      Bel mooney biography of martin I wrote more than 30 books for children, and really enjoyed those years, especially going to schools. But my work answering problem letters — first in The Times and, for the past 11 years, in the Daily Mail — brings me enormous satisfaction. I know it does some good, because readers regularly write to tell me, and say thank you. As a young reporter, I met so many different types; but my lifelong inspiration has also been literature. The message of Christ reaches deep into our relationships, and enjoins tolerance, forgiveness, love.
