Investigative journalist extraordinaire. Politics to the core.
Welcome to the site of Martha Skewermann, experienced fictional investigative journalist and author of a highly-anticipated book…
DIRE AND PUNY – Outside Chump’s Blackened House
NOW RELEASED! (as of late 2019)
… detailing the dramatic events surrounding the mayoral incumbency of Ronnie S. Chump.
Martha’s contribution stands to overturn the conventions of current political journalism and will leave you pleading for her to continue pounding that keyboard.
Martha starts her day with a shot of Mud then hammers away on her Commando typewriter to bring you the most up-to-date political reporting from Washtown.
Martha Skewermann is a fictional investigative journalist with over 25 years experience who recently had the privilege of chronicling the administration of Mr Ronnie Chump.
She has now completed her explosive account of the inner workings of the Chump administration, entitled
“Dire and Puny – Outside Chump’s Blackened House”
(not to be confused with an earlier book with a similar title)
This much-anticipated publication represents a tectonic shift in the reporting of modern politics.
Despite her lengthy contribution to the field of political journalism, Martha has received absolutely no recognition nor any awards for anything in her life. She has never been a regular columnist for any magazines, nor has she appeared in print before. Her editors have been remarkably unkind in withholding her wonderful words from the rolling presses.
Yet Martha has been inspired by the noble Mayor Chump to return to her writer’s desk with alacrity to truthfully document the history-making events now unfolding in her city.
Martha has now gone live on Twitter and the interwebs, setting aside her trusty Commando typewriter (pictured) and jam scone for the new-fangled digital media and an electronic keyboard.
We hope that Martha continues to pound her new keyboard for many years to come.
Martha lives in a constant state of curiosity and bewilderment with her 2 cats and kimodo dragon.

Martha is a true traditionalist, still writing her articles and books with a prized ink-filled fountain pen gifted to her by her late grandfather
(before she then smashes out her final draft on the Commando typewriter).
Martha’s use of this original writing implement gives her unique a connection to the page, and to her readers.
