About Adrienne
More about Martini
I was a former Babble blogger/feature writer.
How I came to write for Edible Austin is kind of a long story.
I write a quarterly books column about titles that have to do with eating sustainably, locally and well.
Since I live neither in the Finger Lakes nor in the Hudson Valley, I pitch to every Edible within driving distance.
Sometimes, writers are lucky enough to earn kudos from folks they admire. Here's what other folks have had to say about my work.
I write a bi-monthly book review column for Locus, the magazine that covers the science fiction and fantasy field.
I don't just write books.
My kids are a rich source of inspiration. I consider letting me write about them to be their contribution to room and board.
Shaken and Stirred; Five Years of Parenting Imperfect
For five years, I've written about my kids in the local almost-daily newspaper, like a modern day Erma Bombeck.
I'm shoving a bunch of stuff into this last category because some of it is old enough that I don't really even remember writing it. Except for the Moorcock piece, which I will never forget.
Chapter by chapter, I'm podcasting Sweater Quest.
Sometimes, it's nice to get out of the house. Please come see me if you're in the neighborhood.

"Adrienne Martini's writing slices like a paper cut, sharp and quick. Her story reminds us that life stings, and that we, all of us, can heal."
"I could NOT put Sweater Quest down! I felt as though I was knitting the sweater along with Adrienne, felt her pain and her joy. Once I even thought, as I was packing the car, 'Now WHERE is that Alice Starmore sweater I was working on?' The book became that insinuated into my psyche. I love this book."

“To answer the seemingly innocent question, 'What makes knitters knit?" Martini visits knitterly landmarks, chats with influential figures, and ponders our peculiar habits and traditions—all the while marking her journey's progress through an exquisite Alice Starmore Fair Isle sweater. All roads ultimately lead back to one simple universal truth: It's not about the wearing, it's about the making.”
Hillbilly Gothic by Adrienne Martini
"My family has a grand tradition. After a woman gives birth, she goes mad. I thought that I would be the one to escape."
Ira Glass by Ira Glass
" If you do creative work, there's a sense that inspiration is this fairy dust that gets dropped on you, when in fact you can just manufacture inspiration through sheer brute force. You can simply produce enough material that the thing will arrive that seems inspired."
"Hillbilly Gothic captures the fascinating contradictions of the women of modern Appalachia. Adrienne clearly illuminates the pain and shame suffered by those with closeted mental illness, while retaining respect for the several generations of brave mothers and daughters in her family who lived through it. This book is beautifully written, thought-provoking, and slyly funny."
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson

'My condolences,' he said.

In its humor and empathy, it's a nonjudgmental resource for the thousands of mothers battling the "baby blues."
“Adrienne Martini combines her passion for knitting with her astonishing ambition, bringing to her lovely new memoir an enthusiasm which is infectious."
Robert Charles Wilson by Robert Charles Wilson
"Some of the memories I mean to set down aren't pleasant ones, or flattering, and I tremble a little at the prospect of reliving them
Sweater Quest by Adrienne Martini
Two kids, two jobs, three cats and one husband weren't enough to worry about.
Sharp and sassy with a hint of rue, Hillbilly Gothic traces the strain of psychosis that runs like a witch's curse through the author's genetic heritage.
