LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Richard Martin, raised in West Covina and living now in Santa Monica, read a news story years ago about a Los Angeles minister who climbed a flagpole to preach to the masses below. Martin was struck by the notion, including the fact that the minister's wife was running a small restaurant under the pole while her husband carried out his mission above. Unfortunately, the pole was blown down by Santa Ana winds after only a few days, and the preacher wound up in the hospital with a broken leg and no converts.

Key Points:

Martin looked up the number of the restaurant and called the man's wife.
His 1995 LA Weekly ad, beginning "Hermit Seeks Lone Wolf," led to his meeting the woman he would marry in 2003.
Seventy feet below Joe, on seen-better-days Western Avenue, his artist-wife Clover and young son Nate hope to turn their tawdry caf into a successful venture.
"In his wonderful debut novel, Oranges for Magellan, Richard Martin has created a marvelously comic yet profound quest tale for our times."
