Martha Hunt Handler sees magic at work everywhere around her. She doesn’t believe in coincidences, only co-incidents: things that we hear, see or feel that help remind our soul of its path. She appreciates the phrase, “Grow or Wilt,” and thinks that’s what we’re all here for – to continually expand our hearts and minds as we navigate our way through the plethora of experiences we are presented with for this purpose.
Raised in Northern Illinois, Handler began to see wolves in her dreams from a very early age. Always a nature girl, she spent her free time either swimming in a lake or roaming around in the Enchanted Forrest near her home. It was there she first heard nature speaking to her; asking for help while promising guidance in this endeavor. After earning a degree in environmental conservation at UC Boulder, she worked as an environmental consultant in D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles.
While in a bar in Cozumel, Mexico she magically met the love of my life, Rich. They had four children in five years, and in her rare moments of solitude began to write creative pieces, which she found immensely soul fulfilling. When her family moved to New York in 1996, another serendipitous/magical moment occurred when she heard wolves howling. Curious, since they’d been wiped out of New York state more than 100 years prior, she ventured into the woods behind her house and found three grey wolves in a large enclosure. She soon learned that these wolves were to be the initial ambassadors for the Wolf Conservation Center (nywolf.org), a non-profit that was being formed. She immediately jumped on board, literally (she’s now Board President), to help them fulfill their mission of education and as a breeding and pre-release facility for the two most critically endangered wolf species in North America.
With her adult children now grown and flown, Handler is able to focus on pursuing those passions that most pull at her heartstrings: wolves and writing. She spends weekdays in Tribeca, New York and weekends near the wolves in South Salem, New York. Her first novel, Winter of the Wolf, was published by Greenleaf in July, 2020.
