TheOakWheel.wordpress.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Jeff_Martin707\" target=\"_blank\">@Jeff_Martin707<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jeffmartin707?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/+JeffMartinAuthor\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie author Jeff Martin publishes an amazing blog called The Oak Wheel, which is a mixture of poetry, stories and random thoughts.
