edit data

Created in a vat far from this world, C.M. Martens was sent to watch over this plane, to observe and witness the human condition. Discontent with simple observation, she's chosen to morph this reality into her own image through the written word. Supplied with coffee, sweets, and an endless supply of Trance and Chill electronic music (mixed with some video game soundtracks) C.M. Martens hopes to lead you on an adventure through the pages of her novels.

Quotes by C.M. Martens (?)

“She imagined it was like getting hit by a freight train. In that nano-second, before thoughts vanished, as pain flared, she wondered just how strong she'd become that a train hadn't killed her on impact.”

“They’d disagreed on things but that was okay. Friends could disagree. Disagreement didn’t make you enemies. It brought you closer by forcing you to better understand yourself and each other.”
