Martin R. Shaw is a writer and paranormal enthusiast from the North East of Scotland.

He writes about UFOs, cryptids and ghosts in a fun and engaging style, including plenty of jokes and pop culture references along the way.

Martin Shaw liked Laura Blyth's review of Too Weird 2 Be Fake! (Too Weird! Book 2): "Another fantastic tongue in cheek look at the world of the 'weirder than weird'! A must read for every fan of 'edu-tainment' but will also appeal to those seeking the lesser known strange encounters from around the world. "
