......... or a "multitude" or a "murmuration" ?? Anyway, whatever is the corrective collective noun, the ranks of those who have played the part of Martha Morgan thus far are about to be increased dramatically, in more senses than one.
Two beautiful young women, Rhiannon James and Anna Munro, have played Martha in our photo shoot and in our promotional video, bringing quite different features of Martha's character to the fore. It has been delightful to work with both of them.
Then we owe a great deal to Lis Evans, who has attended all of our book launches and has read -- very beautifully -- extracts from Martha's diaries. Then we have Leanne Masterton, who narrated the diaries in the original Corgi audiobooks based on "On Angel Mountain" and "House of Angels."
Next up, we are going to get at least two more Marthas, as female narrators are pulled in for the charity and commercial recordings of the books. No names as yet.
And then..... the TV series. I wonder which Welsh actress will be favourite for the role? Or roles, since Martha is a suicidal teenager at the beginning of the saga and a sexy and eccentric matriarch at the end -- and that must involve at least two actresses.
